Abloy oy environmental review 2017
PRINCIPLES Highest quality = Long product life cycle = Smallest environmental impact
PRINCIPLES Highest quality = Long product life cycle = Smallest environmental impact Environmentally-sound production is a central consideration in our operational policies. Our development work on product durability and minimizing environmental impact are tightly linked - as high-quality products best suited to their intended use have a long service life, the environmental effects resulting from their manufacture occur less often. Our factory operations are controlled by environmental and chemical permits. Specific requirements include continuous monitoring and reporting and a riskmanagement system.
ENERGY 2013 7,0 2016 2014 6,5 6,7 2015 6,0 MWh per manufactured tonne
ENERGY / targets 2016 2017 FAVOURING LOW-CARBON ENERGY SOURCES In the summer of 2013, we switched to Savon Voima s carbon neutral electricity generated using wind power, hydropower and biomass.
ENERGY / targets 2016 2017 6 % TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY 6 % IN 2017 COMPARED TO 2016 Producing compressed air currently accounts for 10 % of the electricity we use. By repairing leaks in compressed air equipment in a more systematic manner, we are significantly reducing our electricity consumption. We are also installing new lighting technology and paying attention to heating and reducing the idle running of the machines.
WATER CONSUMPTION 2016 2013 5,6 2014 2015 5,7 5,7 6,9 m 3 PER MANUFACTURED TONNE
water CONSUMPTION / targets 2016 2017 TO REDUCE WATER CONSUMPTION TO 2015 LEVELS IN 2017 Water consumption can be reduced when more accurate information about actual usage is available. New water meters installed at the Abloy Joensuu factory in 2013 and 2015 and Björkboda factory in 2016 are enabling us to monitor water consumption closely. Metering will be increasingly focused on different functions.
LANDFILL WASTE 2013 2014 9,2 6, 1 2015 0, 9 2016 0,3 kg PER MANUFACTURED TONNE
LANDFILL WASTE / TARGETS 2016 2017 TO PRODUCE ZERO WASTE TO LANDFILL IN 2017 The amounts of landfill waste and hazardous waste we produce are being reduced through training, and by making it easier to sort waste inside our factories. Compared to 2013, almost 9 kg less landfill waste is now being generated per tonne of ABLOY products manufactured. Joensuu factory is landfill-free. We are aiming for landfill-free Abloy.
CHEMICALS
CHEMICALS Installed in 2010, our new surfacetreatment facility at Joensuu is among the most advanced in terms of the safe use of chemicals. Surface treatment requires chemicals that can, if handled incorrectly, endanger health and the environment. We have chosen to replace surface-treatment chemicals with less-hazardous alternatives, and to make operation safer by renewing the equipment used when handling chemicals.
CHEMICALS / targets 2016 2017 MAKING THE USE OF CHEMICALS SAFER Chemicals which are hazardous but essential to our processes are used as little as possible. Associated risks are minimized by the regular servicing of equipment, by providing personnel with continuous training, and through safety drills.
STANDARDS ISO 9001 ISO 14001 OHSAS 18001 Our operations are based on certified quality, environmental, and health and safety systems, with the central element being a commitment to continuous improvement. Authorized ABLOY locksmiths are involved in our quality system and certified in accordance with the ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 standards.
STANDARds The products we manufacture comply with the regulations in the RoHS II directive and REACH. REACH SoHs The RoHS directive limits the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. REACH is an EU regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals.
STANDARDs LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Our lifecycle-oriented approach underwrites the environmental impact of our products all the way from the sourcing of raw materials to the time when usage ends.
STANDARDs WEEE Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Producer Responsibility means that, as a manufacturer, we are obliged to make arrangements for the systematic reuse or recycling of products we supply to the market, including any resulting waste, and to cover related costs. The electrical and electronic products we deliver to the market are reported on a quarterly basis. Collection and recycling is handled by Elker Ltd.
