Environmental issues play an important role in our daily business and they are an integral part of our management system and our procedures. We constantly monitor environmentally relevant laws, standards and developments and their influence on our business activities. The health and safety of our employees and all others involved in the process are one of our prime concerns. We therefore set strict guidelines for substances and chemicals, which are used in the production of our goods, but also in our fixtures and business premises. An enhanced quality assurance system offers our customers the necessary reliability in regards to product safety: the content, quality and function of the product. This also includes the close cooperation with our suppliers in the sector of production ecology and the social standards, as well as their ability to meet our requirements. Furthermore we are taking more measures to minimise the negative impact on the environment by the purchasing, sales and lifecycle of a product. We also deal with issues including waste and energy management, as well as logistics and their effects on energy consumption. |
