Responsibility & Sustainability
Green has been our corporate colour since the company was founded. Today Green is our corporate rallying cry, our commitment to a sustainable future.
Gellowen Believed that building sustainable business practices to enhance the value of the company is in the best interest of our company, our associates, our suppliers, our customers and our community. We also understand that our customers have sustainability initiatives and Gellowen is committed to helping them achieve their sustainability goals.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
For Gellowen, business isn’t just about making money now; it’s about financial sustainability, about operating our business in such a way that it can always prosper. Gellowen has positioned itself for long-term success by establishing everything from global and regional supply chain management policies and programs to worldwide financial and accounting standards. We understand that the way we use resources today will shape the world of tomorrow.
PEOPLE
When you employ people in every continent, diversity is something you don’t just think about; you live it. Gellowen works to make our company inclusive at every level, because we know that a variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, abilities, and other distinguishing qualities creates a stronger company of creativity, innovation, and success.
PROCUREMENT
Gellowen is also working to drive sustainable business practices into our supply chain by educating our suppliers on the value of sustainability and driving innovation among our suppliers to better meet the needs of our customers. We will be developing a Supplier Sustainability Charter to help our suppliers uphold the appropriate environmental, labor, community, and business principles. This will help to raise awareness and provide support to our supply base to build the tenets of sustainability into their operations.
PLANET
Planet represents Gellowen’s impact on the environment. Our objective is to help Gellowen promote environmental protection. There are 3 areas of focus under Planet: Waster &Recycling, Energy & Emissions, and Packaging & Transport.
Ø Waste & Recycling
Many of our facilities have programs in place to recycle cardboard, office paper, bottles, and cans. The company is aligning around waste management programs focused on increasing landfill diversion through expanding recycling solutions.
Ø Energy & Emissions
Analysing carbon emissions, retrofitting facilities, and improving building performance.
Ø Packaging & Transport
The use of reusable packaging effectively stops waste at the packaging source to prevent the entry of disposable packaging in the solid waste stream. We use reusable transport packaging, not only will the reduce labor, shipping and waste disposal costs, but will make a positive impact on the environment. We have an improved transportation efficiency, which results in fewer trips and reduced fuel costs.
