Environment
Reflected and responsible interacting with the environment is manifested business policy of our company. With our integrated management system we ensure the environmental safety and sustainability of or products and processes as well as the mode of behavior of our employees.
Our focal point is on implementing a preventative and proactive environmental management, not in only fulfilling legal restraints and prescribed limit values.
Therefore all environmentally relevant impacts and pollution caused by the organization as well as by the production processes are identified, measured and controlled. We are acting after the basic principle; prevention if possible, substitution if not, minimization at least.
The following examples show that we are not only postulating this kind of approach, but living it:
• We are using solely 100% Co2 –free, green electricity since 2010
• We are using load-dependent air compressors to prevent unnecessary power consumption
• We focus on recyclable reusable packaging from natural resources
• We are working with regional suppliers and forwarders whenever possible to avoid or minimize traffic volume and energy consumption
• We are supporting the use of local public transport through our employees with subventions
Our environmental management system was audited and certified according to ISO 14001 in summer 2012 by TÜV Rheinland CERT GmbH.
