Sustainability

Innovation through environmental and social responsibility

As a family owned business Altro have always taken their environmental responsibility seriously. We are a business that also aims to reinvest in society, continually seeking to reduce the impact we may have on the local community and the wider world.

Sustainability is one of our guiding principles and lies at the heart of everything we do. Growing out of a long standing commitment, we strive to reduce the impact our activities and products have on the environment.

In 2008, our commitment to the environment culminated in the launch of our ‘6 Steps to Sustainability’ program – a holistic approach to managing sustainability issues. Those 6 Steps are;

  1. Product Development
  2. Recycling
  3. Carbon Footprint
  4. Energy Saving
  5. Waste Reduction
  6. Social Responsibility
 

By continual assessment Altro aim to set high standards for social and environmental responsibility. We recognize this will not always be an easy task but feel it is an important part of our development as a business. As a commercial organization, one of our key objectives is to generate profit, provide jobs and contribute to the local economy. It is our fundamental belief that we can achieve this and also have a positive effect on the wider community and the environment.

For a number of years Altro has been putting measures in place to improve our sustainability performance. This campaign is about recognizing our successes and identifying key areas that we can tackle as we move forward.
