COP 22/23 - Report - Side 41
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.
