Committing to protecting the environment
Paragon ID is firmly committed to protecting our environ- ment. Our environmental policy is a clear demonstration of our awareness of the crucial challenges on this issue, and has been for a number of years. By adopting an eco- responsible and proactive approach, we are committed to continually improving our environmental performance.
Our commitment is based on several key targets, namely complying with applicable environmental regulations, pre- venting pollution risks and promoting the use of products that respect biodiversity. To this end, we have chosen to refer to the ISO 14001 standard to guide the implementation of our environmental management systems at all our sites.
At the heart of this strategy, we have defined guidelines which are the driving force behind our initiatives and decisions taken regarding the environment.
The three pillars of our environmental policy:
PREVENTING POLLUTION RISKS
Awareness-raising initiatives are organised for all employees so that everyone can be actively involved in helping protect our environment.
In each business sector, we conduct analyses to anticipate any risk of pollution that could affect our water, air and soil.
The regulatory requirements are known, shared and complied with, for all regulations applicable to our business.
The end of lifecycle and recycling of our products should be taken into consideration by our R&D teams at the design stage.
