Sustainability is an obligation
Oerlikon Balzers is committed to the principles of sustainability. The development of the company and its business is governed by economic, ecological and social aspects.
Oerlikon Balzers' products combine economic and ecological benefits in an ideal way. Coated tools and components provide a measurable economic benefit and reduce the environmental impact in a number of ways:
| • |
The use of coolants, lubricants and release agents and their consequent disposal are minimised or avoided completely.
|
| • |
The longer service life of tools and consequent higher manufacturing quality reduce rejects and the consumption of valuable raw materials. |
| • |
In motor vehicles, fuel consumption and pollutant emissions are reduced by the use of BALINIT®-coated components. |
| • |
Coated components extend the service life of machines and lead to longer service intervals, diminishing the consumption of valuable resources. |
Oerlikon Balzers coating processes are very environmentally friendly and their ecological compatibility is continually being improved. Unlike other surface treatment processes, they produce no polluting emissions or waste products.
As a company with world-wide activities and a member of the Oerlikon Group, Oerlikon Balzers supports the guidelines defined by the UN in the Global Compact project for the promotion of environmental protection, human rights, and labour standards.
