As Olimpia, we do not focus on growth or only the environment, but we care more about development than growth on a long-term perspective having regard to social impacts in addition to environmental impact.

Our Executive Board and Board of Directors, consisting of experienced, young and dynamic members, aim to develop by making smart environmentalist and sustainable plans in every field together with medium and long-term strategic capacity planning. As required by our management system, risk and opportunity assessments are periodically addressed in our managerial and support processes.

Although we do not have a production structure that results to a lot of environmental waste in our production activities compared to other sectors, energy consumption constitutes the majority of our carbon footprint. Our in-plant energy recycling projects and low-consumption lighting elements have allowed us to improve the energy and labour consumption per unit production. Our new facility investments have been oriented towards renewable energy sources. Digital quality control technologies empower us to sort out faulty products as scrap at the stage where they cause the least carbon emission on the production line. We also contribute to energy consumption with the efficiency achieved through lean production techniques. We prevent possible energy and water losses instantly by monitoring all our processes simultaneously by remote digital monitoring apps and measurement methods. Our logistics activities are optimised taking into account CO2 emissions. During annual investment assessments, we ensure the continuity of all these areas. Preparations on obtaining the ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management Certificate have been started, and the first steps of green consensus will be taken in the near future.

On the other hand, our technical team continuously follow the EV’s, Connected Vehicle and Car Pooling programs and trends, and try to perform product integrations relevant to these developments in order to understand and meet the expectations of our customers on matters such as lifelong measuring and reducing of emissions in vehicles where our products are used.

For our promotional and distribution products, we have opted for projects related to forestation and recyclable products for a long time now. 

By implementing a low-carbon production and economic model, we are in a constant endeavour to increase our global commercial competitiveness and to turn this transformation continuously into an opportunity.
