SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (SUSTAINABILITY)
At ELTOP, sustainable development is a key pillar of its business strategy.
We perceive sustainable development as a necessity for responsibility but also as a business opportunity aimed at shaping a better future for people and the environment.
Our company applies a corporate responsibility program that is at the heart of the planning of every business action. A programme which includes a series of targeted actions that reflect its principles & guide its business activities. We prioritize employees, interaction with the local community, the market & the environment.
Environment | Environmental sensitivity
Our company focuses on realizing opportunities that minimize the environmental impact of our operations & the production process of our products.
- Waste management includes recycling procedures (separation of metals, wood, and paper).
- Selection of primary materials from recycled materials (chipboard, laminate etc.)
- Optimising the supply chain with a focus on the environmental footprint.
- Selection of suppliers that follow green certifications such as ISO 14000, FSC and PEFC.

Marketplace | Responsible management for innovation with awareness
The durability of our materials represents the starting point of our sustainability strategy. We are committed to offer our customers high quality products with high mechanical strength (resistance to heat, impact, etching, moisture, discoloration) intended for many years of use. The longer the life of a product, the longer the period of time to reduce the environmental impacts associated with the production of raw materials & the manufacturing process. By implying fewer replacements, long-life products imply less resource use, lower emissions & less waste than short-life products. At the same time, we launch every action that supports customers & suppliers in realizing their sustainability challenges.
Society | Relationships with the local community
Our company’s interaction with the local community is of major importance.
The company carries out a high level of recruitment of people from the wider areas of its facilities. The same criterion is used to select its partners.
It also very often provides practical support & offers assistance to vulnerable social groups & citizens of the local community. The following program includes a series of targeted actions to local organizations such as associations, kindergartens, schools, public health clinics etc. with donations of materials to cover their needs.
