B We promote the sense of responsibility and action of our employees towards environmental, health, occupational and accident protection and communicate the related measures at regular intervals. Open information about measures in the areas of quality, environmental protection and energy efficiency motivates employees and creates credibility among the public.

C We comply with the currently valid environmental regulations and laws. To achieve maximum legal certainty, we operate an electronic legal register. Those responsible for the areas have the necessary resources and information to maintain the improvement process.

D We strive for continuous improvement in environmental protection. This also includes the self-critical examination and re-evaluation of our processes, products and services with regard to undesirable environmental impacts and optimisation needs.

F We prefer to procure environmentally compatible materials with regard to production, use and disposal. Quality-oriented, environmentally friendly and energy-saving production takes into account the entire product life cycle, from the product idea to the purchase of raw materials, consumables and supplies, production and recycling or disposal. Environmental and energy management is an integral part of plant planning and procurement.

G We ensure that waste is avoided and avoidable waste is recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Our focus is on the application and further development of energy- and water-saving, low-emission and low-waste technologies.

H We use recyclable packaging material. This is done by regularly determining quality, environmental and energy data. On our way to Total Quality Management, the optimisation of internal processes, preventive error avoidance, exceptional product quality and on-time delivery are of particular importance.

J We work together with environmental specialists who support and accompany us. The optimal service for our customers is always in the foreground. To this end, we continuously improve all our processes.

K We regularly conduct environmental audits and communicate the findings. Measures derived from this are openly presented within the company and externally.
