ENVIRONMENT
Here at syncreon, we don’t just say that we care about the environment. Our culture of innovation and continuous improvement means that we are always searching for new ways to improve our systems, processes and facilities in order to reduce our impact on the environment. We put the highest value on not only environmental preservation overall, but the preservation of the communities in which we operate. We have made environmental issues a primary concern of our business operations, actively setting goals which exceed legal and regulatory requirements. We tackle these issues proactively whenever possible, taking steps to prevent problems before they arise and reacting quickly when they do.
As part of our continuous focus on future sustainability, we are delighted to have renewed our membership with the Conseil Européen de Remanufacture (European Remanufacturing Council) and The Reverse Logistics Association for 2021.
GREEN INITIATIVES
Reducing Carbon Emissions
In recent years we have made significant investments in video calling and video conferencing technologies for most of our sites and offices throughout the world. This allows our global teams to work together without needing to travel, cutting back on fuel consumption and emissions. Not alone does video calling and video conferencing technologies help reduce our impact on the environment, it helps our organization in reducing costs associated with travel. We work with our employees to encourage changes in commuting habits to help promote less impact on the environment.
Efficient product packaging
We are proud to use Greenline 100% post-consumer recycled paper for void filling in our shipments at a selected number of global facilities. This helps preserve forests, because it reduces demand for wood. It conserves resources and generates less pollution during manufacturing, because the fibers have already been processed once. In addition it reduces solid waste, because it diverts usable paper from the waste stream.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
We are working to replace the internal lighting at a number of our warehouse facilities with energy efficient LEDs that consume less electricity and are also more reliable and last longer than other lighting alternatives. Across our operations syncreon has a number of facilities that run their operations on green electricity. This helps with reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as supporting renewable energy development and reduce the carbon footprint associated with the electricity syncreon purchases.
Recycling & Waste Reduction
At syncreon we are actively looking at ways to increase our recycling rates & reduce paper consumption. Where printing is necessary we encourage our associates to print double sided and in black in white. At all of our facilities waste is segregated and disposed / recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.
HEALTH & SAFETY
We value the health and safety of our workforce, customers and citizens of the communities in which we operate. Our vision is to create an injury-free workplace and a company culture where environmental excellence is second nature. syncreon is committed to providing employees with an environment that is safe and secure.
ISO Standard Adherence
In 2017, we transitioned ten sites around the world from ISO 14001: 2004 to the new ISO 14001: 2015.
In 2018, syncreon’s Netherlands sites in Waalwijk, Tilburg and Venray were successfully audited by the National Standard Association of Ireland (NSAI) and have transitioned to ISO 45001 Certification. We are the first supply chain company to achieve this new standard. The new ISO 45001 standard for safety was released in March 2018, and thanks to our history with OHSAS 18001 and our transitions to the newest standards for Quality and the Environment, syncreon was ready to meet it.
