Environment and climate changes impact all of us. Holchem intends to continue working towards understanding the environmental impact of our products and proactively driving it down, whilst maintaining our customer focus and profitability.
We are working to reduce the impact of our operations and products on the environment by increasing efficiency, minimising waste and reducing our energy consumption in the factories. Many of our core products have been optimised to provide enhanced cleaning power but at an overall lower environmental impact.
The main thrust of this development has been twofold, namely:
- To ensure that our customer (end user of the product) sees the same, or improved, performance levels of the product but with lower environmental impact from the product itself.
- To reduce the environmental impact and cost of the overall clean, taking into account detergent usage, water usage, energy usage, labour usage and time to carry out the operation.
We have a philosophy of always do what we say we will do; this has, over the years, given our customers, suppliers and employees confidence in our sustainability as a successful business. We maintain the highest manufacturing, technical and service standards and promise we will continue to be the most innovative provider of hygiene solutions, whilst ensuring we always listen to feedback on our service offering.
We provide products and services that complement our customer’s business and enhance their reputation for ensuring product integrity and sustainability. We are committed to providing high performance products, including cleaning products, equipment and systems and to keep these under constant review to ensure that the products are safe, have the lowest hazards to personnel and equipment, give the highest performance at lowest cost of clean whilst having the least impact on the environment.
In addition, we intend to make further progress in understanding the impact of our business on the environment in terms of our carbon emissions and work is on-going to develop both products and new processes to continue to reduce that impact. We are developing tools that will allow users to compare cleaning regimes. The comparison would include cost of clean and, additionally, carbon and water footprint.
