494 We wish to avoid substances hazardous to water (e.g. acids, lyes, oils, coolants etc.) or store and use them in such a way that no damage is done to the environment. Wastewater must only be discharged in clean condition. Emissions that come from our company must not cause any damage to the environment or people. Carefully handling the resources and actively protecting the environment are part of our corporate responsibility. Consumption of resources Corporate environmental protection to us means looking at, analysing and improving company processes in their entirety. Negative impacts on the environment can only be reduced by taking appropriate care during production and provision of services. Compliance with legal regulations, continuous improvement We are obligated to comply with the official requirements, laws and provisions and constantly improve the corporate environmental protection. For all measures for protecting the environment, we orientate ourselves by the best available and economically viable technology. Employee development Successful environmental protection can only be achieved through the active cooperation of all employees. We therefore wish to inform and educate all employees to the extent that they can actively take joint responsibility. Active public relations We wish to engage in an open and objective dialogue with the business partners, neighbours, authorities and the interested public regarding negative environmental impacts of our company and are receptive to suggestions for improvement. Procurement When procuring our raw and auxiliary materials, we consider ecological criteria and we prefer suppliers who place a similarly high amount of importance in environmental protection as we do. Monitoring We regularly monitor and assess the environmental impacts of our company as well as the attainment of our set targets, which are adapted when new knowledge is acquired.
