Sustainable business for the future
As an advocate for sustainable development, ITAB acknowledges the responsibility to ensure that its pursuit of profitability aligns with ethical and environmentally conscious practices.
This commitment extends across the entire value chain, encompassing manufacturers, suppliers, and ultimately, consumers. ITAB aims to integrate responsible practices at every stage to contribute positively to both the present and the future.
Sustainability is seamlessly woven into our business ethos, and ITAB aligns itself with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, specifically embracing the Sustainable Development Goals (”SDGs”) designed to gauge the success of this agenda. Through a comprehensive analysis involving vision, strategy, stakeholders, and materiality assessment, ITAB has identified four primary focus areas crucial to the Group’s sustainability journey.
Focus Areas
The focus areas have been decided by the Group management and approved by the Board of Directors. Each of the areas is intricately linked to a key SDG and concurrently contributes to the advancement of other SDGs.
