Haridusministeeriumid, globaalsed kaubamärgid ja ettevõtete hangete meeskonnad, Toote kvaliteet on ainult osa võrrandist. Samuti küsivad nad: Kas tehas vastab keskkonnaeeskirjadele? Kas töökoht on ohutu? Kas töötajaid koheldakse õiglaselt? Saad sa seda tõestada?

Qtenboardil integreeritakse vastutustundlik tootmine tehase toimingutesse keskkonnakontrolli, energiatõhususe projektide kaudu, töökoha ohutusjuhtimine, töötajate kaitse ja nõuete täitmise pidev parandamine. Käesolev artikkel esitleb meie ESG raamistik - mitte kui turundusnõudeid, vaid nagu Auditeeritav tõendusmaterjal Tarnija hindamiseks.
