“Nature is safe,so is my diaper”
With regards to climate action (SDG13), Ontex’s focus is on energy efficiency, renewable energy and supporting climate resilience so that their operations can become carbon neutral by 2030.
The two sites (Eeklo and Turnov) where Ontex produces the « Moltex » brand are already labelled CO2-neutral production plants.
Going beyond purchasing 100% green electricity, the plants compensate for their unavoidable CO2 emissions by supporting climate projects with the aim to install WIND TURBINES in India that will produce 54 000 MWh of electricity per year to supply 50 000 households with renewable electricity.
