ESG seems to be becoming a more intrinsic part of business for companies across sectors. Is it fair to say it’s now indispensable?
In today’s business landscape, having a robust Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity. Companies are increasingly judged not only by the quality of their products but by the values they uphold and how responsibly they conduct their operations. ESG credentials now influence a wide range of factors, from consumers’ willingness to pay for products and services to investors’ decisions, a company’s creditworthiness, and its ability to attract top talent. The stakes are higher than ever. Companies that place ESG at the core of their operations are the ones thriving—ensuring long-term growth while making a meaningful difference in the world.

Our commitment goes beyond producing world-class products; it’s about acting responsibly toward all our stakeholders, including customers, communities, and the environment.
