Olex Green Goals

06 Dec 2006

Olex have recently renewed our pledge to reduce our environmental impact by working towards seven “green goals”.

While Olex have always been an environmentally conscious workplace, we are now even more committed to ensuring our manufacturing sites are safe and clean and will minimise the effects on the environment.

The Seven Green Goals which Olex are working towards are:

  • Reduce solid waste going to landfill
  • Use environmentally friendly materials
  • Reduce emissions to air / water / sewer
  • Reduce liquid wastes
  • Reduce water usage
  • Reduce energy use in cable production
  • Comply with all environmental legislation

In addition to working towards the goals above, our manufacturing sites will also be audited by independent environmental experts who will advise us on how to best limit our environmental impact.

All activities undertaken by Olex will reflect the standards outlined in AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004 “Environmental Management Systems”, to which Olex aims to achieve full accreditation.
