The Switch

Environmental responsibility

We are dedicated to the battle against climate change and preserving the world’s energy resources. The fragile balance between ecology and productivity is our challenge.

Care for the environment is one of our core values and our cutting-edge technology is our contribution to combat climate change. We are committed to preserving the world’s energy resources. Our facilities are powered by electricity produced from wind power. We use all our resources efficiently and minimize waste. Electrical communication replaces traditional communication whenever possible to avoid unnecessary paper waste.

As part of our environmental policy, we make sure that our production minimizes the load on the environment. Our production facilities strive for efficiency with careful planning and monitoring of all processes. Every The Switch production facility is fully compliant with ISO 9001 standards. And our next immediate aim is to reach ISO 14001 standards, starting with our Chinese operations. We use high-quality raw materials and we provide end-of-life treatment recommendations for our products. Through our membership in REITA, the Rare Earth Industry and Technology Association, we take an active approach to create standards of excellence when it comes to using rare earth materials.

Our production is based on our Model Factory approach and its best practice. Setting up our production near our customer locations helps us to reduce the strain on environment that is caused by transportation.

Waste disposal has been arranged to always meet local laws and regulations, and our production facilities obey a strict policy in handling chemicals.
