Sustainability
We are committed to integrate sustainability and ESG criteria in our business
With the aim of onboarding sustainability across business management, Fluidra has developed its second ESG Plan “Responsibility Blueprint 2020-2026” defining the core lines to work on around Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues.
Fluidra has an ESG Policy covering all our commitments in different sustainability matters across all our business areas and where the ESG Plan develops the different action plans to ensure they all work to deliver on the proposed goals.
