Liko

We know that we are a part of an international community and that our actions affect the global and regional environment.

We therefore always aim to minimize our environmental impact by choosing material with the least environmental impact. We seek to minimize our use of water and energy, and to reduce emissions to air and discharges to water and ground.

The fact that Liko is certified in accordance with ISO 14001 shows that we work in a systematic way to control our environmental impact. Below are some samples of what we do practically to minimize our environmental impact.

Purchasing

The environmental aspect is always an important factor when we make decisions about the choice of supplier. We compare factors like choice of material, transport and production methods, for instance.

Communication

Hill-Rom is a global company. To reduce travel and to render time more effective, we use modern techniques for meetings.

Heating

Heating the large buildings at our Liko head office in Luleå during the cold winters in the north of Sweden is normally associated with large energy consumption. Therefore, we have made a big investment in one of the region's largest ground-source heat pump installations.

Aluminium

The fact that we have chosen to produce many of our products from aluminium is not a coincidence. Aluminium is produced from bauxite, which exists in almost unlimited amounts. Aluminium is also recyclable; infinitel, in principle. Besides being a good choice from an environmental point of view, it is also a practical choice because it means that our products are both strong and light, something our customers appreciate.

Waste and Recycling

Of course, we sort the waste from all activities and recycle all recyclable material.
