Some of these projects include a circular economy, measures to improve operations, structure, and incentives for electrification. Among them are initiatives such as the installation of solar power plants and the use of natural lighting.
The Osten Group Works with a Reverse Logistics Policy for Maximum Waste Reuse
At the company, there is a reverse logistics policy aimed at maximizing the reuse of waste, such as used oil for refining, batteries, and tires for recycling. The Osten Group also employs a practice aimed at capturing rainwater for reuse and conscious consumption.
The Osten Group also maintains a relationship with the Inovar Sustentável Institute for the use of recycled materials from uniforms in the production of new products. These products include thermal bags, shopping bags, and a variety of other items.
On the social front, it offers internal programs for talent management and diversity, training employees in various areas and carrying out charitable actions with underprivileged institutions.
Electrification is also part of the Osten Group’s scope of action. The company recently completed the installation of 15 free charging points for electric vehicles in the regions of São Paulo, Baixada Santista, and Vale do Paraíba. The organization aims to have 25 points installed by the end of 2022.
