Approach to business activities
We strive to embed sustainability into our daily operations and continuously improve our environmental performance.

-
Operations: We minimize environmental impacts in our operations, comply with relevant legislation, and certify our production sites to international standards (ISO 14001 and ISO 50001). We also adhere to the UN Global Compact principles.

Suppliers: We set environmental standards for our suppliers, conduct audits, and engage with them to improve their environmental performance through the Supplier Sustainability program.
By working together, we aim to protect natural resources and reduce our climate impact, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
