Background
The world community has formulated a number of goals and focus areas in various contexts, with the common goal of creating a better world. At Altiflex, we have chosen to focus on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the UN's Global Compact. Altiflex's vision of spreading awareness of the Altiflex System and making it the natural and preferred choice for temporary closures goes hand in hand with central elements of the UN's goals for world development. The central elements that Altiflex focuses on are:
- Global Goal 9.5: Research and development must be strengthened
- Global Goal 11.6: To ensure sustainable cities and communities, the negative environmental impact per capita must be reduced
- Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production, including focusing on the efficient use of natural resources and the reduction of waste generation as well as increased recycling
- The UN Global Compact provides guidelines for responsible business conduct in the areas of human rights, labor rights, the environment and anti-corruption.
It is Altiflex's policy to contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and to responsible business operations in accordance with the UN Global Compact through a number of initiatives.
1. 1. Altiflex System – Continued investment in product development (Objective 9.5)
It is the company's policy to continuously develop, maintain and implement strategies and plans for product development with the ambition that the development will support the aforementioned global goals.
2. 2. Dissemination – Continued efforts to increase awareness of the positive environmental effects of the Altiflex System (Objective 11.6)
It is the company's policy to continuously increase decision-makers' awareness of the positive effects the Altiflex System has on the Sustainable Development Goals.
3. 3. Recycling – Continued focus on recycling of the Altiflex System at end-of-life (Goal 12)
It is the company's policy that 100% of all materials included in the Altiflex System must be recyclable at 'end-of-life,' and that the company ensures this recycling on its own rental equipment.
4. 4. Responsible business operations – Continued focus on the UN Global Compact
It is the company's policy that both suppliers and the company itself must be operated in accordance with the Global Compact. This is achieved by continuously increasing the supplier base's knowledge of the Global Compact and by gradually adapting the supplier base as well as by internal focus on the company's operations.
