FAIRFIELD, Calif., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Saverglass, the world's leading manufacturer specializing in the production and decoration of luxury and high-end glass bottles for the wine and spirits industry, today released its advancements in its sustainability roadmap, underscoring the company's unwavering commitment to addressing climate change within the wine and spirits glass bottle packaging sector.
Saverglass' progress is detailed in the "Saverglass Corporate Social Responsibility Report (CSR) 2022-2023."
