Sustainability

Sustainable Innovation is the binding thread of our entire supply chain, with a particular focus on product, process and materials development. In our pursuit of innovation, we also care deeply about any impacts this focus may have on the environment and on those people involved.

Innovation

All our crews across our businesses strongly focus on sustainability. We believe that what distinguishes truly outstanding products is not only the best product quality and performance but also the commitment to the environmental and social responsibility of the manufacturer. We believe that innovations require processes that promote and improve sustainability in the use of resources by manufacturers that is of benefit to consumers. We will continuously work to improve our processes and practices as technologies and material science advance. Because this commitment is ingrained throughout our businesses, our systems, and our product development strategies, we will make consistent and measurable progress in implementing our commitments.

For these reasons, our objective is to develop:

  1. Those product designs and products that most effectively and efficiently meet our customers’ requirements;
  2. Stable processes with the smallest possible impacts on environments and people;
  3. Materials that use environmentally friendly (renewable/recycled) from sustainable sources
  4. Operationally effective and efficient solutions that provide added value to our customers.
