The main focus of the strategy is to integrate sustainability into all aspects of our systems and decision-making processes. RECARO must not only implement innovation solutions that minimize our carbon footprint, but also inspire others to join us in our journey towards a more sustainable future.
We have heavily invested in research to identify new solutions that improve the efficiency of every flight, implemented state-of-the-art energy practices at our manufacturing sites, and encourage our employees and suppliers to embrace green living.
Practicing environmental responsibility has long been steeped in the history of RECARO, and is a challenge we have to face head-on. The only way forward is by working together and setting a new environmental standard for the industry, and that is exactly what we aim to accomplish at RECARO.
