We are living in important times, in which we have to become aware of our impact on the environment, and how to protect it. Plastic pollution remains one of our biggest challenges.
As part of our commitment to human health, we know it's just as important to take care of the planet. That’s why we want to share some of the actions we have taken to reduce plastic waste.
Thanks to the hard work put in by everyone, we have installed 118 solar panels, which can produce more than 77,000 kWh per year and will cover approximately 56% of our annual electricity needs.
In addition, we have improved the thermal insulation and soundproofing of our facilities and renovated the wiring and lighting with LED technology.
All these improvements, in addition to introducing changes in work operations, help contribute towards reducing electricity consumption and CO2 emissions.
We took a step further in our commitment to the environment by successfully renewing ISO 14001:2015 certification for our Integrated Management System.
Our fleet of vehicles has been replaced with less polluting vehicles, many of them classified as green or even zero-emissions, and measures have been implemented to reduce travel.
At SH Medical we are aware of the growing awareness and respect for the environment in our sector. As a result, we have implemented new procedures and adapted current policies as much as possible to meet environmental requirements.
Eco-friendly printing is part of our firm commitment to the environment. That’s why at SH we print as little as possible, and all our catalogues and brochures are made with 60% recycled fibre and 40% virgin fibre certified by FSC®.
