Draka Elevator Products Going “Green”
Rocky Mount, August 07, 2008
Draka Elevator Products, like many other companies today, is very concerned about the environment and doing our part for the future of our world. We at DEP are now in process of evaluating everything from the products that we sell to our daily office operations. In addition, all of our headquarter locations are seeking to become ISO 14001 certified by mid-year 2009. In addition, Draka Holding and each of our business units are also working towards this same goal.
DEP already has many products that conform to standards such as our halogen free traveling cables and soft starter just to name two. We are expanding our recycling and scrap programs as well as evaluating our energy usage in all parts of the business. We plan to publish a formal communication in the near future on how Draka Elevator Products continues to play a part in this important initiative. From reduction in water usage, waste and energy usage and employee education, to product and operations adherence to green guidelines, Draka plans to exceed those certification requirements and find ways to excel and set standards for our industry.
We’ll also be evaluating our suppliers, vendors and partners to ensure that the products, materials and services we are distributing and utilizing also play a part in contributing to this cause. We’ll evaluate our packaging materials, shipment methods and every other process to insure we are doing everything possible on our journey to becoming green. Please look for future updates on this topic as we take it to the next level.
