INBO follows a multi-year Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy and has set an ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2025. Furthermore, the company places great emphasis on diversity and inclusion, providing equal opportunities and resources to all employees regardless of gender, origin, or religion.
