Considering the environment

We make the best use of modern technology to increase the efficiency of our factory operations, reducing waste, minimising pollution and protecting the integrity of our surrounding area.

We go above and beyond industry standards, observing international treaties and agreements, such as CITES and the United Nations Global Compact, to ensure that our products and practices do not endanger people, wildlife or local ecologies.
