Sustainability
Sustainable development is development that connects with the needs of today without endangering the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, according to the definition of the UN Brundtland commission in 1987. Sustainable entrepreneurship actually has an environmental background.
Environment
With the introduction of iso 14001, the environmental management system, Oerlemans Plastics shows that it wishes to devote a great deal of attention to the environment. We are aware that there is a connection between our activities and the burden on the environment. This is why we wish to take the effort to limit this burden as much as possible.Within the companies of OPACKGROUP we all use renewable energy.
Oerlemans Plastics has been ISO 14001 with CO2 reduction-management certified since 2007. An important part of ISO 14001 is compliance with laws and regulations. This means that we work in accordance with permit regulations. Several examples of this are that we make effective use of our raw materials and energy. This is constantly monitored and action is taken where necessary. An annual report is drawn up on all environmental issues. We strive to minimise the use of environmentally unfriendly substances as much as possible. The safety standards for these substances are also followed meticulously.
