By issuing this bond, which underpins an ambitious sustainability strategy, the group signals its strong commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, as well as to promoting gender equality in the workplace. We are proud to support M+ Group in its sustainability journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Darko Horvat, President of the Management Board of Meritus ulaganja, said \u201cM+ Group is strongly committed to sustainability as a crucial element of our business. As a company, we focus on people \u2013 our employees, clients and their customers. Therefore, we strive to promote equality and diversity, while minimizing our environmental impact. We already proved that by starting regular reporting on sustainability and now we are taking a step further. I am very proud of the fact we were able to pioneer the sustainability-linked bond in the Croatian market.
