Stüken’s Environmental
Policy
Stüken’s core competence, deep-drawing technology, is characterised by the use of substantially less raw material as compared
to other metal fabrication processes. Our deep draw technology alone contributes
to the protection of our environment.
In addition, Stueken’s
business philosophy and operating principles demand the responsible and
economic handling of all raw materials and resources. In accordance with these
principles we view the application of operational environmental controls and
industrial safety practices as high priority items within our company and in
this regard, confirm that our environmental management system is in accordance
with ISO 14001.
Environmental protection is
viewed as the responsibility of each employee. We push for their continuous
improvement with on-going training and the disposition of related environmental
information.
We understand our company’s
legal obligations with regard to the environment and industrial safety and we
are consistently in compliance with all requirements.
We ensure the conservation of
all natural resources, with particular attention to the use of water, energy
and raw materials. Our products,
processes and procedures are evaluated
to consider any risk to the environmental or industrial safety. We
perform risk assessment analysis and develop goals and metrics to ensure the
protection of our employees and the environment.
We continuously seek
replacement alternatives for any materials judged to be dangerous and also work
to reduce the volume of waste materials generated in our facility. Materials that can be recycled are handled in
accordance with ecologically sound practices.
We have developed both
preventative as well as emergency situation plans to deal with any dangerous
situation.
Together with our customers
and suppliers we examine possibilities for environmentally friendly product
designs, recycling activities and disposal as well as packing and transport.
We inform service providers and
sub-contractors working in our factories about Stueken’s environmental policy
and include them in our environmental management efforts.
