Environmental Management

The purpose of working towards environmental goals is to reduce the Group’s negative impact on the environment. This work is based on an environmental management system that involves every operational level in the Group.

Gunnebo’s overriding environmental goals are based on knowledge of each individual business’ environmental impact, which is mainly acquired through the Group’s environmental management systems. The goals describe the areas in which the Group’s environmental performance should primarily be improved. Gunnebo’s overriding environmental goals were set in 2009. They have been evaluated in 2012 and will be extended to 2013.

Environmental Goal 1

Environmental Goal 2
Make efficient use of raw materials and natural resources

Environmental Goal 3
Maintain effective sorting-at-source and recycling of materials to enable Gunnebo to minimise the amount of non-recycled waste

Environmental Goal 4
Further develop Gunnebo’s strategy for product development, so that the Group takes environmental aspects, such as energy consumption and the use of natural resources, into consideration throughout the entire life cycle of a product
