Sustainable development

Sustainable development at SPOLCHEMIA is based on human resources, our employees and three basic pillars:

Environment

encompasses the GREEN COOPERATION programme and all our activities that reduce our environmental impact and help us to use resources efficiently, whether it is the use of state-of-the-art technologies, the development of environmentally friendly products, or even activities towards the environment, in the area of purchasing or waste management.

Company

relates to our immediate surroundings, the city of Ústí nad Labem, and to the public. Our goal is that SPOLCHEMIE, despite the proximity of our premises to the city centre, will be positively perceived as a good, beneficial, trustworthy and safe neighbour.

Economics

focuses on strengthening the economic situation of SPOLCHEMIE, increasing profits and strengthening our position on the market and deepening customer relations. Quality is also part of customer relations.

Our concept of sustainability includes working closely with employees, suppliers and other business partners, who we encourage and motivate to follow similar sustainability principles. Health and safety is an equally important priority.

As part of our sustainable development efforts, we have set ourselves targets that we want to achieve.

In the Environment pillar, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is key – we want to reduce our carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2) by 40% by 2030. We also want to reduce pollution – by 2030 we have a target to reduce specific waste production by 20% and reduce specific wastewater pollution by 15%.

In the area of corporate social responsibility and safety, our main objective is to reduce the incidence (serious accidents and hazardous conditions) in production by 50% by 2030, and in the area of human resources to reduce the accident rate (with absenteeism of more than 3 days) by 60%.

In the economic area, our main goal is to achieve a 50% increase in revenue by 2030.

Note: Targets for 2030 set against 2020.
