Our initiative
The theme for World Water Day 2019 is âLeaving no one behindâ. This is an adaptation of the central promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: as sustainable development progresses,everyone must benefit.
Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) aims to ensure availability and sustainable management of water for all by 2030. By definition, this means leaving no one behind.
Condorchem Envitech is absolutely involved in the responsible management of water, as it could not be otherwise being our main activity the treatment of wastewater.
On the occasion of the celebration of World Water Day 2019, at Condorchem Envitech we have decided to remove all plastic containers and water glasses and replace them with water tetra briks.
A new sustainable measure that has come to stay and that is added to the ongoing initiatives that Condorchem Envitech has in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility.
