Quality, Safety and Environmental Policies
- Continuous Improvement
We are not satisfied with a performance that is anything less than excellent. Each employee has the task and the challenge to continually make improvements. The Simply Better and Continual Improvement programmes form the foundation for this objective.
- Employee Development
Competent and motivated employees are the most important force in a company. This is why we require and sponsor the appropriate knowledge, a keen sense of responsibility from our staff members and cooperation with each other at all levels. The LIFE programme creates a modern and attractive place to work, a place where each of our employees can flourish.
- Objectives and Figures (Measurable Success)
Initial concrete objectives and effective communication of the same make implementation of our strategy possible. Figures show us whether we are on course or need to take corrective measures.
- Prevention
Accidents at work, health hazards, damage to the environment, quality issues and damage to plant systems are avoided through preventive measures. Errors that occur in spite of our every effort are seen as an opportunity to learn. For this reason they are documented, analysed and corrected.
- Customer Orientation
Our customers, not us, define what quality is, and that is what we deliver. Through our investment programmes, we orient our processes to customer needs and lay the foundation for sustained customer satisfaction.
- Safety and Health
The company and the employees are mutually responsible for safety and health. We create safe places to work for all our employees, we sponsor and promote the Safe and Health programme out of a sense of responsibility for all. We train our people how to conscientiously and positively avoid accident-prone behaviours and adopt safe and healthy practices both at work and in their leisure time.
- Environmental Protection
Thrift in our consumption of natural resources and various forms of energy and the minimisation of harmful influences to the environment is important from an ecological perspective and saves costs as well. We are also well aware of our social responsibility and are thus well prepared to set economically feasible standards in the field of environmental technology.
- Company and Partnerships
The entire corporate surrounding is decisive for our ultimate success. Open communications and long-term partnerships with every interest group are the basis for solutions based on sustainability. The consideration of all concerns from our customers and partners and compliance with the legal regulations are an integral part of our strategy.
