Your challenge

Our ambition is to ensure 90% of our revenue comes from sustainable products by 2030—driven by renewable and recycled materials that support a circular value chain.

Beyond environmental impact, safety is non-negotiable. Our objective is to have zero accidents, with a structured Behavior-Based Safety program and a clear roadmap to achieving Safety Ladder Level 4. Our people drive our success, which is why we dedicate 2% of our salary budget to training and promote a balanced work environment. We enforce strict compliance measures, including supplier accountability, anti-corruption policies, and whistleblower protection.
