Sustainability in Zato
OUR JOURNEY TO ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
We have always associated sustainability and circularity with our work. We want to go beyond the simple concept of the sustainability budget and turn it into an opportunity for growth, seeking the balance between the benefits we bring and the negative impacts we may cause, embracing the challenges of climate and social change.
This is why we present our commitment to circularity and the five strategic sustainability themes that guide the journey of our entire team. We recognize that some goals are yet to be fully defined, but our goal is to turn sustainability into responsibility, day by day.
