Environmental Policy
We consider it our responsibility to protect the environment. That’s why we aspire sustainable production processes.
Environmental protection concerns all of us. We also want to live in a healthy and clean environment and consider it important to use natural resources in a responsible manner. Especially the economical consumption of energy is in our own business interest. As a medium-sized company, we want to work efficiently and in addition want to protect the environment by investing in modern facilities.
Due to financial and capacity reasons it is not possible for us to install an environmental management system or a staff unit for environmental matters. However, we do not only comply with legal regulations with regard to environmental protection, but also exceed them wherever possible. Every single employee contributes to corporate environmental protection by acting environmentally conscious in his or her personal work environment.
