Environmental Policy
At Pime Label, our fundamental commitment is to minimise our environmental impact in all our activities, to use natural resources sustainably and to leave a liveable world to future generations. To this end:
Waste management
We ensure that waste is reduced at source and that recovery, recycling and disposal are carried out in accordance with the relevant legislation. We commit to reducing the use of single-use materials and to supporting the circular economy.
Preventing deforestation
For all paper and wood-based materials we use, we prefer suppliers certified for sustainable forest management (FSC, PEFC, etc.) and support no practice that would contribute to deforestation.
Protecting oceans and water
We use efficient technologies to minimise our water consumption and apply wastewater management rigorously to prevent the pollution of water resources. We take preventive measures so that microplastics and chemical discharges do not reach aquatic ecosystems.
Protecting biodiversity
We take care to protect biodiversity in our areas of operation, avoid practices that could cause habitat loss and encourage projects that support wildlife.
GHS and chemical management
We ensure that chemicals are classified, labelled and used safely under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), and we regularly train our employees for their safety. We keep a transparent inventory of hazardous chemicals and follow safe storage and disposal procedures.
Air emissions
We implement clean technology and energy efficiency measures to minimise greenhouse gases and other air pollutants from our production processes, and we set reduction targets by regularly monitoring our carbon footprint.
Regulatory compliance
We commit to complying with the legislation of the Republic of Türkiye, relevant international environmental legislation, standards and customer requirements to protect the environment and reduce pollution.
