Background and Challenges

The international community has a number of core environmental concerns, including air and water pollution, the proliferation of waste and the rapidly increasing loss of biodiversity¹.

Manufacturers on the front line of efforts to meet these challenges at both the local and global levels. That’s why we spare no effort when it comes to reducing the risk of pollution and emissions that are harmful for the environment. In addition, we support and take part in biodiversity initiatives at and around our facilities.
