CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Together we all face the great challenge of making our use of raw materials and energy more sustainable. We take responsibility for making a positive contribution to this and are actively engaged in limiting our impact on the environment. We are committed to examining the impact of our activities on the environment, the public and the living environment and adapting our policy accordingly.

CO2 REDUCTION

Thanks to the reduction in energy consumption within our business operations and reduction of CO2 in projects and in the chain, we have been rectified on the CO2 performance ladder v3.1 on step 3 since April 2016.

Our goal? Achieve at least level 4 on the CO2 performance ladder. We achieve this by including the emission data of our suppliers and waste processing companies in the new CO2 reduction plans.
