HSE & Sustainability

Sustainability is how we treat each other and our stakeholders, how we take the environment into account in all of our actions, and how we foster economic performance now and in the future.

Sustainability means that the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

 This is about anything under the broad to do list of "doing things well by doing good"

 There are global guidelines, that can be used to selet approriate topics to be disclosed on environmental, economic, social governance subsystems of sustainability.

Sustainability is how we treat each other and our stakeholders, how we take the environment into account in all of our actions, and how we foster economic performance now and in the future.
