Certified R Corporation

What brought us here?

Our efforts to obtain the certification started in 2016, and since then, we've worked hard to develop strategies, implement initiatives, make concrete changes in our everyday activities through our people, circularity, nature & culture pillars, and focus on what leads us to be a better company for our team, the society, and the environment. This achievement is just one more step in our journey to become a more responsible brand. And even though we still have so much to accomplish, moving forward is the only way to build a better future as long as we do it together.
