| Our sustainability vision for ESAB is a company that: |
|
|
Has an impact on the environment that does not contribute to biosphere deterioration |
|
Manages human resources in a way that makes our intellectual capital continously grow |
|
Contributes to local and global economy development |
|
Makes flawless products, needed by society and safe to use |
|
Delivers financial results that satisfies shareholders over business cycles |
| |
| We will be closer to this vision, at least from an environmental point of view, when: |
|
Welding equipment is designed for refurbishing or reuse |
|
Our raw materials and components are made of recycled materials |
|
Hazardous compounds that are not essential parts of our products have been eliminated |
|
Our production and processes only use renewable energy and closed water circulation systems |
|
All production waste is reused, recycled or used as raw materials in other processes |
|
Hazardous welding fumes are significantly lowered and effective ventilation systems are used by all welders |
|
Welding slags and other product waste is recycled or used as raw material in other processes |
 |
| We are obviously still a long way from our vision but every step we take is at least a contribution to a less un-sustainable world. |
