Alfix nominated for two sustainability awards – 2022

Alfix won the Danish Building Industry Environmental Award in 2012, when the presentation was made by HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark.

Today, ten years on, we are delighted to have received another nomination – TWO NOMINATIONS, in fact!
We have been nominated for the Danish Building Industry Environmental Award in recognition of our sustainability strategy, and for the Danish Building Industry Climate Award for our new, low-carbon tile adhesive, which we will be launching this spring.

We are crossing our fingers and looking forward to the announcement of the winners, which will be made when the beech woods turn green.

We would like to thank the nomination committee for putting the Alfix name forward for two of the four sustainability awards.
We are almost buzzing with excitement here in Kolding.

Sustainable Development Goals – “We work with them every day”

Sustainable Development Goals – “We work with them every day”

In the summer and autumn of 2021, Alfix undertook an exciting process in partnership with Bureau Veritas, the recognised certification company. This initially took the form of a management workshop on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), followed by a “screening” of the company with the participation of both the management and selected employees.

“We’ve selected two strategic Sustainable Development Goals, each of which matches our core business and gives us the chance to make a real difference. The two SDGs are No. 8: Decent work and economic growth, and No. 12: Responsible consumption and production,” relates Anders Bertelsen Toft, CCO at Alfix.

Six underlying subsidiary goals are linked directly to Alfix’s ongoing growth strategy. These subsidiary goals refer to everything from sustainable product development with meticulous selection of more sustainable raw materials for the end products, to efficient production that generates less environmental impact. Responsible waste sorting and general documentation of the company’s activities in the fields of the environment, occupational health and safety, and management are likewise high on our agenda.

“We believe that the sustainability agenda deserves the greatest possible attention. As a Danish manufacturer of construction materials, we are excellently placed to help influence development in the right direction,” he continues.
Fortunately, more and more customers also expect a proactive response to the green transition today. And while Alfix has long been working for a better environment and improved OHAS – since 2000, in fact – the director confirms there are still many more activities that the company wishes to launch in the future.

“We are not perfect, but we are making a real effort. We owe it to the coming generations,” he emphasises.
Most recently, Alfix has ratified the UN Global Compact and joined Global Compact Network Denmark – the most significant global initiative for responsible business and the largest network in Denmark for responsible enterprises, respectively.

Waste – a valuable resource

Waste – a valuable resource

At the beginning of 2021, Danish company Alfix entered into a collaboration on the thorough sorting of waste with environmental company Marius Pedersen A/S. This means that a valuable partnership is now underway in Kolding.

Describing the high level of interest in sorting waste that many companies now have, Marius Pedersen’s Environmental Consultant (Business) Jørgen Frederiksen said:

“There has been a significant increase in interest in the last two years. It often starts with companies seeing the potential for financial savings that result from sorting their waste. It is followed by a wish to do something that benefits the local community and the wider world, and fortunately, that’s something that gets a lot of attention now. Companies of all sizes and from a wide range of sectors are now actively involved in sorting waste.”

Describing the new close collaboration with Alfix, Jørgen Frederiksen said:
“We have entered into a close and positive collaboration with Alfix and I have to say that I am impressed by how much waste from Alfix goes to recycling (approx. 93%). The high level of recycling comes from for example, concrete (construction and building waste), which is reused as road fill and in new concrete products for construction work. In just a short time Alfix has created a high level of internal engagement about the subject and achieved fine results. I therefore often use the company as a good example for others.”
Alfix is also very pleased with the collaboration, which matches perfectly with the company’s active sustainability strategy, where both the management and employees work holistically with several parallel initiatives.

“Internally, waste sorting has quickly taken off and we are very satisfied that in just a short space of time we have delivered visible results via the scheme, where we create environmental changes via our sorting at both the factory, our laboratories, canteen and offices,” says Kim Mathiasen, Innovation Manager at Alfix.
There have been visible financial and environmental rewards for Alfix. The results have been possible because of the excellent and close collaboration with Marius Pedersen, which to begin with carried out a kick-off meeting with Alfix employees. According to Kim Mathiasen, this created positive integration among the employees and the ongoing improvement work now includes a digital tool for monitoring and creating inspiration for further improvements.

Meet an Alfix employee – Mette from administration

Mette Hesel Sørensen is an engaged and service-minded employee who works in the Alfix administration / internal sales department.

_- Tell us briefly about your department and their job functions:

It’s often one of us in administration that you talk to when you contact Alfix by telephone or when you visit the administration building and the office in Kolding.
If your enquiry is related to an order, you stay with us in internal sales. Otherwise, a sales consultant, a colleague in the service technical department or one of the other Alfix employees will attend to you.

_- What are your duties in administration/order reception?

Together with colleagues in administration, and working with the warehouse and production staff, I make sure your order is started, so that it can be collected by a haulier and delivered to the desired location in Denmark, Sweden or Norway.

_- When is your working day especially good?

A good day already starts outside Alfix, when the supplier's lorries are fully underway with the filling of the many silos with raw material.
Before I reach my workstation in the office, I walk through the production and warehouse area, where the bags move on the production line and the day’s orders are packed – it looks good.
Contact with positive customers and colleagues and above all, a full order book, makes the day perfect!
