SBB Enviromental Policy

At SBB, we are fully committed to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development. We recognize our responsibility to our planet and are determined to minimize our environmental impact while guaranteeing the exceptional quality of our products. With this in mind, we have established an SBB environmental policy that guides our daily actions and decisions.

  • Residual materials management:

We are committed to reducing residual material generation at source by promoting waste reuse, recycling, and recovery. We actively encourage our employees to adopt responsible practices and contribute to waste reduction through awareness-raising and training initiatives.

  • Hazardous materials management:

The handling and storage of hazardous materials is carried out following current regulations. We invest in safe technologies and practices to minimize the risks associated with these substances. We are committed to the ongoing search for safer, environmentally friendly alternative methods.

  • Spill prevention:

We implement rigorous preventive measures to prevent accidental spills of polluting substances into the environment. Our employees are trained to react quickly and effectively in an emergency, minimizing the impact on the local environment.

  • Recyclability of our products:

Using aluminum as a raw material, we design our products to emphasize durability and recyclability. We encourage the use of recycled materials in our production processes. We are constantly innovating to design products that can be easily reused or recycled at the end of their life cycle. We work with our suppliers and customers to promote efficient recycling systems for our products.

  • Ongoing commitment:

We are committed to meeting and exceeding legal and regulatory environmental requirements. We regularly assess our environmental performance, set measurable targets, and implement continuous improvement programs to reduce our environmental footprint.

  • Awareness and communication:

We promote environmental awareness among our employees, partners, and customers. We transparently communicate our environmental objectives and progress to inspire commitment to environmental protection.   Adopting this environmental policy demonstrates our commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility and continuous innovation. These collective efforts will help preserve our environment for future generations.
