In line with the ISO standard’s concept of continuous improvement, we are making continuous efforts to improve our environmental performance. This we achieve, not so much through big projects, but rather through a thousand smaller, individual improvement projects, which together have a huge effect on InfoTechE’s overall performance.

To foster initiatives which lead to significant improvements in performance, we have introduced an Environmental Management Awards scheme to get all employees involved in environmental matters. In 2001, seven winners equally shared the prize money of US$ 30,000.

To provide customers with the information they need to choose more sustainable solutions to their needs, InfoTechE has pioneered the Cleaner Production Declarations for its core products. These describe and quantify the environmental performance of a product over its complete life cycle.

These declarations are also used by InfoTechE’s designers to improve the eco-efficiency of our products, enhancing their direct and indirect contribution to lower environmental impacts.

InfoTechE applies the same principles to its main suppliers as it does to itself. We favor suppliers who are certified to ISO 14001 or its equivalent, and we evaluate and select major suppliers on their ability to meet the requirements of InfoTechE’s social policy.
