In Steel-Kamet Oy's strategy, responsibility has been highlighted as one of the important values. Increasing responsibility and respect for it in our daily work will be an important part in the future. The objective of Steel-Kamet Oy is to significantly reduce emissions from production and operations, as well as increase their impact on operations and investments.
By recycling and sorting of raw materials, as well as subcontracting, we can significantly reduce the consumption of raw materials and energy - and at the same time reduce the environmental impact. With the quality system, we annually monitor the amount of recyclable material, as well as set new goals every year. Through efficient subcontracting, we can optimize the supply of raw materials and minimize production wastes. The waste from our own production could be a necessary raw material for someone else.
The utilization of the latest LED technology in the illumination of the production premises, as well as the production of compressed air by using electricity, will reduce the carbon footprint of Steel-Kamet Oy's production. In addition, utilizing the waste heat generated by the compressed air system for heating production facilities, will reduce the carbon footprint in future. The fuel-efficiency of the service cars, the use of AD Blue additive as well as the opening of the service center in Pirkkala area will reduce travel costs and consequently reduce the carbon footprint.
We have calculated our production carbon footprint from the year 2018 by using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which is one of the available calculation tools.
