Environmental Sustainability as a business strategy

Environmental sustainability is an integral part of Unigrà’s corporate strategy, based on the duty to conduct the business while respecting the environmental balance. To guarantee a sustainable business model over time, a company must be able, through knowledge and innovation, to combine profit and environmental protection. This point of view pushed the company to undertake a path towards sustainability, to limit the pressure exercised on the environment by its activities, as well as to strive every day to implement the environmental corporate policy.
