Sustainability
Sustainability is part of Politek's working principles. The sustainability contributions we provide with our products and services are fundamental to our success in terms of environmental and social performance.
One of the cornerstones of Politek’s approach to sustainability is the ISO 14001 environmental management certification.
We continuously improve our processes to minimize the environmental impact of our facilities. In addition to our own sustainability goals, we also support our customers' objectives by increasing productivity and reducing emissions, energy consumption, and waste.
We embrace our responsibility to identify and offer solutions that will create a more sustainable environment and business.
- We are committed to reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from our operations, normalized to production, by 10% by 2030.
- We aim to reduce our solvent recycling production use and manufacturing waste ratios by 15% by 2030 to lower normal process waste, normalized to production.
- We are determined to continuously improve water management, with a goal of reducing water usage, normalized to production, by 10% by 2030.
- Increase the percentage of net sales from products, services, and tools that offer sustainability benefits to our customers, markets, and communities by at least 20%.
- Ensure that 80% of new technology and innovation developments provide a sustainability benefit.
- While accident and injury rates remain high globally, we are consistently progressing toward zero injuries.
- We conduct annual employee satisfaction surveys to continuously enhance the supportive environments that provide security for our employees.
The working principles based on integrity, trust, and participation, which form the core of Politek's corporate culture, create and maintain an environment where all our employees can thrive.
