As a part of Genan’s strategic and persistently systematic work on Quality, Environment, Health & Safety and Energy Management, we follow the requirements outlined in the following four international standards: ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management) and ISO 50001 (energy management). Thanks to operational excellence and cross-factory knowledge sharing as well as the determined efforts of Genan staff at all locations, we have managed to achieve these globally valid certifications of our six tyre recycling plants. In December 2021, all six factories were audited by certification company GUTcert, and we now proudly present the result: four separate ISO certifications, each covering all six Genan plants. These four ISO certificates illustrate the strict requirements we impose on ourselves in respect of both quality, workplace safety, environmental responsibility as well as when it comes to structuring our energy management for energy-saving operation at all Genan plants –striving for a sustainable future.

As a strong support to our company values, Transparency, Quality and Innovation, we now present the Genan SCAN4DATA application. We experience an increasing demand for documentation and proof of origin from our surroundings, such as customers, public authorities, environmental organisations, etc. Therefore, we have launched the Genan SCAN4DATA application, which is an innovative tool providing full transparency of the quality scores of your Genan products. By scanning the QR codes on your received Big Bags, the app allows you to access all technical product information like Technical Data Sheets (TDS), Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Sieve curves – and you can even find quality test results from the Genan laboratory and from external laboratories as well. All data is presented on screen and is also available for download. To access you just need to follow this link on your phone or tablet: https://scan.genan.com/

The first Delegated Act about sustainable finance has been enacted and passed by the EU. The Act includes 6 categories – among them is climate change mitigation. Sustainability is the core of everything in Genan. It is in the very DNA of the company and its employees. To Genan, sustainability means aiming for a greener planet by doing our best in all of our processes from the intake of end-of-life tyres to the production of clean, high-quality products. Now, these values are put into practice in the EU taxonomy. Genan is in full alignment with the newly approved standards and thus classified as a sustainable investment in terms of climate change mitigation. It is vital to direct investments towards sustainable projects and activities to meet the EU’s climate and energy targets for 2030 and reach the objectives of the European Green Deal. To do so, a common language and a clear definition of what is ‘sustainable’ is a must – an “EU taxonomy”. The EU taxonomy is a classification system, establishing a list of environmentally sustainable, economic activities, and it entails several advantages; it plays an important role helping the EU scale up sustainable investment and implement the European Green Deal; it provides companies, investors and policymakers with definitions for which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable; and it protects investors from greenwashing. Genan is proud to be considered a sustainable investment according to the EU taxonomy. Read more about the EU taxonomy here. Read the Commission Delegated Regulation here.
