Our environmental policy is aimed:
1. to prevent (at the outset)
2. to reduce (wherever possible)
3. otherwise to eliminate (in an environmentally sound manner) the negative impacts upon environment arising from our activities.
- The implementation of environmental legislations is a matter of course for us. We aim to fall short of guidelines and applicable limits.
- We seek to continuously improve the environmental protection. In order to be able to take appropriate measures, together with our employees we regularly analyse and evaluate our environmental impacts.
- We aim to reduce these by means of the best available technology so far as it makes sense and is economically justifiable.
- We consider the environmental impacts of new or modified products and processes from development through production to operation and disposal.
- When selecting suppliers and contractors, their environmental attitude and behaviour is a parameter, too. We place the same environmental demands on our contractors operating at our site as we confirm to.
- We seek to reduce the risk of environmentally harmful accidents or their impacts by means of appropriate emergency preparedness measures.
- We seek to cooperate closely with appropriate authorities in order to prevent environmental damage or loss and to ensure the implementation of environmental guidelines.
- We participate in open and positive dialogue with business partners and the outside world about the results of our environmental situation. For this purpose we regularly report data regarding our environmental performance and environmental projects.
- We are working on the basis of an integrated system for environmental management, occupational health and safety, and quality management. We inform and train our employees in terms of this system and its application.
