We are Environmentalists
Basic Policy for the Environment
One of ZDCL's corporate goals is to minimize the environmental impact of our business activities and of the products we make.
Basic Policy
Observe environmental laws
We shall observe applicable laws about environmental impact in the countries where we manufacture, and we will observe international accords which may pertain to countries where we sell our products. Also, we will be responsive to individual customers' concerns with respect to environmental matters.
Take action to protect the environment
We will strive to prevent pollution of the environment by our actions and we will eliminate or minimize the use of substances known to be environmentally undesirable.
Seek to complete the recycling circle
We will seek to complete the recycling circle:
by using reclaimed materials, where possible and appropriate, even when such materials may cost slightly more than virgin materials;
by reclaiming from the waste stream materials and supplies we use;
by making it easy for our customers to reclaim and recycle what we supply, especially packaging materials.
Propose reuse of resources
We will welcome proposals from our customers to develop re-use strategies for materials, where possible, especially packaging materials.
Management System
What is the main perpuse of your business?
To ensure that every ZDCL facility throughout the world observes these principles fully and consistently, we have developed a comprehensive Environmental Management System. Designed to be compliant with the requirements of ISO 14001, this system was implemented and 3rd-party registered at our facilities in 2015. A fully compliant system has been in place at all other ZDCL facilities since 2015. Compliance audits are conducted annually.
