Social responsibility is not just about how we approach business today. It is primarily about the impact we will have on the environment in the future. That’s why we regularly implement projects that contribute to the greening of production and reduce the impact on nature and people in our region. An integral part of this process is compliance with environmental management standards and regulations, which is confirmed by certificates.
ISO 14001
ent systems. It helps us to identify and better regulate the impact of our activities on the environment. It means we can take systematic steps to improve our environmental profile – for example, by using resources more efficiently or by integrating environmental management into our corporate strategy.
The ISO 14001 certificate is also integrated, for example, in Chemosvit Folie, our subsidiary producing packaging films, or Chemosvit Strojchem, the subsidiary which focuses on engineering activities.
OEKO TEX®STANDARD 100
This certificate identifies textiles that have been tested for the presence of harmful substances and thus comply with strict international criteria for quality and health safety at all stages of production. As a result, end customers can be sure that no part of the garment contains substances that could adversely affect their health.
PROLEN® yarn from Chemosvit Fibrochem has this certification and therefore meets the strict requirements for children’s clothing production. Many renowned sports brands, such as Nike and The North Face, use this yarn.
ISCC PLUS
The internationally recognised ISCC PLUS certificate covers the processing of sustainable – biological or circular (recycled) – materials for various sectors. It provides proof of the origin of the raw material and simplifies its traceability at every step of the supply chain.
Among our subsidiaries, Chemosvit Folie, which also uses PCR and PIR recyclates in its packaging solutions, holds this certificate. An example is the group packaging of toilet paper made from both types of recyclate.
These are just some of the certificates that show we really care about protecting the environment.
