Our environmental initiatives focus on minimizing our negative impact both locally and globally, while at the same time enhancing our competitiveness. All sites have implemented environmental management system to systematically manage our operations. All management systems are certified by ISO 14001, which means we follow international standards for environmental management and have integrated environmental systems throughout our entire business.
During 2024 we also updated our environmental policy that applies to all aspects of Suzuki Garphyttans global operations and form the basis for our objectives and actions, ensuring a structured and systematic approach to environmental considerations. The policy also covers our efforts to influence and collaborate with other actors in our value chain, though it does not cover their operations. We want to develop and selling products with minimal carbon and ecological footprints and are committed to continuous improvement by regularly assessing our compliance with internal or external environmental initiatives, standards or objectives. To achieve this, we actively collaborate with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders to reduce the footprint through the entire life cycle. Each site sets its own environmental targets in line with the company’s objectives by adapting them to local conditions. Environmental factors are carefully considered in product development and manufacturing processes.
Providing knowledge
We recognize that our employees play a crucial role in achieving our environmental objectives. By investing in our employees and actively involving them in our sustainability journey we are committed to achieving our long-term environmental objectives. Sustainable development is about seeing the whole picture. For us, it’s about how we can reduce environmental impacts when producing with steel which can be recycled time and time again. But it’s also about reviewing other parts of the value chain and collaborating with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders regarding challenges that affect us all. We therefore prioritize working with partners who can help us achieve the lowest possible climate and environmental impact for our products and provide verifiable data that supports their efforts. Going forward, the entire value chain´s impact will be considered in the assessment of the products impact, requiring closer cooperation throughout the value chain.
