Quality

At Loval Oy, our first priority is the quality of our products and operations. We emphasise continuous development and aim at being a good, safe place to work and a reliable partner for our customers and other stakeholders. We believe good quality includes environmental responsibility and ensuring that our partners operate according to our quality principles.

Sustainable development

Loval Oy investigates and recognises the environmental impacts of its operations and takes responsibility for protecting the environment. In all our operations, we abide by the law and official regulations. We follow the principles of sustainable development.

Energy efficiency is an important area of continuous development for us. We aim to optimise the energy use of our production processes and our products.

We are committed to improving our energy efficiency. Therefore, we have entered the Energy Efficiency Agreement for Industries, which promotes the achievement of the energy -saving targets set for Finland.

We include environmental values in all our choices and use renewable energy in our processes. For example, we use the waste heat from our processes to heat our facilities.
