We strive to protect the environment and carefully handle all resources consigned to us. We perform cross-functional projects with the objective of constantly improving both products and processes with regard to resource conservation and environmental compatibility, improving both our own ecological footprint and those of our customers.

We believe that protecting our climate, and reducing our environmental impact and associated costs are not only the right thing to do, but also make good business sense.

We consider the environmental impact of our business and operations through the whole product lifecycle, from development to production and delivery to our customers. For us, sustainable business operations require:

• eliminating the design and manufacturing of products that contain hazardous substances or release harmful emissions;
• making efficient use of materials and minimizing the amount of raw materials and supplies used;
• reducing the consumption of energy and other natural resources;
• actively managing and optimizing the supply chain and introducing innovative logistic concepts to reduce our carbon footprint.

As a globally operating company, we move a considerable quantity of goods every day. Our logistics specialists continually analyze all flows of goods – starting with raw material procurement to the supply to customers – and develop efficient transport solutions to minimize the environmental impact of our logistics process. We increasingly bundle raw material supplies and augment transport capacity utilization of trucks to reduce the distances travelled. Wherever possible, we avoid the air freight, reduce sea cargo volumes by using buyers consolidation containers and enhance the use of railway freight as an eco-friendly means of transportation.

We continuously optimize our packaging methods and have adopted recyclable materials where possible. Styrofoam, wrapping film, and other materials are handed over to specialized recycling companies for use in the production of other products, such as plastic bottles.

Taking an active part in customer benchmarks, we share our knowledge concerning essential ecological issues in the field of logistics.

Following our aim to reduce waste to zero, our product design and our selection of production materials shall maximize our ability to recycle. We have re-used raw, process and operating materials in our plants for years. Our waste management system forms part of the overall environmental management system and follows the same standard in all affiliated locations.
