Environment and bioethics policy
We will work to continuously improve our environmental performance by setting ambitious objectives and integrating environmental and bioethical considerations in our business.
We will support a global sustainable development by developing environmentally sound solutions to meet market needs.
To meet our objectives:
-
We must all strive to reduce the environmental impact, resource usage and follow best practices for prevention of pollution. Where we have or can have significant environmental impact we will use the documented management systems to control our performance.
-
We will comply with applicable legal requirements and environmental commitments that we support.
-
We will ensure a safe handling of the micro-organisms we use based on documentation of the identity of the micro-organism and modifications and risk assessments concerning effects on human health and the environment.
-
We must always listen to the bioethical and environmental concerns of our stakeholders and respond openly.
-
We will have close relations to the communities where we operate.
-
We will cooperate with our suppliers, subcontractors, authorities, customers, partners and other stakeholders to promote a responsible environmental and bioethical behaviour.
-
We will develop new products and processes where we evaluate the environmental impact and bioethical issues - from the use of raw materials and energy to the application and disposal of the product.
-
We will report openly on our environmental performance and bioethical issues on a regular basis.
