Our Environmental Outlook
In our everyday endeavors we strive to optimize and make an impact that lasts.
Our day-to-day Climate Action is our defined Environmental Policy. According to our business goals and managerial positions we aspire to develop and manufacture products with consideration to environmental conditions. We continuously improve production and organizational factors, which impact the internal and external environment by:
- Applying environmentally friendly processes
- Optimizing the use of resources
- Reducing the emissions from the company's processes
Environmental accounts
Since fiscal year 1997/1998, IRON Pump A/S has prepared and delivered green accounts. A green account is a report, which in facts render visible the yearly consumption of raw materials and energy, and emissions and the waste that derive from production and the company's daily operations. The green account is an excellent work tool, which quickly provides an overview of the materials and the energy applied in manufacturing and assembling pumps, and contemporarily shows, which steps have been followed and/or initiated to become even better. The rules for reporting of the green accounts have been changed in October 2015, In the future only PRTR data must be reported. PRTR data are already included as a part of the green accounts.
We safeguard the environment and only use material and parts in our production of pumps, which do not contain harmful materials and substances, and which meet the requirements according to resolution A962 (23). We satisfy and comply with current requirements according to REACH Directive.
Action
Our experienced R&D team continuously work on solutions that optimize our products, which our ECO pump series is a clear example of: A smaller pump with the same or more powerful performance. A smaller pump means less use of material and hence, fewer resources and because a pump in the use phase is just one side of sustainability, we look at the entire value chain around a pump. A newly prepared LCA on one of our pumps helps us zoom in on the overall CO2 footprint of a pump.
In our sales team, our engineers work closely with our customers in developing solutions that comply with emission regulations, ballast water treatment demands etc. at sea.
We do our best to ensure that our suppliers comply with and fulfil all requirements under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Dodd-Frank Act Section 1502 (Mineral Conflict).
We do not accept the exploitation of children, discrimination, or other forms of exploitation of humanity and we will NOT cooperate with companies who buy minerals from illegal mining operations, who cooperate with countries with long-standing conflicts, or with countries that exploit children labour or commit other serious violations of human rights.
