Environmental and quality organisation
Each company in Elanders has appointed someone responsible for environmental and quality work. On Group level the work is carried out by a group consisting of the same staff. If possible this group meets once or twice a year to discuss goals for the coming year, audits, legislation, ecolabels, reporting systems for deviations and costs, assessments of new chemicals, quality and environmental management systems as well as internal education. Summaries of the meetings are then sent on to Executive Management.
Expertise and experience in graphic technology and production, the environment, quality management, chemistry, the working environment, environmental legislation and business systems can all be found among the members of this group. To achieve the best results the members of the group contact each other for aid and support in their work even on a global level. Considering the increasing amount of global business this cooperation is becoming more and more important.
Subsidiaries
Each subsidiary is responsible for its own work with environmental and quality matters and they are therefore handled in different ways in different countries. These differences stem from both cultural and legal differences. There are differences in how much solvents can be consumed without a permit as well as the level of solvent emissions. Differences in equipment and production mixes create different conditions. For example, the number of copies determines the need for cleaning, which in turn decides how much solvents are used.
