SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

 

Social Responsibility
We consider social responsibility to be a commitment to the satisfaction of our customers and shareholders, along with an interest in our employees and the community in general. We observe an adherence to strict ethical standards, a long-term vision, and compliance with the laws wherever we operate, while seeking to make economic development and environmental protection a fundamental part of our competitiveness.

Mission of Social Responsibility
