Quality and environmental policy

The production of iron and aluminium cast componentas has an environmental impact. Componenta takes responsibility for the environment and aims to make its production methods and processes increasingly environmentally friendly and minimize the environmental impact of its products throughout their life cycle. 

We promote awareness of customer and statutory requirements throughout the organization. We monitor customer satisfaction and aim at continuous improvement in this. We maintain a management system that supports personnel in complying with the instructions of the quality and environmental management system, in taking responsibility, and in committing themselves to quality and environmental aspects and to continuous improvement of these.

Each employee is responsible in all their work for complying with internal, customer and other external as well as, legal requirements in a way that benefits the environment.

Each Componenta unit maintains its own environmental management system and identifies its own environmental aspects. When setting their environmental targets and in their reviews, the production units address at least the following environmental aspects:

• reducing consumption of energy and raw materials
• reducing particle and VOC emissions
• reducing the level of ambient noise caused by business operations
• enhancing the sorting of waste
• reducing the amount of non-recyclable waste.

At corporate level we ensure that production units have sufficient resources to achieve their environmental targets, maintain their competitiveness and develop their manufacturing processes. One requirement for approving major investments is an environmental impact assessment.

The Group requires each production unit to have third-party certified quality and environmental management systems. In addition foundry and forge operations require an environmental permit.
