The Bontaz Group’s social and environmental responsibility: increasing our positive impact
By adopting a set of CSR practices based on the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, which Bontaz joined in 2020, the Group demonstrates its commitment to making a positive contribution to achieving international sustainable development goals. This approach places social and environmental concerns at the heart of our strategy, and extends them to our relations with all our stakeholders.
