Protecting the environment
This part of our policy focuses on protecting the natural environment. It stipulates that we avoid processes that generate gaseous pollutant emissions and install closed circuits for waste water recycling. We also commit to providing all our employees with the required training and tools to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. Our duty to protect the environment further entails ensuring all our facilities and processes fulfil all the legal requirements and aiming to reduce energy and water consumption.
