Social and Environmental Responsibility

 

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility program, we have made a major commitment to reducing the impact of our activities on the environment. We are promoting good environmental management practices across all of our products and business processes.

Mircom takes environmental and social responsibility seriously.
If we can reduce the amount of waste that is produced, we are conserving resources and limiting the need to reuse or recycle. Working together, we can make a world a better place to live not only for each other, but also for generations to come.

  • Reducing our Environmental Footprint: Mircom is dedicated to applying sound environmental practices to all aspects of our operations.  We strive to minimize both our consumption of resources, including energy, paper and water, and the generation of waste and emissions. We work with our partners; customers, suppliers and employees, to create opportunities where these reductions can be leveraged and replicated through our network of influence. 
  • Energy Consumption: Mircom has implemented additional lighting control features to minimize electrical consumption throughout it’s facility.  This supplements the energy savings from the natural light available through various skylights in both the manufacturing and office areas.
  • Paper Consumption: Mircom has reviewed the quantity of paper utilised in the manuals shipped with each product and has begun to substitute paper manuals with electronic versions, shipped with each unit.  This allows customers to view the information electronically, printing only the pages they require.  This reduction in paper use provides multiple contributions to our environmental policy as there is an associated reduction in energy consumption for copying services and a reduction in the chemicals used in the reproduction process.
  • Metal Work & Printed Circuit Boards: Mircom recycles 100% of all metal work
    by-products and all printed circuit board processing materials.
  • Recycling and E-Waste: Mircom will accept, returned products for recycling and disposal.  The recycling / e-waste program is part of our Return Material Authorization process. Please visit www.mircom.com/support  for more information on how to participate in our recycling initiative.
  • Product Offering: Mircom implements innovative, practical and cost-effective techniques in the design and manufacturing of its product offerings. We strive to fabricate all our products locally to minimize transportation and logistic footprints. As one of the only vertically integrated life safety manufacturers in North America, we are able to minimize the impact transportation has on the environment. In our efforts, we will continue to seek out processes and procedures which promote environmental sustainability and provide multinational business benefits.
  • Compliance: Mircom will continue to manage all aspects of our operations to ensure environmental laws and recognized industry standards are met or exceeded.

As a Mircom customer, you play an active role in Mircom’s environmental effort.

Let’s work together for the sake of our shared planet.
