The foundation for environmental responsibility at Componenta is laid by the quality and environmental policy, which states that Componenta promote awareness of customer and legal requirements throughout the organization. The management system helps boost commitment to comply with the principles of environmental responsibility in the company's work.

Componenta’s production units have their own special features and areas of specialization, and each unit maintains its own environmental management system that recognizes its specific environmental aspects. Some of the environmental aspects are the same at all units, but local differences in conditions and requirements affect their emphasis and content.

When setting and reviewing environmental targets, the production units address at least the following common aspects:

• reducing consumption of energy and raw materials
• reducing particle and VOC emissions
• reducing the level of ambient noise caused by business
operations
• enhancing the sorting of waste
• reducing the amount of non-recyclable waste

At corporate level we ensure that production units have sufficient resources to achieve their environmental targets, maintain their competitiveness and develop their manufacturing processes. Investments are based upon the use of “Best Available Technology” (BAT), whilst also taking into consideration economic, environmental and safety and health aspects.
