Replacing Single-Use Bottles

A Symbolic and Meaningful Gesture

This change marks an important step in our overall sustainability approach. By adopting more environmentally friendly practices, we are actively doing our part for a more responsible future. This initiative is part of a broader series of actions aimed at integrating eco-conscious practices into every aspect of our operations.
