Camfil Farr publishes second Sustainability Report

08.06.2010

In 2009, Camfil Farr embarked on a mission to become the first sustainable air filtration company in the world, launching an internal programme to achieve this objective and publishing its second corporate sustainability report on a voluntary basis.

Camfil Farr took these initiatives because of its belief in sustainability. The company’s efforts in this area confirm what Camfil Farr has been doing for almost half a century: greening the operations of customers by providing air filtration products with the lowest energy consumption and life cycle costs while improving the environment, human health and productivity.

“In 2009, we stepped up our resource conservation programmes at offices and manufacturing facilities. Metrics are in place and the lessons learned from local implementation activities have given us valuable insight for devising measures that can reduce our environmental impact effectively. “In our latest report you can find examples of tangible results” says Myriam Tryjefaczka, Camfil Farr’s Corporate Sustainability Manager.

In 2010, Camfil Farr will finalize its long-term global targets and continue to develop policies and practices. Maintaining a high level of commitment to sustainability is a condition for success:

“Sustainability is core to our corporate and competitive strategies and vital for Camfil Farr’s continuing growth. We practice it every day by improving processes, practices and products from a sustainability standpoint, and by designing sustainability into every product and service we deliver. We need to do this in the present, but also for future generations. It means starting our work day with the mindset that ‘we always do well when we do good,’ writes Alan O’Connell, CEO of the Camfil Farr Group, in the introduction to the 2009 report.
