Environmental protection is a key component of Almatis's philosophy.

In recent years, we have established our own global standards, such as the Almatis Business System (ABS) and Six Sigma for critical environmental, health and safety issues.

In our daily work we actively seek ways of implementing environmentally sustainable practices in order to reduce emissions, conserve natural resources and eliminate waste. This has resulted in us winning green supplierawards from customers.

All Almatis manufacturing facilities comply with corresponding laws, regulations and other requirements, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 to ensure high and consistent quality, while protecting the environment as well as our employees and contractors.

First facilities are already certified for the environmental standard ISO 50001.
