Environment



Environment policy

It is the goal of Pressalit 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 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.

Environmental regulation

Pressalit is subject to the approval obligation laid down in
part 5 of the Danish Environmental Protection Act. I.e. we
have an environmental approval and a sewage discharge
authorization setting out the main frames (conditions) for
our production site.
Supervisory authority is Skanderborg Municipality.

Environment and quality management

In 1993, Pressalit obtained the Quality Certificate of Approval, ISO 9001. Four years later we obtained the Environmental Certificate of Approval, ISO 14001. The Environment and Quality Management Systems contribute to concretizing issues such as care, precision and consideration, which are the basis for Pressalit's doings and actions.



Working environment

Safety issues have always had a high priority at Pressalit. We have a documented policy for working environment and a formalized procedure for the health andsafety work. In the day-to-day running, we work closely together with employees' health service (Bedriftssundhedstjenesten ) and the Danish Working Environment Autority (Arbejdstilsynet ), with whom we maintain an open and fruitful dialogue. Furthermore we have a well-functioning health & safety organisation, which - in addition to attending to day-to-day responsibilities, discuss relevant issues every three months.
