In collaboration with SOS Children’s Villages India, Metso supports children, ensuring they can thrive in a safe and loving environment.

The initiative also fosters environmental awareness in schools through eco clubs, sustainability campaigns, and educational programs based on the principles of “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle”.
