Sustentabilidade

Elanders has identified several areas we can influence which effect sustainable development. We have already begun mapping the first three areas.

Environmental responsibility (environment, quality)
Socail responsibility (management, personnel, diversity)
Financial responsibility (finance, purchasing, sales, shareholders, legal requirements)
Professional responsibility (customers, deals)
Logistic responsibility (IT, logistics, communication)

Adaption to new sustainability requirements
An increasingly important question is how Elanders plans to progressively adapt the company to the new sustainability requirements. This question contains a number of challenges and opportunities. It is not just a matter of how Elanders will change operations in order to lower emissions and raise working place standards but also how this process can be advantageous from a competitive perspective for a graphic company that was certified early on.

Investors have been showing a growing interest in this question lately because the stock market sees a clearer parallel between how a company handles sustainability matters and its long-term financial results. There is a risk of being dragged through the mud, if for example a subcontractor runs into badwill problems, to the point of
having to move production to another country and the enormous expense that entails. Therefore investors need guidance from the companies they invest in as to the most likely risks and the monetary effects of them.

In other words the need for Elanders to specify the sustainable goals established by the company and which processes and policies Elanders plans to use to achieve these goals is much greater than before. In 2008 Elanders will clarify this process.
