Sustainability Strategy

SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL

The radical changes currently taking place in the economy and the markets, in the environment and in society have led to the need for new sustainable and circular business models to be designed and developed, based on highly innovative strategies, products and company organisations to render sustainability and circularity a real business opportunity.

Preserving our roots and our DNA is the starting point for facing the challenges of the future, guaranteeing technological excellence, developing innovation and keeping the business competitive in the long term, being convinced that the transparency of information that generates trust, what we call TRUSTPARENCY^®, represents an essential element to generate value and guarantee safety and sustainability.

COMMITMENT

The way of doing business, guided by a clear and distinctive strategic vision right from the very start: to guarantee the safety of people, products, businesses and supply chains through an ecosystem of technologies. All this by integrating sustainability principles into its growth strategy, which has become a point of reference for guiding development.
