Vikan products in relation to environmental issues and REACH
The Vikan Group is certified according to ISO 14001 and therefore we meet the
requirements of reducing the use of energy, carbon dioxide etc. and thus a matter of course
that we have current focus on environmental issues.
The Vikan Group ensures that we both follow the local, the national and the international
legislations at each of our production facilities.
The Vikan Group ensures that all waste is sorted according to local environmental
regulations and is utilized or used for heating in approved district heating plants.
Dangerous waste is labeled, stored and handled according to the authorities’ directions and
sent to environmental approved depots.
The majority of our outer packaging material is reused cardboard. All plastic and cardboard
received from suppliers are either being reused or recycled.
We are following the REACH regulations 1907/2006, which aims to improve the protection
of human health and the environment. The Vikan Group ensures that chemicals used in
production or for finished products (articles) are documented with respect to REACH.
The candidate list from REACH with Substance of very high concern (SVHC) is continuously
updated and counts 155 substances with the latest update 16th June 2014.
We commit ourselves to inform you immediately if we receive information related to our
products identifying additional or more severe hazards, and/or additional or more stringent
risk management measures than previously known.
We believe that everyone must actively participate in protecting our environment and our
natural resources. Therefore, through active environmental management, we will work to
