Environmental Performance Indicators Management System

The management indicators provide an overview of our environmental management system at Group level.

Investing in know-how and relevant expertise is essential to improve environmental performance. It is training that enables us to achieve our environmental goals and the desired impact on value drivers in our various business areas. Audits play an important role in the necessary controls and in defining new measures.
