Environmental management

 

The environmental guidelines of our company is anchored in our company principles.

 

Our company strives towards an active environmental protection in all of its areas of activity. Environmental protection is a principal task of all employees. They should therefore likewise participate in the daily implementation of environmental protection measures in a responsible manner.

 

Our company commits itself to adhere to pertinent environmentally relevant laws, standards and regulations.

 

Each customer should be given the certainty that they have purchased a product which has been manufactured in an environmentally sound manner. This obligation includes the adherence to environmentally sound processes and procedures in the company.

 

With the product development and the introduction of new production processes, both materials as well as procedures are taken into consideration. The assessment of the entire product development is carried out according to ecological points of view in addition to economic ones. The goal of our environmental management is the continuous improvement of the operational environmental protection. The organisational and technical measures lead into considering the most sophisticated technology currently available.

 

We strive to continuously reduce the resources and energy consumption and to minimise emissions and waste in such a manner that they thus make their contribution to an environmentally sound development. With investments and acquisitions, the most environmentally sound variation is to be given preference when possible.

 

The effects of available environmentally relevant facilities are regularly checked. We commit ourselves to design the facilities and organisation in a form that extensively minimise negative effects on the environment. To ensure the adherence to our environmental policy and for the fulfilment of given environmental goals, potential for improvement is determined and the corresponding measures are introduced.
