Quality & Social Responsibility

ABOUT CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the continuing commitment to behave responsibly by integrating social and environmental concerns into business operations. CSR goes beyond regulatory compliance to focus on how companies manage their economic, social, and environmental impacts, as well as their relationships with stakeholders (e.g. employees, suppliers, government). ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT The EcoVadis methodology framework assesses the policies and measures put in place as well as the reporting published by companies with regards to environmental, labor practices & human rights, fair business practices and sustainable procurement issues. The assessment conducted by CSR experts is made on the basis of the company answers to a survey which is dynamically adapted to their country, sector and size, on the basis of supporting documentation, and on public and stakeholder (NGOs, trade unions, press) information. ABOUT ECOVADIS EcoVadis operates the 1st collaborative platform allowing companies to assess the environmental and social performance of their suppliers on a global basis. EcoVadis combines technology and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expertise to deliver simple and reliable supplier scorecards, covering 150 purchasing categories and 21 CSR criteria.

Cable Tie UV Stable Flexible Staramide Grades for Cable Tie

Eurostar introduced a Staramide range of UV stabilized enhanced flexible grades in Nylon 6, 66, 12. With varying flexibility and impact. These grades find use mainly in cable ties of various specifications. High flow grades are used for multi-cavity molding. Flexural Modulus is available as low as 250 Mpa.

By using this information as a guide, the user will be better equipped to select the best suited cable tie and material to perform its intended function over a long period of time. For long life and dependable service, there are many factors to consider when selecting the proper cable tie for each application. combinations of conditions which may arise, it is suggested that this data be used as a guide. Sample cable ties should be tested under actual end-use conditions to determine the correct cable tie for the application.

EUROSTAR ENGINEERING PLASTICS IS LAUNCHING NEW “ECR”COMPOUNDS

E2P has recently introduced “ECR” range, a new family of thermoplastics compounds showing a reduced carbon footprint. These new

green compounds are based on 100 % recycled reinforcing agents or renewable fillers and have been designed to meet stringent

application requirements with no performance compromise versus traditional fillers, they offer as well a cost effective solution while

meeting the demand of using environmental friendly and sustainable materials in end user applications.

ECR compounds contain at least 20 % of recycled reinforcing agent or recycled fillers including Glass Bead or Renewable Mineral Filler

and are primarily available in PP and PA resins. Although first grades are commercially available, new compounds can be tailor made to

meet specific customer requirements (including new resins, new reinforcing agent and mix thereof).

PP 30% Bamboo Fibers

PP 30 % Bamboo Fibers

Green Compound based on Bamboo fibers have been selected due to their outstanding mechanical properties profile versus standard natural fibers. Bamboo prodigious growth is not competing with food agriculture. A bamboo forest absorbs 4 times more CO2 than an equivalent wood forest and produces 35 % more oxygen. This outstanding quality should be added to an already excellent global carbon assessment.

32

Based on Oyster Shell offering an unique source of renewable

mineral fillers. This new family of environmentally friendly filler

avoid the disadvantages of standard mining process such as

natural resources depletion, high energy consumption.

Furthermore they participate to landfill reduction by recycling.

Back-Up

Overview of the UN Global Compact The UN Global Compact is a strategic policy initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. By doing so, business, as a primary driver of globalization, can help ensure that markets, commerce, technology and finance advance in ways that benefit economies and societies everywhere. As social, political and economic challenges (and opportunities) — whether occurring at home or in other regions — affect business more than ever before, many companies recognize the need to collaborate and partner with governments, civil society, labour and the United Nations. This ever-increasing understanding is reflected in the Global Compact's rapid growth. With over 8700 corporate participants and other stakeholders from over 130 countries, it is the largest voluntary corporate responsibility initiative in the world. Endorsed by chief executives, the Global Compact is a practical framework for the development, implementation, and disclosure of sustainability policies and practices, offering participants a wide spectrum of workstreams, management tools and resources — all designed to help advance sustainable business models and markets
