About This Report
O
ur Sustainability Reports cover the
progress of our sustainability activities
at Towngas. In addition to our vision,
mission, management and corporate
governance policies, it also details the
many aspects of our corporate social
responsibilities, from our sustainability
management systems to our
environmental, health and safety, social
and economic performance.
Produced every year, the Report gives

achievements, review our policies and
share our experiences with our diverse
stakeholders and the community,
while also gaining their comments
and feedback.
Published online, the Report provides
easy access to the widest possible
audience both economically and in an
environmentally friendly manner. A
printed summary version is also available
for anyone with limited access to
the Internet.
