Imagine a company deciding to redefine its business practices to ensure not only commercial success but also a sustainable future. This is exactly what Alufinish has done. Our journey did not begin with a simple desire to comply with legislation. It began with a vision: to become an environmentally conscious company that takes responsibility and makes a positive contribution to the world.
The centrepiece of our journey: A well thought-out environmental management system
Our environmental management system (EMS) is not just a standard tool – it is at the heart of our strategy for sustainable success. It helps us to recognise and manage the significant environmental aspects and impacts of our products and services. This is not just about complying with legal regulations, but about achieving a higher goal: comprehensive environmentally conscious corporate management.
Accepting challenges: Identifying improvement possibility and realising savings
Our story begins with the discovery of improvement possibility and potential savings. We asked ourselves: Where can we use energy and raw materials more efficiently? How can we avoid environmental damage and accidents? Through a structured approach and targeted measures, we have found solutions that not only improve our environmental footprint, but also strengthen our competitiveness. We actively promote the environmental awareness of our employees and motivate them to work together towards our vision.
Integration for excellence: quality meets environmental awareness
Over the years, we have continuously adapted the requirements for environmental standards. The integration of DIN EN ISO 14001 standards into our existing quality management system was a decisive step in year 2006. This led to the creation of an integrated management system (IMS) that combines quality, environmental and safety management. This system enables us to identify, document and continuously improve environmentally relevant processes.
Our company policy: a guide to sustainable development
Our company policy is more than just a document – it is our guideline. It defines the framework within which we set and evaluate environmental targets. Our approach to environmentally friendly product development, the careful use of resources and the avoidance of waste are not mere obligations, but a lived practice. Through regular training and compliance with all legal regulations, we demonstrate that we take responsibility and want to shape a sustainable future.
Implementation – from vision to reality
Implementing our company policy requires more than just words. We have formulated clear environmental goals that are measurable and regularly reviewed. Our employees are not only informed, but also actively involved in the realisation of our goals. We have ensured that all the necessary resources – from expertise to technical means – are available to realise our vision.
Continuous improvement: the journey is the reward
Our commitment does not end with implementation. Continuous improvement is a key component of our environmental management system. Our environmental performance is reviewed through regular internal and external audits and a detailed management review. We use the results to make adjustments and ensure that we are always on track to achieve our environmental goals.
Looking ahead: Alufinish on the road to sustainability
Alufinish is proud of what we have achieved so far, but we are not resting on our laurels. Our journey is far from over. With a clear view to the future and a firm commitment to sustainable business practices, we continue to set standards in the industry. We are convinced that our environmental management system not only secures our own future, but also makes a positive contribution to the world in which we live and work.
