PEFC/02-31-143 Taking responsibility for the environment, economy and people Lappset’s corporate social responsibility is based on three aspects of responsibility – the responsibility for the environment, economy and people – applied in accordance with the recommendations of the international ISO 26000 standard. The ethical principles related to corporate responsibility are applied in all the Group’s operations. In addition, we require from our subcontractor network that all our partners around the world are committed to our Supplier Code of Conduct. Taking care of the environment and making the environment enjoyable In environmental affairs, we have been forerunners within our sector since our company was founded in the 1970s. Sustainability is in our DNA, as stated in one of our four basic values. The management of environmental affairs and supporting sustainable development are essential parts of our business quality and operating philosophy. We observe the environmental aspects, starting from procurement and product design, through the entire production process, all the way to installation. The long lifespan of our products supports sustainable development. We operate in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 14001 environmental management system. Our certified system (no. 1685–09) covers all our production facilities in Finland and Estonia. It is audited by an external independent auditor on a regular basis. Our products are designed, manufactured, packaged and delivered so as to cause as little burden to the environment as possible. By using durable and recyclable materials we save raw materials and energy. We minimise emissions caused by delivery by selecting environmentally aware logistics partners, packaging our products carefully, filling shipping containers to maximum capacity, and favouring sea transport to far-away countries. Thanks to the modular structure of our products, we can optimise the consumption, production, storage and transport of wood materials. We acquire the wood materials from PEFC-certified (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Scheme) forests only, which ensures that the wood materials we use come from managed forests that follow the principles of sustainable development. Lappset also has a PEFC CoC (Chain of Custody, no. 4704–05) certificate that ensures proper control of the chain of custody. Usage safety of our products is tested in accordance with internationally approved testing methods. We take care of the occupational health and safety of our staff in accordance with the Group’s occupational health and safety programme. Our environmental policy is aimed at minimising the environmental impacts of manufacturing, products and services. We monitor the efficiency of these measures by means of audits, internal inspections and measuring the consumption of raw materials, energy and water. We continuously develop our operations and production processes in accordance with lean philosophy. 10
