Travertine Company Ltd. (TRAVCO) -which is specialized in the production of different sizes of tiles and slabs of Travertine, Karaki, Hallabat and Ajlouni stones- considers the protection of environment among the top of its priorities, and from that standpoint it opted to integrate it throughout all the various aspects of its operations.

- Rehabilitation measures will be taken, from time to time, before the relinquishment of areas within the Mining Right area, as may be necessary.
The above objectives will be regularly audited in order to monitor TRAVCO achievements with its commitments towards pollution prevention and continued improvement of its performance.
