Our Ambitions
Our Strategies
RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT
Resources: we innovate and implement technological processes to valorise resources for various applications, all which contribute to accelerating the circular economy sustainably.
Reduction of climate impacts: make improvements and implement efficient measures in our own operations; and along the value chain through continuous cooperation with suppliers, customers, and affected communities on data sharing, reporting, and impact reduction.
Pollution control: we process IBA to the maximum level to avoid landfilling; testing and controlling of material quality and chemical use, parallelly preventing impacts on the open environment.
Water management:we treat and recycle water, assuring water efficiency and avoiding wastewater discharge to the surrounding environment.
Biodiversity and ecosystem services: we limit contamination, material leakage, and waste generation to support the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
CARE
We implement various H&S training and measures to provide a healthy, safe, and pleasant environment for our own employees as well as to support similar working environment for the employees of our suppliers and customers upstream and downstream of the value chain.
TRUST
We implement a digital platform for sustainability to share data and impacts, and enable accountability, transparency, and collaboration in our own operations, and with external stakeholders to ensure collaborative efforts and continuous improvements along the value chain.
Turning strategies into concrete actions
We are committed to transparency and accountability in our sustainability efforts. Through regular assessments and monitoring of our environmental performance, we identify areas for improvement and strive for continuous progress towards our sustainability goals.
Climate Mitigation
In 2023, in the UK, we installed two solar panel systems, purchased renewable electricity from the grid, thus making three operational sites fully carbon neutral. We also purchased 715,000 kWh of electricity generated from waste over 2,230,000 kWh of electricity used. Also in the UK, 880,000 liters of hydrotreated vegetable oil was used, replacing 88% of fossil-based diesel consumption.
Operational efficiency
Our sustainability efforts go beyond just the renewable deployment solutions. Improving our operations has already started for years. We keep working on various saving measures such as using energy-efficient lighting, new compressed air compressors, and energy-efficient motors.
Pollution control
Our operational sites are conducted in a way to minimize the risk of any pollution. We use various methods to control spillages and dispose of contaminants in line with the legislation in the regions where we operate. All of our sites possess permits for waste handling, and restrictions to noise emissions, and water and air pollution.
Most of our sites have ISO 9001 for Quality management and/or ISO 140001. If not, we have similar certificates in compliance with local regulations.
Water Management
Blue Phoenix’s strategy on water focuses on three main pillars: water efficiency, water conservation, and compliance with regulations. We implement good management practices including rainwater catchment, closed-loop water system, and minimal water withdrawal. We strive to use water most efficiently and responsibly and ensure a low water footprint of our products.
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Conservation
At Blue Phoenix, we believe that our business is a part of the sustainable solutions to biodiversity and ecosystem conservation. We strive to optimise our business operations to protect nature and make contributions to restore biodiversity and maintain good ecosystem services through the way we sort, process, recover resources from IBA and beyond.
In all our operational sites, we are fully complied with the regional and local regulations for our operations. Since we do not have wastewater discharge or leakage to the open environment, our biodiversity and ecosystem impacts are nearly zero or negligible.
Community engagement
We understand that it is our role to not only make a positive contribution to society at large, but to also ensure that we are operating locally in a safe and responsible manner. We believe in engaging with local communities to foster sustainability awareness and promote positive environmental impacts. Through outreach programs, educational initiatives and community partnerships, we empower individuals to participate in sustainable practices.
Healthy, safe, and pleasant working environment for all
In 2023, our Global Policies were established. It is a compilation of mandatory global fundamental policies complying with global guidelines and legislations for corporates. The content of the Global Policies covers diverse topics such as Human and Labour Rights, Well-being Policy, Internal Sustainability Guidelines, and Health and Safety. The implementation of the Global Policies is to create, maintain, and ensure a healthy, safe, and pleasant working environment for our employees and for the workers along the value chain.
Corporate culture and Business conduct
At Blue Phoenix, we strive to maintain a healthy corporate culture with a high level of integrity, guiding our employees on professional communication and behaviors as internal teams as well as in interactions and collaborations with external stakeholders. We believe that through a good business conduct policy, we have a strong business and keep growing organically with reputation and recognition.
