What is PACT?

PACT is ADA’s ESG program. It is a movement towards promoting sustainable and ethical business practices. Through this innovative initiative, PACT and its partners are not just contributing to global ESG standards – they’re reshaping them. Join us as we define what it means to do business in the 21st century!

  • Planet Planet

    Within our PACT program, we place a strong focus on environmental sustainability. We’re dedicated to reducing our ecological footprint by implementing conscious programs into our procedures. From end-of-life programs for our products through to circularity, minimising waste and championing the use of renewable resources. We firmly believe that businesses have a crucial role in tackling climate change and safeguarding our planet for future generations.

    Our social responsibility pillar within PACT is centred around creating a positive impact on our employees, customers and broader communities. We drive to cultivate an inclusive, diverse and respectful work environment where everyone is treated equitably. Additionally, we aim to make a significant contribution to the communities in which we operate through philanthropic endeavours and active community engagement. Our goal is to make a lasting social impact that extends beyond our day-to-day business operations.
