As a manufacturing company, we regard the protection of our employees and of the environment as a central task. All work carried out on our sites is hence strictly in accordance with the requirements of industrial safety and health protection. A company physician and a nurse are in charge of the medical treatment and examination of all our staff.
 
In economic terms also, environmental protection and ensuring the ongoing health of our workforce are major factors serving to make our Company even more competitive.

By reducing our material waste, our environment-friendly approach not only saves costs, but increases the legal security and the entire organisation of the Company through optimized work-processes and procedures. An example of this is our deployment of a solvent distillation facility, which catches and cleanses contaminated solvent, re-fills it with fresh material and returns it to the cleansing process.

Our annual targets in the fields of health, the environment, safety and security are in line with the environmental management system laid down by the German Institute for Standardization in ISO 14001:2001.

Among our paramount objectives are:

• reducing the number and gravity of industrial accidents
• reducing specific energy consumption
• decreasing emissions in the fields of production and logistics
• decreasing of noise emission
• preventing or reducing routine waste
• increasing the recycling rate for synthetic materials waste
• reducing water demand and waste water
