Welcome to join Oras Group’s sustainability journey!
Promoting our mission, “The Smartest Water Experiences for Everyone” requires a lot, not only from our products but also from ourselves. It means active everyday choices, actions and accomplishments. How do we ensure that our operations take recycling and energy savings as well as environmentally friendly decisions into account? How to support diversity and different views in our personnel, and guarantee fair treatment? And how do we manage to reach the end users’ needs regarding sustainability when we innovate something totally new or develop existing products? These are questions we have concentrated especially intensely during the past couple of years and continue to do so in the near future.
We have already calculated our CO2 emissions and made decisions about scopes 1 and 2. We have defined what sustainability means for us, and under what themes we plan to develop. We have had our actions assessed by EcoVadis. We are also deepening our knowledge about the lifecycles of our products and the impact they have on environment. But above all, we are committed to improve along the way. Let’s enjoy the ride together!
