FAIRS & TRADESHOWS
As one of the main players in the promotional business we are aware that Corporate Social Responsibility is critical is for our business and our clients. We acknowledge that our area of business is a high-risk area and needs a robust CSR policy which will guarantee production under safe, and fair working conditions.
We incorporate the role of social concern and the environment in our value creation. Therefore we are continuously reviewing our processes, materials and operational concepts from a different perspective in order to include sustainability in a durable way into our supply chain management.
