Acting for a sustainable materials sector

Integrate environmental protection at every stage of production

Favoring an eco-design approach to products and the implementation of a circular economy promoting reuse and recycling.

Securing the industry in the face of a complex supply chain

Guaranteeing the traceability and transparency of raw materials right through to the consumer, the origin of recycled raw materials, and controlling environmental and social risks.

Develop socially responsible supply chains

Enabling safe and dignified working conditions, fair prices and ethical, long-term commercial relationships.
