Our Approach to Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
At Özgüven Döküm, we view sustainability not only as an environmental obligation, but also as a key component of our long-term competitive strength. We are committed to developing sustainable solutions that address both current and future needs through an environmentally conscious, human-centered, and resource-efficient production approach.
Our green transformation journey reflects a multi-dimensional shift that spans the entire spectrum of our operations—from production to supply chain, energy use to waste management. Our goal is to minimize our environmental impact and build a more efficient, resilient, and ethically driven production model.
Özgüven Döküm’s Green Transformation Journey
The core objective of Özgüven Döküm’s green transformation is to establish a sustainable and competitive production model by reducing environmental impacts. Our improvement plans include a broad range of strategies such as increasing energy efficiency, lowering our carbon footprint, enhancing emissions control, and optimizing resource utilization.
Short-Term Goals: Enhancing Energy Efficiency and Minimizing Environmental Risks
In the short term, our focus is on identifying and eliminating inefficiencies within existing production processes by addressing energy losses. Specifically:
- Conducting detailed energy audits to monitor consumption points,
- Managing energy-intensive processes more efficiently,
- Developing data monitoring systems to uncover energy-saving opportunities,
- Leveraging data analysis to realize measurable energy savings,
- Reducing maintenance and operational costs.
Medium-Term Goals: Efficient Resource Use and Circular Economy
In the medium term, we aim to go beyond energy efficiency and focus on maximizing resource utilization. Key initiatives include:
- Recovering waste heat from processes to reduce fossil fuel consumption—resulting in lower operating costs and decreased carbon emissions,
- Integrating renewable energy sources to reduce dependency on external power and strengthen system self-sufficiency,
- Improving operational efficiency and reducing production costs through environmentally focused strategies,
- Utilizing thermal reclamation systems to recover waste sand from molding processes—contributing to the circular economy by:
- Decreasing raw material consumption,
- Improving waste management,
- Enhancing product quality.
Long-Term Goals: Digitalization and Corporate Sustainability
Our long-term strategy is centered around integrating sustainability into corporate culture and solidifying it through digitalization. This includes:
- Quantifying the environmental impact of our products through carbon footprint analysis,
- Systematically monitoring this data to ensure internal auditing and transparency in global markets.
Further initiatives include:
- Applying sustainability criteria across our supply chain,
- Proactively complying with environmental regulations,
- Enhancing indoor air quality through dust control systems,
- Supporting renewable energy performance—each forming a vital part of our long-term transformation goals.
