He said sustainable development is an integral part of Walton’s business strategy and that the company has been adopting environmentally responsible technologies and policies across its manufacturing processes and workplaces.
According to Ali, Walton has reduced carbon emissions through the use of renewable energy at its manufacturing facilities and the adoption of green technologies in production processes. The company has also introduced technology-driven safety management systems and regular training programmes to improve employee awareness and workplace safety.
Walton said it is also focusing on energy efficiency, green technologies and environmentally friendly materials in the development of sustainable products.
