At Lykkegaard A/S, we manufacture long-lasting pumps with high efficiency, so that both raw materials and energy are saved during the long life of the pumps.

In addition, the pumps are manufactured so that they can be easily disassembled and repaired. We like to repair and recycle - instead of throwing away.

The raw materials for the pumps are carefully selected so that they suit the process and the environment in which the individual pump must be part of. This in turn helps to extend the service life.

Waste in over 40 fractions

In our production, we make a great effort to phase out the use of dangerous chemicals and to sort waste so that as much as possible can be recycled. We started sorting waste 30 years ago and now do it in 40 fractions from paper and batteries to various metals and chemical waste.

We minimize the consumption of packaging by reusing packaging and using recycled cardboard.

The water in our test facility is recycled and we continuously implement energy-saving measures in our buildings and on our machines. For example, we have achieved significant electricity savings since 2010 through energy management and LED lighting.

We will continue to work to create even more sustainable production and sustainable products with a long lifespan. Therefore, we will support World Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production with a special focus on

• efficient use of natural resources,
• environmentally responsible handling of chemicals and waste, so that emissions to air, water and soil are reduced for the benefit of human health and the environment
• reduction, recovery and reuse of waste both internally in production, when delivering our products and services, and in cooperation with companies that receive our waste.
  

Our entire production takes place in Denmark and for many years we have made a great effort to ensure that our employees have the best possible conditions for a good working life both physically and socially. This has resulted in our turnover of employees being very low.

We attach great importance to a good and safe working environment. We do that, among other things by sidekick training, written instructions, emergency plan, systematic inspections and work with near misses, so that accidents are prevented and the safety of work processes is continuously improved.

With technical aids, good working conditions are achieved, which, like high demands for hygiene and order, reduce sickness absence.

We always have between 30 and 40% apprentices, to support the employment and training of local labour.

We will continue to support Global Goal 8 on decent jobs and economic growth with a particular focus on:

• reducing the proportion of young people who are not in a job or in education,
• protecting employees' rights and promote a safe and stable working environment for all workers.
