Understanding how we all deal with social matters is becoming more crucial every day. Or more crucial? It has become a prerequisite. And that also applies to the environment and environmental legislation. Global warming is a fact, and there is no time to lose. CTOUCH has been on a journey towards a sustainable future for some time now. And from now on, we can officially call ourselves ISO 14001 certified!
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is the international standard for an environmental management system. It provides a framework for protecting the environment and continuously responding to changing environmental conditions. The environmental management system also aims to monitor and continually improve environmental performance.
The ISO 14001 standard further describes how a company can manage environmental risks in a process-oriented way. Or prevent risks for the environment. And that, of course, is what we prefer. The ISO 14001 standard also helps companies to realise various environmental objectives.
Why this ISO 14001 certification?
The climate is changing, and temperatures are rising. These developments have some serious consequences for people, nature and the environment. The fight against climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. And we want to contribute as much as we can. Our mission is to become the most sustainable manufacturer of touchscreens in Europe. And we want to ensure that by 2025, our total carbon footprint is reduced by 25% and our circularity increased by 25%. Achieving ISO 14001 certification was, therefore, a logical step for CTOUCH.
Sustainability is part of the CTOUCH Circle
To take concrete steps towards our sustainability goals, we have defined four themes that reflect how we think, act, innovate and develop our products. These four themes are sustainability, customer engagement, future proof and security. Together they form the CTOUCH Circle®. With these themes, we strive to maximise the value for our employees, customers, partners and society.
