BUSINESS ETHICS AND SUSTAINABILITY
SAFE, SUSTAINABLE AND CERTIFIED GALVANIC SOLUTIONS
The internal path that we have activated to ensure safe, non-toxic and green processes
This approach has also been adopted by Valmet Plating, where the use of all chemicals that can be dangerous for people’s health or the environment has been progressively reduced.
Apart from any sector regulations, the company philosophy has made authentic sustainability a cornerstone. The company’s goal has always been to go beyond the phenomenon of Green Washing (environmentalism as an element more of marketing than of substance) to instead initiate real dynamics of sustainability, control and safety. This vision has resulted in a comprehensive review of laboratory research workflows and objectives. This is how the international list of restricted substances – Manufacturing Restricted Substances List or MRSL – was born, the purpose of which is to instead inaugurate real dynamics of sustainability, control and safety. This vision has resulted in a comprehensive review of laboratory research workflows and objectives.
The result of this process, today leads fashion houses, or their direct suppliers, to turn to Valmet Plating to obtain analyses which certify compliance with the limitations imposed by the MRSL or the PRSL (Product Restricted Substances List).
These are often particularly complex assessments, necessary to truly ensure the correctness of processes and operations which are increasingly a discriminating factor for obtaining particularly prestigious or important job orders.
ENVIRONMENT & SAFETY
Over the last few years, a generalised attitude of protection for the well-being of mankind and the environment, for the safety of products and a products and development which takes into account not only the economic aspects but also respect for people and the environment has taken shape.
Safety:
of people and processes
The safety of people and work processes is a key element of our development model. Sometimes we talk about sustainability only in environmental terms but it is first of all the ways of working that must be sustainable. Sustainable and safe. In relation to this aspect we have drawn up and adopted a code of ethics which identifies the working practices and philosophy in Valmet.
Sustainability:
OUR POLAR STAR
One of the main focuses of the company is research applied to sustainability. For this reason, the constant experimentation linked to defining safe and sustainable electroplating processes and baths from an environmental point of view is the guiding star of every research activity launched in recent years. It is no coincidence that the company has set up strategic collaborations with certification bodies in order to be, through its internal laboratories, in turn a reference point for those looking for a partner capable of guiding their customers towards ecological and sustainable practices and processes.
CERTIFICATIONS:
THE REAL GUARANTEES FOR CUSTOMERS
Every activity aimed at sustainability and safety must be certified. Certifications are the only objective guarantees that we can give to our customers. For this reason we have chosen, where possible, to have our processes monitored and certified, in terms of sustainability, safety and selection of non-toxic and non-harmful materials.
