At ASCOTEC, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint as part of our Decarbon’Action initiative. This project aims to systematically identify and lower our greenhouse gas emissions throughout our value chain. We are implementing energy-efficient practices, optimizing our logistics, and investing in cleaner technologies to actively cut down on emissions. Through these efforts, we strive not only to meet but exceed industry standards, contributing to a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
ASCOTEC believes in understanding the environmental impact of our products from the very beginning to the end of their life cycle. That’s why we conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for our key offerings. This rigorous analysis helps us evaluate the ecological footprint of each product, considering raw material extraction, production, distribution, use, and disposal. With these insights, we can make informed decisions to reduce waste, enhance product design, and select greener alternatives, ensuring our commitment to sustainability is reflected in every stage of our business.
Our dedication to environmental management is underlined by our pursuit of ISO 14001 certification, the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems. At ASCOTEC, we have implemented a robust framework that helps us systematically manage our environmental responsibilities. Achieving this certification demonstrates our commitment to reducing waste, minimizing our environmental impact, and continually improving our practices to align with the highest standards of environmental excellence.
