Protecting the environment

We believe environmental stewardship makes good business sense. We adopt a preventive approach, striving to make efficient use of natural resources and to minimise the environmental impact of our activities and products.

Our structured approach to minimising our environmental impact has helped us make considerable progress: while Group sales have more than doubled in 15 years, emissions have been reduced, and consumption of energy and water has increased at a much slower pace.
