We develop our business in a responsible way, pursuing the implementation of sustainability principles in all our business activities, acting responsibly on the Romanian market and trying to contribute to the development of a sustainable business environment. We maintain the alignment of our strategic directions with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in line with the targets set by the European Climate Pact. We aim for a better future for all and assume our part in this effort. For this reason, we aim to integrate sustainability principles into all our activities, including the governance of the organization. Because sustainable development is not an individual process, we are constantly striving to communicate with stakeholders and effectively identify their needs. Through joint actions and collaboration in the value chain, we can achieve results that support sustainable development for both the community and the business environment, while protecting the environment. Through our sustainability strategy, we want to contribute and create a sustainable business in the Romanian market and increase the quality of life of local communities. This vision is assumed in a collective way within our organization, both on the part of employees and management. All these aspects will be found in the actions and measures we present in this report, from our environmental protection measures, to those to mitigate climate change to social responsibility and support projects for local communities.
