As an international Group, Lindab has a responsibility for the environment and pursues consistent work in the environmental field. The company strives to minimize the consumption of resources in the form of raw materials, energy and transport.
Lindab is working actively to minimise the environmental impact caused by the company's operations and its products. The company's focus on product development and continuous improvement had led to products that are good, not just in quality and in terms of the environment, but also that help customers improve their own environmental performance.
An important part of creating structured environmental work is the environmental management standard ISO 14001.
At the end of 2008, about 40 percent of the Group's subsidiaries were certified, which means that more than half of the company's employees are working in an environmentally certified factory.
The Lindab Groups environmental policy focuses of four core areas; Environmental concerns, Products, Manufacturing and Communication. In short this means:
- We evaluate our environmental impact and set targets for continual improvements.
- The products are developed based on a life cycle perspective with the goal of minimising resource and energy utilisation as well as negative environmental effects.
- The larger production units are certified in accordance with ISO 14001. More companies will be certified in the future.
- The environmental work is communicated both internally and externally, with the aim of creating understanding and commitment.
