Zenitel - Greener Future

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE Zenitel operates at the cross road of two worlds – communication on the one hand, security and safety on the other, both with the same destination: a greener future.

« It is not enough for us to only provide safety and good communication through our products – by following our values we provide safety and good communication throughout our whole organization.»

LET’S TALK HEALTH Our Values help us to maintain a healthy organization, with healthy and motivated employees: PRIDE - We are proud of who we are and what we do ACCOUNTABILITY - We follow through on our commitments RESULTS - We want to create value for our Customers, Suppliers, Employees and Shareholders TEAM WORK - We work as one team INNOVATION - Our company culture fosters creativity, continuous improvement and innovation

LET’S TALK SAFETY To ensure that the way we run our company is of the highest possible standard, it is important to us to meet the highest internationally recognized standards of quality, environment and safety. This means that we, including our contract manufacturer, are certified for the ISO 9001 Quality Standard, the ISO 14001 Environmental Standard and the OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Standard.

Zenitel Norway complies with the REACH European Directive N 1907/2006 related to the registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals to protect human life and the environment.

« As experts within safety and communication, it is our goal and focus to provide the highest quality in every stage of production, in our work place and in the final stage: in the hand of our customers.»

« Being environmentally friendly is all in the details, and every step towards helping the environment is worth taking.

That’s why we focus on less printing, recycling, updating technology frequently and less travelling for business.»

LET’S TALK ENVIRONMENT We reduce paper usage in our offices, every employee has to swipe their ID card at the printer station. This helps to eradicate unnecessary printing. We virtualize our servers, by doing this we use less electricity and produce less hardware.

We renew our technology every 5 years. This means that we are always in front when it comes to technological innovation, keeping us up to date on the most environmentally friendly technology.

We always recycle our hardware. Everything is delivered to a company that refurbishes our products, and makes sure everything is recycled.

We use video conference calls. Our video conference solution allows us to travel less, reducing our carbon footprint.

THREE STEPS OF INNOVATION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT To make sure we serve our planet right, we work towards having sustainable processes in place throughout the value chain.

1. REDUCE PRODUCTION WASTE: We replace hardware with software through our IP-technology.

This can be used with existing products, meaning that we reduce the amount of hardware needed to renew an entire system. Zenitel complies with the European WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive for environmental conservation, ensuring that discarded equipment is recycled appropriately 2. GREEN PASSPORT: We recycle materials wherever we can, making sure that every hazardous substance is taken into account. We have a lead-free process. Zenitel Marine complies with the IMO resolution A.962 Clean Design/Green Passport by documenting all materials in a vessel’s construction that may be hazardous to humans or the environment.

3. LEAN LOGISTICS: We eliminate wasteful activities in our supply chain to reduce the environmental impact. We keep stock levels to a minimum source components locally where possible, to minimize transport and storage. Globally, suppliers, distributors and customers are encouraged to conduct business in an environmentally responsible manner
