Consumption of
trichloroethylene
Saab’s Code of Conduct provides guidelines on how employees are expected to act
in relation to each other, in contacts with customers and partners, and in society.
cations, trichloroethylene has been substituted
with water-based alternatives and in some cases
with alternative production methods.
With respect to chemicals used in the main-
tenance of Saab’s products and which contain
hazardous substances, Saab has initiated a dialogue
with customers and other stakeholders to nd
less hazardous alternatives. Saab is also working
actively to reduce usage and emissions of volatile
organic solvents (VOCs).
Saab’s work with hazardous substances cor-
responds well with the requirements of the EU’s
chemicals law – Registration, Evaluation and
Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) as well as
the requirements of the Group’s customers. Saab
actively participates in several collaborative
groups, nationally and internationally, to enhance
eorts in this area.
In 2014, Saab began implementation of various
IT tools to make it easier to compile information
on usage of chemical substances to ensure that the
products meet environmental requirements.
SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
An important part of Saab’s eorts to reduce its
environmental impacts is research and develop-
ment collaborations within the industry to create
sustainable solutions for the future.
Saab is one of the main suppliers to Clean Sky, a
Joint Technology Initiative nanced equally by the
EU and the industry to reduce emissions of carbon
dioxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides as well
as noise from aircra. In another EU project, Saab
is contributing its expertise and systems in remote
towers and trac ow management to develop
and improve air trac management systems with
the aim of reducing climate impacts.
In a collaborative project between Sweden
and the US, biofuels are being tested for various
aviation applications. Saab is providing Gripen
as a test platform, and test ights are scheduled
in early 2017.
