The minimum requirement is compliance with the current health, work and environmental regulations.

Protection of resources and energy

Health, work and environmental aspects are included from the beginning in the development of products and production procedures. Existing products and procedures are subject to continuous evaluation and improvment, supported by objective targets, programmes and training courses. This ensures a sustainable handling of resources.

Risk management

The ultimate aim of risk management is to prevent harmful effects on humanity and environment. Risks are identified and evaluated systematically and preventive actions defined.
