Sustainable Development
at CIAT
More than a policy,
a Group philosophy
The CIAT Group has placed
Sustainable Development at the
heart of its industrial and commercial
strategy. Since 2008, every branch
of the company has joined forces to
implement initiatives in this area. The
aim of all these initiatives is to better
protect the Environment, respect
Mankind and sustain the Economy.
By focusing on these 3 interconnected
guidelines
to
progress,
CIAT
commits to carrying out its design
and manufacturing activities in
an increasingly environmentallyfriendly manner in order to reduce
its own ecological footprint. CIAT
helps professionals and customers
implement low-impact projects,
which are made possible thanks to
an ambitious ecodesign programme
integrated into the system and
services offer.
Health, safety and the environment
form an integral part of our procedures
and the daily activities of everyone at
CIAT. The ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001
certification of its industrial sites is
proof of this.
In light of the strategic challenges it
faces today, the CIAT Group acts so as
to balance the needs of Mankind and
the Environment, and aims to attain
the same objective for all:
to live well, live purely, live sustainably.
