At FLC, we are committed to social responsibility and transparency towards our stakeholders, including the decisions and the implemented processes, to ensure beneficial and sustainable cooperation.

Sustainability is not just about protecting the environment, it also encompasses ensuring the quality and safety of materials and processes. In the context of Quality Control and Health and Safety, sustainability can be achieved by implementing measures such as regular testing and inspections, implementing safety protocols, and using eco-friendly materials and methods in practice.

Quality Control plays a crucial role in sustainability as it ensures that materials are of high-quality and safe to use. This can be achieved by implementing strict testing procedures, conducting regular inspections, and ensuring that all materials meet or exceed industry standards.

In the context of Health and Safety, sustainability is achieved by implementing measures to protect the well-being of employees, such as providing proper training, equipment, and safety protocols. This can include measures such as regular safety drills, providing personal protective equipment, and implementing ergonomic practices to reduce the risk of injury.
