Environmental, Social, and Governance
Valence Surface Technologies and its business entities (“Valence”) strongly believe in the significance of an environmental, social, and corporate governance (“ESG”) program. We aspire to be responsible corporate citizens and believe that transparency and accountability are important foundations for creating value and building trust with our stakeholders to fulfill our long-term mission, vision and strategy. We have identified the ESG considerations relevant to our business and integrated them into our business practices to ensure that risk factors and opportunities are considered on a continuous basis. These ESG initiatives are designed to augment the environmental and social impact of our business practices.
