As an industry leader we have a huge responsibility to foster a culture of environmental sustainability throughout the manufacturing process and have been successful owing to our innovative strategies and green technology across all our operations.”


Over the years, the company has received many accolades for adherence to eco-friendly waste management practices especially those maintained by Insee Ecocycle, the sustainable waste management arm of the Insee Group.
