Zato publishes the 2024 Sustainability Report
Cette année encore, nous avons choisi de rendre compte de notre engagement en faveur de la durabilité à travers un rapport rédigé sur une base volontaire.
Nous le faisons afin de garantir une transparence maximale sur un parcours qui fait partie intégrante de notre ADN : contribuer à la transition écologique et être un acteur clé d’une économie véritablement circulaire.
