EVOSYS Receives Environmental Certification ISO 14001:2015

Evosys has been committed to environmental protection and sustainable action within the company for several years. Receiving the internationally recognized ISO 14001:2015 certification means the established measures are now officially documented. Laser plastic welding technology is a process for joining two plastic components together with a material bond. With low energy requirements and long machine running times, the process has versatile, cross-industry possibilities for resource-saving and sustainable use.

Comprehensive environmental management was introduced in all business areas for successful environmental certification in accordance with ISO 14001:2015. On the one hand, this includes a life cycle assessment of the machines, from the procurement of raw materials, through the service life and finally the recycling of the systems. On the other hand, further measures are being taken to raise employee awareness of sustainable and environmentally conscious action. By introducing the environmental management system, Evosys is underlining its commitment to protecting the environment and preserving vital nature for future generations.

Managing Director Frank Brunnecker comments on the successful certification: “We want to motivate our employees through clearly defined environmental goals and processes and at the same time raise awareness of sustainable action. The focus is on protecting our shared environment.” Thomas Kneidl, Environmental Management Officer at Evosys, adds: “We are reducing our energy consumption, lowering our CO₂ emissions through the use of renewable energies and ensuring that we use environmentally friendly materials.” Measures to achieve the environmental targets include, for example, the expansion of the solar plant at the company headquarter in Erlangen. This will be extended to the roof of the production hall in 2025 to ensure the entire energy supply comes from renewable energy sources. Evosys also encourages employees to act sustainably and environmentally conscious by offering them a monetary allowance if they regularly leave their car at home and come to work by bike or public transport.
