Our environmental work
Hjärt & Kärlcentrum conducts active environmental work and is environmentally certified according to ISO 14001:2015. To facilitate this work and meet the requirements of ISO 14001, we have drawn up an internal environmental manual with a description of management systems, goals and action plans. Our operations in Skärholmen are carried out in collaboration with Stena Recycling, which weighs each waste fraction and delivers statistics on an ongoing basis. Twice a year, a couple of hours are set aside for the entire staff for environmental issues and these are also discussed at all workplace meetings. Our environmental coordinator has one full day a month set aside for environmental work.
