The Road to Sustainability
“Sustainability is a way of thinking: At Huma® we’ve been thinking sustainably for over 50 years.” We make that statement at the top of the Sustainability section of our Huma® Website. And we stand by it. But what, exactly, does it mean? Over the past 50 years, we at Huma® have always striven to create products that work with nature in support of the well-being of our planet and our customers and to create a working environment that supports the well-being of our staff members and their families. We were doing this long before sustainability became the “thing” that it is now.
