In partnership with nature
The core value of Upofloor’s environmental philosophy is that we are ethically and ecologically responsible for our products at every stage of their life cycle. We focus on making our products and production methods as environmentally sound as possible.
We have implemented an ISO 14001 –based environmental standard as a part of our overall system of operations. The environmental part of this system affecting all company operations is certified in 2002.
We participate in several recycling projects and strive to ensure an environmentally safe future.
Commitment to the future
Upofloor is committed to the environmental issues and manufactures high quality floorings in a way that minimises the energy load during production and use (raw materials, manufacturing, installation, cleaning, recycling).
In January 2001 Upofloor was granted a quality system certificate in accordance with SFS-EN ISO 9001 standard. Det Norske Veritas Certification Ltd authorized the certificate.
The ISO-certification covers all operations including product marketing, R&D, manufacturing and all the related operations and processes. The system has also been the guideline for the development and implementation of the environmental system as well as the occupational health and safety systems.
ISO 14001 Environmental system
The dynamic environmental system, based on the ISO 14001 standard, is a practical tool for reducing the environmental load and developing the reuse of the products. The system helps to control risks and promotes environmentally sustainable development.
Best Emission Class M1
All Upofloor products are environmentally friendly and safe to use throughout their life cycle. Our floorings meet the requirements set for the M1 class in building materials, which indicates minimal emissions.
