Silver Medal for CO₂ Footprint

To measure and better understand our CO₂ footprint, we partnered with Greenly. Our aim is to raise employee awareness and develop an effective strategy to reduce our carbon emissions.

In recognition of our commitment to climate protection, we were once again awarded the Silver Medal by Greenly. This distinction confirms our ongoing efforts to implement sustainable initiatives, reduce our environmental impact, and contribute positively to the preservation of our ecosystem.
