Ecology

An Ecological brand

Amica’s location near the unique forestry complex of Puszcza Notecka is a constant reminder to the company of the effects of its operation on the natural environment. For many years, it has consistently been implementing a pro-ecological policy, which peaked with the introduction of an Environmental Management System based on the ISO14001 standard. Today, this constitutes an important element of the Integrated Management System. The company is a member of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM).

Amica's major contribution to environmental protection has been the increase in the share of energy saving products from the highest classes of energy efficiency: A, A+ and A++. The laboratories in which the company tests its products enable it to achieve consistently better results in this field. Through using the most advanced technology, each of its new factories becomes even more environmentally friendly, so that Amica can now boast of lower water and electricity consumption, and a limitation of waste and sewage.

The consistent implementation of the pro-ecology policy means that Amica is fully adapted to the environmental legislation in force in the European Union. The company is very selective in its choice of manufacturing materials, which must not contain any harmful substances and which can be recycled or re-used. Only companies following similar principles can be Amica suppliers.  

Another important aspect of Amica's activities is general ecological education for its employees, which ensures that the environmental policy is consistently implemented and that the company’s planned targets and ecological tasks are achieved. Actions such as these help to change former behaviour and make it more ecological and long term.
