Social Responsibility

Mektec's products have significant influence on technical progress and associated social developments. But we don't leave it at that: we have implemented integrated management systems for quality, health, work safety, environmental, energy and information security.

Protecting the Environment

All European locations have implemented a comprehensive environmental management system and are certified according to ISO 14001:2015.

We set ourselves the goal of reducing consumption of production process-related water consumption. The reduction of waste at each European production site is also an integral component of environmental protection.

We also strive to:

reduce CO2 emissions (scope 1 and scope 2)
minimize use of harmful substances for the environment or entirely process without them
zero environmental incidents

Global Responsibility

Not only our products bear a great responsibility for society, but also our entrepreneurial activities. We are committed to align our entrepreneurial activities so that we positively contribute to the global community of all people, economics and the environment in which we live.

Mektec Europe is part of the NOK Corporation, Japan. Please refer to NOK's website to gain an overview on our global comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility activities.

Sustainable Energy Management

We strive to reduce our electrical energy consumption by 2% per manufactured square meter of Flexible Printed Circuit boards in Europe in 2022. To achieve this, we focus on our production locations which play a major role: so far, we implemented a location-based energy cost calculation for the top 10 energy consumers (e.g. machinery, supply units, etc.) and realize power savings.

The German locations consume 100 % renewable energy. Our plant in Hungary uses 50 % renewable energy while 10% are contributed by own solar panels.

We monitor energy flows at our locations using an energy management system which is certified according to ISO 50001:2018.

Mektec: A Safe Place To Work

All locations in Europe have implemented measures to prevent occupational accidents and strive for “zero” workplace incidents. With our special focus on near misses, we make a valuable contribution to accident prevention - even before an occupational accident may happen.

Regular health-related campaigns such as free nutrition advice or medical check-ups complement the health protection of our employees. We reduce consumption of hazardous substances wherever possible.

All our locations follow the respective local statutory laws and guidelines on occupational safety. Therefore, regular certification of all European locations according to ISO 45001:2018 is a matter of course and we affirm our commitment to the continual improvement of our health and safety management system.

Honesty. Respect. Trust.

We act according to a comprehensive Code of Corporate Conduct. This collection of rules defines and guides our entrepreneurial activities and behavior towards our employees, customers, suppliers and competitors in context of legal regulations and universal human rights.

Along with our commitment to environmental protection, occupational and product safety we oblige ourselves to:

respect human rights, take actions against all forms of discrimination and protect our employees from sexual harassment
support anti-corruption measures, strictly comply with antitrust regulations and an appreciative and fair competition with market players
respect intellectual property and protect own and third partys' confidential information
support employees' freedom of association and to not employ children or forced laborer
