Quality and Environment

Protecting the environment, improving safe working conditions, and preventing pollution are consistently among LINET Group’s highest priorities and form an integral part of our responsible business approach.

Environmental strategy

Thinking responsibly throughout the whole product life-cycle process.

Product life-cycle

We strive to extend the life-cycle of our products through the use of high-quality materials, advanced technologies, and professional, reliable After Sales services. By focusing on durability, serviceability, and long-term product performance, we support activities that contribute to the circular economy and help reduce the overall environmental impact throughout the product life-cycle.

Our approach considers environmental responsibility across every stage of the process - from development and production to usage, service, and end-of-life management.

Initiatives

We actively support initiatives that contribute to environmental protection and continuously seek new ways to encourage more sustainable and environmentally responsible practices across the company.

Key priorities include waste sorting, reducing environmental impact, and implementing energy-efficient solutions throughout our facilities. During corporate events, we avoid non-recyclable disposable items and prioritise locally produced products, ecological packaging, and practical, sustainable complementary gifts.

We also strive to maximise energy efficiency through the use of more economical technologies and devices. When purchasing company vehicles, we prioritise investments in electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.

Waste management

Effective waste management is an important part of LINET Group’s environmental responsibility strategy. We continuously work to minimise waste generation and increase the share of waste directed towards material recovery and energy recovery instead of landfill disposal.

Currently, only 11% of LINET Group’s waste production is sent to landfill, while 85% consists of recyclable waste and an additional 4% is used for energy recovery. These measures support our ongoing commitment to more sustainable operations and responsible resource management.

Water

The amount of wastewater released into the natural environment is aligned with LINET Group’s long-term water management goals. Wastewater quality is maintained at a sustainable level through compliance with applicable environmental standards and permitted pollutant limits.

To further improve discharge quality, we operate a modern wastewater treatment plant and continuously work to prevent incidents that could negatively impact underground or surface water resources.

Materials and Packaging

LINET Group uses materials with minimal environmental impact and strictly avoids substances considered hazardous to human health or the environment, including cadmium, mercury, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, and freons.

None of the wooden components used in our products are made from tropical woods such as mahogany, rosewood, ebony, or teak, nor from wood originating from the Amazon region or similar rainforest areas.

Our products are designed with sustainability in mind and contain recyclable steel, plastic, and electronic components to support efficient recycling and responsible end-of-life product management.

Transport and Shipping

LINET Group continuously works to build a distribution network that is efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible. As part of this approach, we focus on reducing fuel consumption and collaborate closely with suppliers and partners on improvements that support more sustainable transport and logistics operations.

We also encourage the use of low-emission corporate vehicles and support environmentally friendly commuting options, including cycling, car sharing, and public transportation.

Carbon footprint

LINET Group is committed to reducing its carbon footprint by at least 55% by 2030, with the long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. To support these objectives, LINET Group continuously implements measures focused on reducing energy consumption, optimising the use of natural resources and raw materials, minimising waste generation, and increasing the use of renewable energy sources.

At the same time, we continuously improve operational efficiency and energy performance across our production facilities and business activities to support more sustainable and responsible operations throughout the Group.

Certified quality management system

In LINET Group, we have implemented an integrated management system to ensure the highest possible quality of our products, and independent international certification authorities have confirmed its effectiveness. 
 
We proudly holds QMS (Quality System Management) and EMS (Environmental Management System) certificates according to the international standards ISO, MDSAP and MDR.
 
We operate under the environmental management system that complies with the internationally recognised ISO 14001 standards.

Medical device regulation

The MDR introduces new and stricter requirements for the placement of medical devices and their distribution within the EU with the main goal to improve clinical safety and traceability of all medical devices.
It also introduces the new central European Database on Medical Devices (EUDAMED), where all medical devices placed on the EU market will be registered, and much more.
 
In August 2021 we have already succesfully passed quality system audit according Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Medical Devices (MDR).
