Our ESG commitments

The ESG policy is an essential part of Elicit Plant’s DNA. More than a communication plan, it is an opportunity to formalize concrete actions.

Through CSR, companies voluntarily integrate environmental, social, and ethical considerations into their activities, going beyond regulatory requirements. It is a true value creation tool built on a profoundly human dynamic.
