We strive to reduce our impact on the environment throughout the full value chain from the raw materials we select to the way we run our operations to developing customer solutions as in the SKF BeyondZero portfolio.”

With this certification, the Ahmedabad plant opens another page in the journey of sustainability for SKF in India," said Shishir Joshipura, Managing Director and Country Head, SKF in India.
