Axis and the environment
For Axis, environment issues are always important in the development of new products and the improvement of existing ones, as well as in connection with deliveries and business trips undertaken by staff. The company supplies products and solutions efficiently, with minimum impact on the environment, while, at the same time, it observes its legal obligations, environmental regulations and other requirements.
Axis’ aim is to:
- Maintain and expand a deep-rooted feeling of environmental responsibility among its staff, and
- Ensure that the staff receives training in Axis’ environmental policy and implements it in their day-to-day work.
Axis’ Environmental Council continuously works with issues aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of products during manufacturing, delivery and installation. Axis maintains a continuous dialog with customers, suppliers, shareholders, staff, the authorities and the general public with the aim of improving the environmental work relating to the company’s products, services and operation.
Environment throughout the value chain
Environmental considerations are an integral part of every new project. This means that no substances identified as harmful to the environment under current directives are used in any new project. A clear result of the company’s environment-related work is the reduction in energy consumption of its products. For example, the consumption of energy in standby mode of the net adapters used for the products is now 15 times lower. Axis has been working in partnership with its component suppliers to create a transition with the aim of ensuring that all existing and future products meet the requirements for the elimination of environmentally hazardous components.
WEE and RoHS
Axis supports its suppliers, customers and partners in their choice of low environmental impact products. The company meets the current directive for WEEE (Waste of Electric and Electronic Equipment), which sets out how worn-out electrical products must be dealt with in future, and RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) which aims to remove hazardous substances from products.
Suppliers and transports
Axis also maintains a continuous and constructive dialog with suppliers and subcontractors to reduce or eliminate the negative impact on the environment of the production process. Axis’ aim is, as far as possible, to use environmentally certified transport companies. In the logistics process, transport is the area which has the greatest impact on the environment. During the year, the increase in transport has been relatively low in comparison with the increase in sales.
Business trips
In a company which is growing globally, the number of business trips will increase. Axis’ offers its staff low environmental impact alternatives and travel planning for reduced environmental impact.
