Our commitment to Sustainability

Milantoast believes that true Corporate Social Responsibility consists first and foremost of carrying out one’s own activities with care: producing economic value, creating products that are good for people, and valuing people’s work.

Because of this, we actively invest in 5 key areas of what we believe to be a broader concept of sustainability that is an integral part of our business model and our strategy for growth and value creation:
