"Sustainability is one of our core values and strategic priorities at Telko. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact, promoting social responsibility, and ensuring ethical conduct throughout our operations, but also inside the whole value chain where we operate. We believe that sustainability is not only a moral duty, but also a source of competitive advantage and long-term value creation. We are proud of the progress we have made so far, but we also recognize that there is still much work to be done."
