Sustainability : our concern
We can make a positive contribution to sustainable development both through our operations and our products.
For Caleon Group, sustainability means embracing our responsibility to act as a good corporate citizen. We are continually working to reduce energy consumption from products and emissions from factories; working to ensure that our employees and business partners are treated fairly; and striving to be a good neighbour in the communities in which we operate.
In this section of the Caleon Group website, we describe how we apply the concepts of sustainability to our operations and products as well as outline how we tackle key issues affecting our business.
One of Caleon Group Objective is to match as much as possible the concept set in 1992, at Rio’s Earth Summit: “Development which meets our current needs without destroying the next generatin capacities to meets their needs”.
Caleon Group keep moving to match the ISO 14001 norm.
Global Warming
We are concerned about global warming, which poses the greatest threat to our environment today. Our industry has a role to play in this debate.
More efficient use of energy—both in products and production facilities—play an important role in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that are heating up our planet. We recognize the importance of the Kyoto Protocol, the international agreement to combat global warming.
The Caleon Group response:
- We will contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions by continually improving energy efficiency of our factories.
- We continually improve processes to cut energy use in our manufacturing.
- We support appropriate standards for product energy consumption and air emissions and advocate the use of energy labelling.
- Together with other manufacturers in Europe, we are committed to voluntary agreements on improving energy efficiency.
- Caleon Group has identified water efficiency as a cornerstone of its product development. Water efficient appliances can also help reduce energy use, by cutting the amount of energy used to treat, pump and heat water.
