Global Sustainability Day 2024
Our team in Schaffhausen participated in Global Sustainability Day by visiting the plant-based meat company "Planted" and Zurich's largest wastewater treatment plant.

At Planted, we explored the environmental benefits of pea-based meat alternatives and sampled their products. The visit to the wastewater facility showcased how household water is treated to ensure that water released back into the environment is clean and safe.

Over the past several years we have provided volunteer and financial support to various local charitable organizations. As an example, we collaborated with the Friedeck School as they constructed a new outdoor recreational area for the community. Our volunteers were heavily involved in the construction and installation of several elements of the playground, including the climbing wall, a football field and a sitting area. Additionally, we partnered with the Cabot Corporation Foundation, Inc. to provide funding for the project.
