ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

As an environmentally conscious company, we acknowledge the potential environmental impact of our operations. To respect the environmental values, our top management has announced that our environmental management system should be communicated, understood, implemented and maintained at all levels throughout the organization.

According to this policy, we commit to

Operating in compliance with environmental regulations, rules and obligations
Providing employees and other stakeholders support, guidance and encouragement to fulfil environmental requirements
Integrating our environmental management system into all our business processes
Protecting the environment, preventing pollution and meeting other relevant aspects of environmentally sound operation
Minimizing landfilling by reducing the waste generation and by segregating and recycling waste wherever economically and operationally feasible
Increasing energy efficiency
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions
Considering the environment in the procurement of goods and services
Supporting environmentally responsible management and leadership

Support for the green values

To reduce the potential environmental impact we pay special attention to the following significant environmental aspects :

Chemicals, e.g. paint and solvent consumption
Energy consumption
CO₂ emission

Targets

From the list of significant environmental aspects two aspects, energy and CO₂emission, have targets for 2019, 2020 with 2017 as baseline. The other significant aspects are (constantly) evaluated with the goal to mitigate environmental impact.

In addition to that, we also develop solutions that help our customers to reduce energy and C0₂ emission. The CycloneConcept is an excellent example of our solution that increases the “green energy” in our customer’s application.

The EcoVadis Bronze medal places us in the top 35%
of all companies assessed by EcoVadis.
