Consilium is strongly committed to embracing the principles of sustainable development in its operations. Consilium sees sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (UN 1987). The Group’s sustainable development work will also focus on The Natural Step’s four sustainability principles and the environmental quality objectives adopted by the Swedish parliament. 

It is Consilium’s goal that all product companies and production units will have an environmental management system according to ISO 14000. It is important that the Company’s operations are planned, implemented, monitored and improved according to this standard in order to reduce adverse environmental impacts. Consilium sees this work as a natural part of its commitment to the Company’s stakeholders. In addition, it is Consilium’s firm belief that a successful environmental programme also generates economic benefits, both in the short and long term. 

Based on the Company’s own requirements and the expectations of the outside world, Consilium works for a better environment and endeavours to offer environmentally-friendly products and solutions which promote sustainable development. Consilium regards legislation and regulations as a minimum requirement and, as in all its operations, aims for constant improvement and reduction of the Group’s environmental impacts.
