Environmental and Social Sustainability

SANOVIE recognizes that the emphasis on environmental sustainability is critical to being a responsible member within the global community. We are committed to operating in a manner that minimizes our impact on the environment. In practice we emphasize the importance of energy conservation, waste management, recycling and responsible supply through a series of initiatives.

What are we doing

As part of our commitment to environmental sustainability, SANOVIE continually reassesses its objectives to be fulfilled within previously established deadlines.

Option for electronic devices of less energy consumption.

Waste management and recycling
