Environment and social responsibility

Sustainability

At Danstoker we are of the firm belief that there are no conflicting interests between financial development and environmental protection, and that both should serve a common goal, now as well as in future generations. Danstoker has therefore prepared its own Environment Charter, based on the 16 principles of ICC’s Environment Charter.

Green production

Danstoker’s boiler production can rightly be called green.

The boilers produced by Danstoker for biomass alone spare the environment of approx. 435,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.

Additionally, there is the contribution of waste heat recovery boilers and economizers, able to even better utilize the heat in exhaust gases from other processes, as well as the generally higher efficiency of our boilers, all of which brings the actual figure much higher up.

Plus:

• Two thirds of the time spent by Danstoker’s staff is applied to biomass boilers (CO₂ neutral products)
• More than 99% of the material in a Danstoker boiler can be recycled when the boiler is scrapped (sustainable production)
• Danstoker’s own heating requirements are covered by CO₂ neutral fuels (saving approx. 500 tons of CO₂ per year).
• Danstoker makes dedicated efforts to improve our production processes to minimize CO₂ emissions.

– a workplace which fits the heading of Clean Technology.

Corporate social responsibility  ”CSR”

“CSR is defined as a company’s voluntary efforts to integrate social and environmental considerations in their business activities and in the interaction with their stakeholders“. EU (2001) Corporate Social Responsibility.

Danstoker makes a dedicated effort to work in accordance with this definition, as is clearly reflected in the Danstoker Group’s vision, in which two of the main themes are:

• To be appreciated as a company with a social and ethical responsibility that respects and develops the people whose lives are linked to and influenced by us.
• To be a company acknowledging its responsibility in relation to legislation, democratic principles and tradition – locally as well as internationally – and makes targeted efforts to develop solutions which are both environmentally optimized and resource preserving.
