Pilot’s Environmental Policy

“The impact that industry has on the environment can be significant. As a manufacturer, we are aware of the resources that we consume to produce our products and it is essential that we create a process that takes our planet into consideration.

For example, we strictly respect legislation, reprocess water used in manufacturing and offer the market a range of refillable pens. We know that we must always look for ways to improve our process and we have recently launched a complete range of recycled products.

We are fully engaged in ISO 14001 programs and constantly try to reduce the impact that we have on our environment.

Our commitment is to offer a range of recycled products that has the same quality and technology as our non-recycled counterparts.”
