Our environmental management – sustainability & environmental protection
Ever since our company was founded in 1996, we have been committed to working in a sustainable and environmentally conscious manner. We implement this deeply rooted principle internally with a comprehensive environmental management system and also try to inspire our customers, suppliers and business partners with this idea. Find out more about our environmental management and our sustainability philosophy and support us in building a fair and green future!
Focus & goals of our environmental management
Our environmental management pursues the clear goal of actively avoiding environmental pollution and at the same time using resources responsibly. We focus on sustainable processes that not only protect the environment, but also raise awareness among everyone involved.
A central concern is the promotion of environmental awareness – both within our company and among all interested parties. Only by working together can we bring about a real change in thinking and anchor environmental protection in daily practice.
By continuously improving our environmental performance, we strive to constantly scrutinize existing measures and develop them further in a meaningful way. In doing so, we are consistently guided by binding legal requirements and other binding obligations to which we voluntarily subject ourselves.
Our aim is not only to meet standards, but to exceed them – through an active and lively environmental management system that we are constantly developing.
