Better Health for All

Improved natural light can reduce fatigue, stress, and eye strain, contributing to mental wellbeing.
2
The company's recycling operations also generate significant positive health externalities, saving approximately 47,000 tonnes of carbon in 2022 compared to using virgin PVC, which indirectly reduces pollution and improves community health.
3
Most other KPIs under 'Better Health for All' are not applicable as the company's primary business activities do not directly involve healthcare, health product provision, or public health initiatives. While Eurocell implements internal employee wellbeing programs, safety training, and mental health support, these fall outside the scope of this value, which focuses on external public health impact. Similarly, the company does not produce health-related products requiring price accessibility, manage sensitive health data, or engage in clinical trials or public health education.
