SUSTAIN’2030: sustainable actions throughout the value chain
In 2022, Tereos unveiled its SUSTAIN' 2030 road map, designed to provide a tangible response to the environmental changes we are seeing in our fields, consumers' new expectations in terms of food, healthcare and mobility, and the social challenges relating to work and diversity. It is essential that we continue and ramp up our actions in order to play our part in this transformation and make sustainability a real driver of value creation.
