The report features dedicated sections detailing each pillar of Xaar’s Sustainability Roadmap – Environment, People, Innovation and Community, and the progress made in these areas. It also showcases the proactive efforts of its dedicated ESG and Continuous Improvement teams, with Xaar recently recognised as a finalist at the 2024 edie Sustainability Awards for the decarbonisation of its cleanrooms.
