1. Our Environmental Commitment

At Nuaflex, we recognize that industrial progress must not come at the expense of our planet. As a global manufacturer of flexible metal hose solutions, we acknowledge our responsibility to minimize the environmental impact of our operations and products. We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that protects the environment, conserves resources, and supports the well-being of future generations.

This Environmental Policy outlines our dedication to sustainable practices and serves as a framework for setting and reviewing our environmental objectives. It applies to all Nuaflex facilities, operations, and employees worldwide.

2. Guiding Principles

Our approach to environmental stewardship is guided by the following core principles:

• Compliance: We are committed to complying with all applicable local, national, and international environmental laws, regulations, and standards.
• Prevention: We prioritize pollution prevention and waste minimization at the source over end-of-pipe solutions.
• Continuous Improvement: We strive to continually improve our environmental management systems and performance.
• Transparency: We are open about our environmental impact and engage with stakeholders to address their concerns.

3. Key Focus Areas

To translate our commitment into action, Nuaflex focuses its environmental efforts on the following key areas:

3.1 Sustainable Manufacturing

We integrate environmental considerations into our manufacturing processes to reduce our ecological footprint.

• Energy Efficiency: We actively monitor energy consumption and invest in energy-efficient machinery and lighting systems to reduce our carbon footprint.
• Waste Management: We adhere to the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” hierarchy. We aim to minimize scrap metal generation, recycle production waste (such as stainless steel offcuts), and responsibly dispose of any hazardous materials.
• Water Conservation: We implement measures to reduce water usage in our cleaning and testing processes and ensure that all wastewater is treated effectively before discharge.

3.2 Product Lifecycle Responsibility

Our commitment extends beyond our factory walls to the lifecycle of our products.

• Durability by Design: By engineering long-lasting, high-quality metal hoses, we reduce the frequency of replacement and the associated resource consumption.
• Material Selection: We utilize recyclable materials, primarily stainless steel, ensuring that our products can be reclaimed and reused at the end of their service life rather than ending up in landfills.
• Leak Prevention: Our leak-proof hose solutions directly contribute to environmental protection by preventing the escape of hazardous fluids and gases in our customers’ applications.

3.3 Supply Chain Engagement

We believe that sustainability is a collective effort.

• Supplier Expectations: We encourage our suppliers and contractors to adopt environmentally responsible practices and comply with applicable environmental regulations.
• Logistics: We work to optimize our logistics and packaging to reduce emissions associated with transportation and minimize packaging waste.

4. Employee Awareness and Training

We believe that environmental responsibility starts with our people.

• Training: We provide training to employees to raise awareness of environmental issues and ensure they understand their role in implementing this policy.
• Empowerment: We encourage employees to identify opportunities for energy saving and waste reduction in their daily work.

5. Governance and Review

Nuaflex management is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of this Environmental Policy.

• Monitoring: We regularly monitor and measure our environmental performance against established targets.
• Review: This policy is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with emerging environmental challenges and opportunities.

By adhering to this policy, Nuaflex demonstrates that industrial excellence and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand. We are proud to build connections that not only power industry but also protect our world.
