Handprint, our positive impact.
Handprint refers to the positive environmental impact created by actions, initiatives, or projects. It represents the beneficial outcomes that contribute to sustainability and environmental well-being. The carbon handprint are the avoided emissions in the use phase of lubricants, like the reduction of energy consumption or friction.
