We have introduced separate waste collection at all of our sites as part of our sustainable development program, and we are working to encourage environment-friendly work practices among our staff and building users. We already held a number of successful actions to collect waste for recycling and we are now offering to accept and recycle equipment and gadgets that are hard to dispose of.”
