Environment, Health and Safety Policy

Trelleborg’s environment, health and safety policy focuses on five core areas: Environmental Management, Energy and Material, Health and Safety, Development of Products and Processes and Stakeholder Relations.

Within these areas, Group-wide objectives have been established that entail that:

• All production or product development units within the Group shall be covered by a certified environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001. Newly acquired units must implement such a system within three years following acquisition.
• All production units shall prepare energy-saving plans.
• The proportion of recovered waste at Group level shall increase by 25 percent at the end of 2009.
• The Group’s program to reduce the number of work-related injuries, Safety@Work, shall be introduced at all plants and annual internal and external reviews shall be conducted.
• Common criteria for assessing chemicals shall be prepared, with due consideration given to the environment, health and safety.
• Recommendations for stakeholder dialog, centrally and locally, shall be prepared. In addition to these central objectives and within the framework of ISO 14001, each facility applies its own specific environmental targets and follows up results each year. The central objectives are followed up annually in conjunction with CR reporting.
