Environment

Preventive and long-term environmental work
Kranpunkten works to eliminate environmental risks and minimize our impact on the environment. Through our management system, environmental work takes place systematically as an integrated part of the business and our goal is clear - we must be the best in the industry.

Focus areas
We work continuously to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment. We do this best by focusing on the areas where we can make the biggest difference.

Our focus areas are:

• Reduced emissions from our machinery and other vehicles·
• Reduced emissions from our external carriers·
• Phasing out of environmentally and health hazardous substances in our workshops·
• Reduced energy consumption in our premises·      
• Reduced amount of waste

We make demands on our stakeholders
Our stakeholders play a decisive role in how we succeed with our environmental work, so we not only set high demands on ourselves but also on them. In the purchasing process, we assess the suppliers' environmental performance, an evaluation which then forms the basis for our choice of supplier. Within the organization, we ensure that each employee is well aware of how their work tasks affect the environment and how they should act to minimize these. In parallel, we follow the development of new environmentally better technology that can contribute to reducing our environmental footprint. Together with our stakeholders, we must reduce our environmental impact significantly - that is our goal.

Compliance requirements

The content of the code of conduct is continuously followed up in the business. Employees in senior positions have a special responsibility to set a good example, and all employees are encouraged to raise the alarm if they suspect anything that goes against the code of conduct.

If an employee or other stakeholder does not act in accordance with the code of conduct, action will be taken. In the event of a serious violation, the cooperation will be terminated.
