Corus sustainablility statements

The tools provided can be used to address many of the questions that you may get asked about the sustainable credentials of your supplier. The following statements can be presented to demonstrate the Corus approach sustainability credentials, or to consider alternative suppliers against. More detailed statements are available from the Colorcoat Connection® helpline.
