CSR

Corporate Social Responsibility:

Environmentally speaking

“Eco-friendliness” is a process we continuously strive for at Gram BioLine.

While there will always be new advances in technology, knowledge and practical solutions that will continue to improve the sustainable approach of our products and manufacturing, at Gram BioLine we take great pride in being at the forefront of products that impact the environment as little as possible. The products in our series underline this in an impressive way. An expected service life of at least 10 years, - and thus the avoidance of new devices - as well as ease of maintenance are the key factors in our holistic ecological approach and the environmental friendliness we strive for.

BioLine devices are consistently environmentally friendly: From production to operation, our cooling solutions are characterized by particularly low energy consumption and can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner once they have served their purpose. No CFCs or HCFCs are used in the manufacturing of BioLine devices. Instead, all BioLine units are available with a comprehensive selection of environmentally responsible natural hydrocarbon refrigerants.

The only propellant we use is cyclopentane which is used to make the CFC-free insulation of BioLine equipment.

Social responsibility for our employees

Acting in a socially responsible manner is something that is very close to our hearts.
We are a purely Danish manufacturer based in southern Jutland in a predominantly rural area. We are a company that takes on local responsibility – not only for our employees, but also for the community in which our plant is located. In the age of outsourcing, we are therefore particularly proud to support our region and employ local employees at all levels of the company - from factory workers to senior management.

A healthy and balanced work environment is an important issue in Denmark and Gram makes no exception. Creating the best possible working conditions for our workforce is a matter of course for us. This ranges from lifting equipment, ergonomic workbenches, safety clothing and shoes to height-adjustable tables and regular, completely anonymous workplace assessments.

A central part of Danish working life also affects those areas that have nothing to do with work. Gram prides itself in having a healthy work-life balance culture - and with a Danish welfare model, with flexible working conditions and social support such as maternity leave, childcare facilities, free hospitals and education (including university), Denmark is at the top of international equality surveys, and contributes to a high living standard.

This all means that we at Gram, value the life outside of work, and are allowed to by our colleagues. In the end people are more creative, healthier and happier with their job and employment.
