4. Implementing the procedures and practices
5. Monitoring and measuring environmental performance
6. Continuous improvement of environmental performance

Contribution to success?

By reusing, recycling and reducing consumption, costs are reduced and waste is eliminated, with a direct impact on the treasury management.
