Sustainability

Ateko will align its purchasing decisions with its commitment to protect the environment. We will purchase environmentally preferred products and services to the greatest extent practical to ensure that purchasing decisions achieve best value, and that preference will be given to the purchase of goods and services that have a less adverse impact on human health and the environment. This is to be practiced wherever environmentally preferred products and services perform satisfactorily and are available at a reasonable cost.

Ateko represents that it does not, and warrants and covenants that it will not, engage in unethical labor practices, including human trafficking, slavery or the use of child or forced labor, and that it will take steps to ensure that its suppliers and subcontractors do not engage in such practices.
