SUSTAINABILITY
Sourcing Our Materials Responsibly
Sustainability is a social goal that aims to allow humans to live on Earth in harmony with nature for generations to come. It's based on the idea that everything people need for survival and well-being depends on the natural environment, so it's important to use resources like habitats, raw materials, energy, and human labor in a way that can be maintained over time.
