Sustainability in Lapetek

Lapetek has a diverse environmental program, and we regularly monitor how we are achieving our set goals. These goals range from the efficiency of our operations to the environmental load caused by our products and the carbon footprint we leave behind. At the moment, one of our ongoing goals is to continuously increase the energy efficiency of our light fixtures. Responsibility of our ecological environment and the environmental effects of our operations are taken into account in all our activities. Our goal is an operating method covering the whole life cycle of our products, which is based on taking care of our environment and continuously improving our operations and minimizing the environmental impact of our operations.

In our daily operations, our sustainability can be seen in how:

• Responsible and environmentally friendly suppliers and partners
• Minimizing energy use
• Reuse of packaging material
• Improving logistics and commuting
• Environmental training for personnel and annual monitoring and reporting of the environmental impact of operations

	Nordic Swan Ecolabelling’s Building Product Database All our Lapetek and Blanco sinks can be found in the Nordic Swan Ecolabelling’s Building Product Database. The prerequisite for database entry is e.g. the fact that sinks must not contain harmful nanoparticles. All added products can be used for Nordic Swan Ecolabelling’s construction projects.
	Responsible recycling We are registered in Rinki Oy, an environmental organization of the packaging industry that organizes the collection of consumer packaging in Finland. In addition, we are a member of SERTY, which takes care of recycling of electrical and electronic products in Finland on behalf of its member companies. The consumer can deliver their end-of-life LAPETEK products free of charge to recycling bins managed by SERTY. This is how we support the use of packaging as recycled material and the prevention of environmental harm. Find the nearest SERTY collection point (electronic products) at: www.serty.fi/en/companies/sorting Consumer packaging materials (cardboards, plastics) can be recycled, for example, at the RINKI eco-point.

	Reliable Partner We are part of the Responsible Group's Reliable Partner service. According to the Reliable Partner service, the company's operations are transparent because it has granted permission to thoroughly check its data, such as tax and pension information. Based on this information, the company has fulfilled its obligations well.

Ecology is a key focus in the development of our product range. Our expert team is continuously working to improve each collection, ensuring that the next will be even better, more efficient, and most importantly, more eco-friendly. We are committed to integrating ecological values and sustainable practices into every stage of our products' development and lifecycle.

For us, responsibility means embedding sustainability across all aspects of our business. It is reflected in the design and production of our products, our relationship with the environment, and the way we conduct our daily operations.
