Our commitment to the planet, people and governance

Sustainability approach

We believe that sustainability is not an option, but an essential path for the industry. A sustainable future can only be achieved by adopting business models that balance economic, social and environmental needs, ensuring respect for the planet and all stakeholders.

Every day, we are committed to process optimization and efficient use of energy in production cycles. We pay widespread attention to water management and the improvement of purification systems, fighting waste with careful staff training to minimize environmental impact.
