Our Commitment to
building a better future

Through this commitment, we will embrace ten universal principles covering human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. We will also be helping to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), eigth of which will play a central role in shaping our company’s efforts to create a fairer and more sustainable world.

Thierry Bitout
CEO of TUBEX Aluminium Tubes

I am extremely proud that TUBEX Aluminium Tubes is joining the UN Global Compact. By becoming a participant, we are standing shoulder to shoulder with over 11,000 other companies worldwide that have aligned their strategies and operations with the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. As a company, we understand that we don’t operate in a vacuum and that business success is not all that matters; we also have to take care of our workers, our communities, and the planet. With the UN Global Compact, we have found a strong framework for our CSR efforts and a powerful engine for action towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

Environment
Protecting the beauty of our planet

Our respect for the planet’s natural habitats is reflected in a deep commitment to conserving resources and reducing pollution. Every TUBEX Aluminium Tubes employee plays a role in consistently improving our environmental performance. We recognise that our supply chain, processes and products have both direct and indirect environmental impacts. Our aim is to identify them and find effective ways of eliminating or reducing them.

Driving the circular economy through innovation

Our Blue Tube range is a new kind of packaging for a world that is reassessing its relationship with resources and nature. The tubes maximize the use of recycled aluminium, minimize the use of materials, and give consumers the environmentally conscious packaging that they are increasingly seeking out. Created using an innovative and future-focused eco-design approach, the Blue Tube brand significantly cuts CO2 emissions and helps to drive the circular economy. This reflects our belief that growth must always go hand in hand with responsibility.
