Having an external and well respected player stating this is an appreciation for all our efforts. And we will certainly continue with that," said Gert Frederiks, CEO, Teijin Aramid.

The annual reporting is done in four sections: environment, working conditions, fair business processes, and sustainable procurement. The results show that Teijin Aramid belongs to the top 2 per cent of all suppliers in the synthetic fibre production category and to the top 1 per cent of suppliers in all categories. (RR)
