Reducing impact through better design

// Scope

This policy applies to all Component 2.0 operations, employees, and contractors.

Where Component 2.0 does not have operating control, we encourage partners to demonstrate the same environmental commitments reflected in this policy.

// Commitment

Component 2.0 is committed to reducing our environmental impact.

We do this by designing products and equipment for our clients and ourselves — providing the best possible solutions to reduce or reuse raw materials while optimising process performance.

We work with partners to promote environmental best practices across our value chain and increase understanding of environmental issues among internal and external stakeholders.

// How we work

Compliance and standards

We comply with applicable environmental legislation, regulations, Component 2.0's environmental management system, and environmental standards — applying stricter criteria where appropriate.

Continuous improvement

In our daily work, we aim for continuous environmental improvements through good housekeeping at office facilities and fulfilment of environmental obligations from the landlord.

Shared responsibility

Everyone at Component 2.0 has a role to play. This policy defines both individual and shared responsibilities and is implemented through the Component 2.0 Environmental Management System and the C2.0 Optimal Design Model.
