Our heritage colours who we are

We carry out our sustainability reporting in accordance with the GHG Protocol. Together, we have mapped the entirety of Scope 1, 2 and 3. Based on the data collected, change projects are prioritised and continuously driven at the factory to reduce the carbon footprint.

Because the raw materials and processes are, to such a large extent, harmless to the environment from the outset, there is no need for advanced chemical treatment facilities with flue-gas filters or similar in the manufacturing process.

The factory places strong focus on reducing energy consumption both among suppliers and in its own production. Much of the energy used, including for printing and drying, is recovered through heat exchange and used to heat the premises.

To take even better care of nature and the surrounding environment, the factory has built its very own water treatment plant. Here, all paint residues are separated from the process wastewater so that only clean, controlled water is discharged into the municipal sewer system for final treatment. All emissions are measured and monitored, and remain below all current limit values. We also place great focus on minimising water consumption and reusing as much as possible.

The factory works systematically with continuous improvements in order to streamline production and minimise waste and residual waste. Waste that cannot be recirculated is recovered as heat and energy in the municipal district heating plant, thereby replacing the need for other fossil fuels.
