Innovation plays a large part in ACOME’s sustainable development policy. Since 2006, the group has directly focused its long-term planning on eco-design, etc. This economic and environmental approach is demonstrated by the company’s ISO 14001 certification being renewed in 2008.
ACOME’s analytical and testing laboratories provide its production units with year-round support and regular assistance. They ensure the quality of the company’s processes, materials and products. Their tests cover the mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and environmental specifications of each product. This economic and environmental approach enables ACOME to manufacture high-performance, long-lasting and environmentally-friendly products.
Eco-design places the environment at the very heart of the production process, from product design (or even enhancement) to end of life, through manufacture and use. In this case, eco-design consists in reducing the product’s environmental footprint throughout its life cycle while maintaining its usability and performance. The materials and components used in its manufacture, coupled with its operating conditions, are also designed to reduce its energy consumption. And every consumption reduction results in a similar reduction in the end-user’s energy bill. This significant cost benefit makes products designed in this way affordable to as many users as possible.
ACOME, which is certified as ISO compliant, is now a recognised developer of environmentally-friendly products and processes.
