1) creating a positive impact socially and environmentally in its materials,
2) upholding corporate social responsibility in terms of considering its workers, its community, and the environment as well as challenging its current boundaries in those areas, and
3) reporting its activity as a company as well as its achievements in social and environmental areas by publicly using a non-partisan third party- source.
