ANNUAL REPORT 2018 WorldReginfo - 214669bb-10da-4537-9c27-e8577168ade3 ANNUAL REPORT _ 2018 289 WorldReginfo - 214669bb-10da-4537-9c27-e8577168ade3 In every action, in every decision, in every gesture, we can think about our contribution to a more sustainable society by being more responsible, more fair and more balanced. By protecting natural resources and people alike. From the foundation of a development model that ensures our planet’s future. For The Navigator Company, sustainability is a part of responsible business management. It is present in our daily actions and decisions. From the forest, a natural and renewable source of raw material to paper, our final product. From a sustainability perspective, the functional solutions for producing paper from raw materials become vitally important. For this reason, The Navigator Company’s Annual Report and Accounts and the Sustainability Report 2018 were developed taking into consideration the Company’s commitment to sustainability. In this way, and following a circular economy model, we reduce and use biodegradable materials, seeking to return this medium of communication to nature with the aim of renewal. This form uses paper in perfect symbiosis with Mother Nature (source of raw material), people (everything we do must be with and for people) and technology (where science and engineering meet), as we combine research and resources with the best techniques available on the market to obtain a product of very high quality. Our Report represents an organic document. It was made with paper from sustainably managed forests, plant-based, with low-density inks, cotton fibre and biodegradable glue. If this Report were planted in the ground, it would be returned to the natural world, and the cycle would continue. papeR.LIFE.futurE WorldReginfo - 214669bb-10da-4537-9c27-e8577168ade3 WorldReginfo - 214669bb-10da-4537-9c27-e8577168ade3 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 WorldReginfo - 214669bb-10da-4537-9c27-e8577168ade3 Property of The Navigator Company WorldReginfo - 214669bb-10da-4537-9c27-e8577168ade3 WorldReginfo - 214669bb-10da-4537-9c27-e8577168ade3 4 ANNUAL REPORT _ 2018 WorldReginfo - 214669bb-10da-4537-9c27-e8577168ade3 CONTENTS 01. 07.
