Today, enterprises are among the most fervent supporters of environmental protection and the best proof is the existence of the term “Corporate Social Responsibility”. Sustainable Growth functions as an integral element of a company?s development, respecting ecological balance and social progress, while accepting at the same time a company?s economic growth.

It?s common sense that the climatic change influences everybody. Every institution works hard in order to solve the problem. The experts ask for the maintenance of temperature levels under the danger limit of +2°C (35.60F).
