Sustainability is part of Politek's working principle. Our sustainability contributions through our products and services are fundamental to our success as an environmental and social performance.
One of the cornerstones of Politek's approach to sustainability is the ISO 14001 environmental management certification.
We strive to continuously improve our processes to minimize the environmental impact of our facilities. We support not only our own sustainability goals but also those of our customers by increasing productivity and reducing emissions, energy use and waste.
We embrace our responsibility to identify and deliver solutions that will produce a more sustainable environment and business.
• We have a commitment to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from our operations by 10% normalized by production by 2030.
• By 2030, we aim to reduce our solvent recycling production utilization and production waste rates by 15% normalized to production to reduce process waste.
• We are committed to continuous improvement in water management with a target to reduce water use by 10% by 2030, which is normalized to production.
• We are committed to increasing the percentage of net sales derived from products, services and tools that deliver sustainability benefits to our customers, markets and communities by at least 20%.
• 80% of new technology and innovation developments deliver sustainability benefits.
• While accident and injury rates are high worldwide, we are constantly moving towards zero injuries.
• We contribute every year to further increase the trustworthy environment for our employees by conducting our employee satisfaction surveys annually.
The working principle based on honesty, trust and participation, which forms the center of Politek's corporate culture, enables us to create and maintain an environment where all our employees can develop.
