Charter for responsible purchasing and sustainable development
Sustainable Development is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) consists of declining the principles of Sustainable Development at the level of a company. CSR harmoniously reconciles the following 3 pillars: economic profitability, social and environmental equity. It is reflected in the company's desire to assume responsibility for the impacts of its decisions and activities on society and the environment and to report on them.
NATUR'AL PACKAGING is fully committed to Sustainable Development and has positioned Corporate Social Responsibility as a major strategic issue.
