ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE
MATERIALITY MATRIX
The materiality matrix is a tool used in the corporate environment to identify our company’s priorities. It summarizes a set of topics selected according to market research and the objectives set by Poltank.
The tool helps us visualize which issues are to be prioritized, both for us and for our customers, and to act accordingly.

SUSTAINABILITY
WHAT DOES WATER MEAN TO YOU?
Clean water and its treatment is the sixth Sustainablex Development Goal. The UN outlines a number of issues that highlight the value of this natural resource and invite reflection:
• 3 out of 10 people do not have access to safe drinking water services.
• More than 80% of the wastewater resulting from human activities is discharged without prior treatment.
• Approximately 70% of all water extracted from rivers, lakes and aquifers is used for irrigation.
At Poltank, we design products that promote water savings, integrating collecting systems such as nozzle plates.
For more information, we invite you to explore our catalog and our various applications in filtration systems. We are at your disposal to offer solutions and, together, reverse the data.

WE OFFER INNOVATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS THAT TRANSFORM THE WAY YOU ENJOY WATER.
Aware of the importance of environmental protection and the efficient use of resources, Poltank has chosen to voluntarily adhere to the ISO 14001 management system and to Regulation (EC) No. 1221/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).
POLTANK IS CONTINUOUSLY CONDUCTING RESEARCH TO MINIMIZE ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS.
CLIMATE ACTION
CLEAN ENERGY CONSUMPTION
100% of the electrical energy consumed in all our facilities comes from clean sources (Green Energy Class A). Also, at Poltank, we want to consolidate relationships with suppliers that increase the flow of green energy in accordance with the seventh Sustainable Development Goal.
Axpo produces and supplies CO2-free electricity, relying on hydroelectric, solar, wind and biomass energy.

WASTE ACTION
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Responsible production and consumption is the twelfth Sustainable Development Goal adopted by the UN. To achieve this goal, it is urgent to reduce our ecological footprint and manage waste more efficiently.
In addition to treating waste in accordance with current legislation, Poltank prioritizes recovery as a management method. Currently, the R&D department is investigating how to breathe new life into our waste.
COMMUNITY
HUMAN RESOURCES IS ONE OF THE GREAT VALUES OF OUR COMPANY.
The Poltank community is not limited to our employees, but also includes suppliers, business
partners, customers and neighbors.

COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
We believe that communication with local stakeholders is vital when planning and making decisions about projects that have an impact on local communities.
As neighbors, in addition to generating job opportunities and fostering communication with the municipality, we seek to create community by collaborating with social projects in the territory.
As an EMAS registered company, we select our suppliers according to environmental and life cycle criteria. By working with local suppliers, we are able to reduce emissions associated with transportation and boost the local economy.

OUR GOAL
PREVENT OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS

As a company, we have a responsibility to minimize potential hazards and ensure the safety of our employees. That is why we are committed to reducing the accident rate through the improvement of facilities, training, the development of protocols and internal audits to ensure compliance with the Health and Safety policy.
These measures not only have had a positive impact on the accident rate, they have also helped to improve the ergonomics of the work environment and optimize the production process. For example, during 2019 and 2020, the weight to be handled, movements during the working day and overturns in production have all been reduced.
