Sustainability and respect for the environment are at the core of our actions, partnerships, and commercial products and services in Eye Networks.
With a long-term perspective, good planning, knowledge and communication, we will follow our environmental policy and together contribute to achieving the UN’s sustainable development goals.
Recycle
We offer refurbishment as a service for a number of our products. This means that we take used devices and make them virtually as good as new products. This saves both costs and the environment.
Refurbishment applies to functional units. Devices that turn out not to be functional are handled safely as electronic waste.
Reduce
We use environmentally friendly shipping options wherever possible: Shipments from abroad are mainly made by boat, and we avoid air freight in most cases.
More sustainable shipping options require time and planning. We have an environmental fee for CPEs that are not ordered or forecasted at least 3 months in advance. Thus we reward customers who shop more sustainably.
Digitize
Eye Networks is a paperless business.
We rely as much as possible on digitized processes and digital communication, internally and externally.
We produce a minimum of paper-based documentation, and our marketing material is primarily digital and designed for reuse by our customers.
Our Environmental Policy
We aim to ensure the most environmentally friendly and sustainable operation possible, including the delivery of our products and services. We do this by:
Considering the environment
as a natural and integral part of the business
Satisfying environmental requirements
and regulations from public authorities
Identifying and reducing
possible sources of pollution
Striving for minimal use
of consumables
Possessing competence
and up to date knowledge on environmentally friendly solutions
Continuously maintaining
and improving our environmental performance
Our work with climate issues, the environment and working environment, including implemented measures, results and climate accounting, is also the subject of this annual report (Norwegian only).
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals were created to achieve a better and more sustainable future for everyone and address global challenges around poverty and inequality, climate and environment, prosperity, peace and justice. At Eye Networks, we have chosen to focus on these four sustainability goals:
Good education
Acquiring a good education is the basis for improving people’s lives and ensuring sustainable development.
Equality
Equality is not only a basic human right, but a necessary basis for a peaceful, well-functioning and sustainable world.
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Investments in infrastructure are essential to achieve sustainable development.
Responsible production and consumption
By raising awareness of responsible production and consumption, a circle is formed that ensures sustainable development.
