Quality Policy

Quality is one of the most important parts of our operation. The idea of quality should be involved in all our actions. To withhold and improve the image Ölgerðin has created over the years we have to ensure that:
• All our products are first class, and that will never be sacrificed.
• That all product handling is in accordance with the best known procedures each time.
• Our costumers’ experience of dealing with us will exceed the expectations every time.
• All our operations are in accordance with law and regulation, and that we fulfil the demands of our costumers and other interest groups.
• We continue to seek ways to improve and reform, that we learn from our mistakes and think without limitations.

Environmental policy

Ölgerðin’s main objective is to develop and sell products that are better for the consumer. As the environment is a part of each consumer’s life quality, it is important that all of Ölgerðin’s operations are as environmental friendly as possible. This is in part done by:
• Fulfilling laws and regulations regarding the environment and making sure all employees are aware of the importance of protecting the environment.
• Avoiding all waste during handling and use of raw materials and packaging. Reusing and recycling material whenever possible and disposing of waste in the proper manner.
• Trying to use environmentally friendly packaging and materials, as long as it does not jeopardize product safety.
• Keeping the companies pollution controls up to date with laws and regulations, and making sure that all changes and new housing are likely to meet future expectations in the field.
•  Continuously seeking ways to reduce the use of packaging and energy during production, sales and distribution of the company’s products.

Advertising-to-kids policy

Special precaution should be taken when advertising or marketing to children and adolescents.
• Advertisements for children under the age of 8 should not be created or published, since children of such young age have not reached the maturity to understand and evaluate the message of advertising.
• Trust that children have towards their parents, teachers and athletic trainers should not be used to impose a message in advertising.
• The message of advertisements should not undermine the authority of parents and children should not be, in any way, encouraged to have their parents buy certain products.
• Advertising that is likely to effect children should no be published during times when children are likely to be watching/looking alone, e.g. during children’s programming in the morning.
• All promotional material should first be directed at the parent, who then can decide if the child should receive it.
• Promotional material should not show children in dangerous circumstances.
