The Vita Group aims for 50% of products to have sustainable alternatives by 2030 Date published: 22 April 2021
Vita CEO Ian Robb
The Vita Group has launched a new sustainability strategy which aims for half of its product range to have a sustainably-sourced option by 2030.
The strategy will enable the company, which employs 2,700 people across Europe and is headquartered in Middleton, to further develop its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy.
The company, which produces polyurethane foam, is hoping its Enhancing Everyday Life strategy will inspire businesses from within its supply chain and the wider foam industry to follow its lead and set similar goals to help drive the momentum for more sustainable manufacturing materials and processes.
