Environmental issues are part of everyday activites within the Hedengren group

Welcome to read more about our environmental management system. This is a composition of our environment programme and illustrates how Hedengren takes environment into consideration in everyday work.

A lot has been achieved so far. Since 1990 Hedengren and the city of Espoo have applied a waste management plan as a basis of separation and reclamation of waste.

The cornerstones of Hedengren’s operations are quality and service. Environment is part of quality.

Our environment programme is based on the waste law.

Hedengren renewed its environment programme. The programme was updated to comply with the waste law. The purpose was, too, to enlarge knowledge among the customers of how Hedengren is handling environmental issues.

The environment programme covers the activities of the entire Hedengren Group.

One of the core aims of the environment program is to comply with the environment system of the international ISO 14001 standard. On the basis of this standard Hedengren guarantees a continuous development of actions that concern the environment.

Environmental issues concern all of us. This means that the total personnel of Hedengren is engaged in the environment system and its implementation.

The managing director of Hedengren is responsible for the environment system.

What measures have we already taken?

70% of the personnel has been trained in environmental issues.

In 1995 we stopped using our own delivery vans.

Only recyclable materials are used for packaging.

The Finnish environmental legislation was modified in 1997 when the EU directive on packaging gained legal force in Finland. In the spring of 1998 Hedengren became a member of The Environmental Register of Packaging PYR Ltd.

Hedengren participates in a nation-wide project developing recycling and recovery of electronics scrap.
