For us, it goes without saying that environmental protection is part of our corporate policy. Our awareness of it influences our daily actions in all areas of the company. Making allowance for and constantly improving environmental protection helps guarantee the safety of mankind and the environment and safeguard our company's long-term existence. Effective environmental protection, satisfied customers and staff, and also high product quality combined with optimum economy, are all equally important goals of our company.

What we understand by environmental protection:

• Optimum use of energy, water and raw materials.
• Avoiding environmental damage caused by emissions, waste water, soil pollution and refuse.
• Adhering to environmental legislation and regulations.
• Constantly improving the technical and organisational measures for environmental protection and system safety.
• Training staff to promote a sense of responsibility for the environment. 
• Advising customers with regard to environmentally-relevant matters.
• Promoting good relations with the public via the exchange of information.

In order to achieve these goals, we aim to pursue an offensive environmental management policy over and above the framework provided by the legal regulations, and endeavour to think and act as one entity.
