ESG
Environment, Social, Governance

HSE
Health, Safety, Environment
A Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) initiative is a comprehensive program implemented by organizations to protect employees, the public, and the environment from potential hazards associated with their operations. It typically includes policies, procedures, and practices to prevent accidents, reduce health risks, and minimize environmental impacts.
DEI
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) focuses on creating a welcoming environment by embracing people from different backgrounds, ensuring fair treatment and opportunities for everyone, and fostering a sense of belonging. It’s about valuing differences and making sure everyone feels respected and included.
EPR
Extended producer responsibility
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a system that holds companies responsible for the entire life cycle of the products they create, from design to disposal. EPR encourages businesses to make more sustainable choices, like using recyclable materials and reducing waste, to minimize their environmental impact and protect our planet for future generations.
