Environment policy
It is the goal of Pressalit Group to live in harmony with our
surroundings; neighbours as well as the beautiful nature
around us.
We wish to minimize the environmental impact of our
operations and activities, with due respect to our competitiveness.
We wish to continue the development of the existing energy control system for the purpose of a still better utilization
of the purchased energy.
We commit ourselves to continual improvement in the environmental area and we commit ourselves to preventing pollution.
Pressalit Group undertakes, as a minimum, to observe all
legislative requirements within the environmental area and
furthermore observe our own requirements on production
and operation as listed below.
We include environmental as well as energy concerns as an
integral part of all major decisions concerning changes in
our activity.
• We monitor and record our energy consumption.
By replacement, modernization and adaptation of
facilities and equipment, efforts are made to reduce the
energy consumption.
• Where at all possible, potentially hazardous materials
are replaced by environmentally friendly ones.
• We search for internal and external ways to recover and
recycle waste from our production.
• The company cooperates actively with the authorities on
environmental issues.
• We wish to extend and improve collaboration with our
suppliers and subcontractors on environmental issues
concerning both process and product.
• The employees are being motivated to a high
degree of environmental awareness through training and
measurable objectives and targets.
• Pressalit A/S, being a member of Plastindustrien i
Danmark (The Danish Plastics Federation), will pursue
an environmental policy that does not contradict the
environmental policy of Plastindustrien.
