OUR APPROACH

12 – Responsible consumption and production

For ENGEL, responsible consumption and production is upheld in three ways; through responsible product design and product lifecycle development, establishing ethical partnerships with suppliers that comply with the standards for responsible production creating a transparent value chain and adhering to international standards that reduce the use of harmful chemicals and substances within our products. As a company, we are dedicated to material innovation and other sustainable initiatives throughout the value chain to minimise our overall environmental impact.
