Our 4 impact pillars
Sustainability refers to the ability to maintain and support a certain level of environmental, social, and economic well-being for present and future generations. It is often considered a key aspect of environmental and social responsibility, as well as a means of promoting long-term viability and success.
Sustainability norms are continuously evolving. Thus, the products known as sustainable 5 years ago might not fulfill the sustainability criteria of today. This is why we are constantly improving ourselves and our formulations, to reduce our carbon footprint and try to set an example. By utilizing renewable resources, we reduce our reliance on non-renewable materials to limit the depletion of natural resources and minimize greenhouse gas emissions during production.
Aside from product development, we launched 4 pillars of sustainability during 2022, to support a wider transition towards sustainable leadership within our sectors. Meanwhile, we align our company processes accordingly.
