UN GLOBAL COMPACT ENVIROMENTAL PRINCIPLE
PRECAUTIONARY APPROACH TO ENVIRONMENTAL
CHALLENGES:
In our Business Partner Code of Conduct we ask our partners to, at a minimum,
comply with applicable laws and regulations for environmental protection.
When choosing future partners we will further be looking into their overall
environmental focus and whether they in general promote responsible environmental management, -policies and –procedures, such as developing sustainable
product and process alternatives.
However, we find that transparent knowledge sharing with educational institutes
and business network is what makes HORN and the industry in general act
stronger towards environmental challenges.
INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL
RESPONSIBILITY:
HORN has initiated several product development processes to increase product
and process sustainability. We work with both designers and industrial technicians to improve and/or exchange input material, and engage deeply in network focused in establishing on how we can prolong product lifetime. In similar
matters, we will continue to seek implementation of our sustainable solutions,
through relevant projects that have a focus on communicating the specific benefits of living more sustainable - Both in private homes and in various industrial
buildings.
DEVELOPMENT AND DIFFUSION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGIES:
We have initiated a comprehensive measurement of our impact
throughout the value chain. We are using a measurement tool which we deem
as ‘best available technology’ within the industry, based on the following selection parameters: Measurement accuracy and relevance for the industry, to ensure
a comparable and relevant development.
