Our Responsibility Towards the Environment

Our purchasing decisions, whether large or small, have far-reaching impacts on the environment. Whether a choice is made by a company or an individual, the full extent of its impact is not always considered.

• What materials is the product made from?

• What is the manufacturing process, and does it come from nearby or distant sources?

• What is the product’s life cycle, and how can it be safely disposed of?

• Does the manufacturer act responsibly and in accordance with the principles of sustainable development?
