Corporate Social Responsibility

WE TAKE OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a form of business aimed at the impact that an organisation's decisions and activities have on society and the environment. This is achieved by applying transparent and ethical behaviour. This means we integrate human rights, consumer interests and social, ethical and environmental issues in our activities and core strategy.

As an industry, we believe it is our duty to make a commitment to sustainability. We therefore have a strong Environmental- Social- Governance (ESG) program within each step of our production process: from Supply Chain, Production, Installation all the way to end-of-life processing.

Thanks to our efforts, we have already received a number of valuable certificates. Our goal is to keep improving our certified environmental & social management system.
