Sustainability development key targets

Climate change brings both risks and opportunities for Nolato. Boosting energy efficiency and phasing out fossil fuels is reducing the Group’s carbon footprint. These measures also create preparedness for higher fees and taxes on carbon-emitting operations. Greater use of recycled and bio-based raw materials are other initiatives that will help reduce carbon emissions. So environmentally sustainable product development is a priority area, in which the Group’s expertise and technology can contribute to customers’ environmental and carbon reduction efforts.
