Environmental Management Team

Strong community: Environmental protection is a shared responsibility

Our environmental management team consists of members of the management, production and purchasing teams as well as two trained environmental managers. Together, we continuously address current and future environmental and climate-related projects. Regular meetings support the planning, assessment and implementation of the respective measures.

Employee involvement is also an important part of our environmental management. Every area of the company can contribute to further developing environmental aspects within our operational processes. We therefore encourage and support our team members in contributing their own ideas and suggestions and actively participating in measures to reduce our environmental impact.

Our environmental managers are available as points of contact and provide support on environmental and strategic issues. However, the implementation of environmental measures is a shared responsibility throughout the company.

Together, we aim to contribute through concrete measures to using resources more consciously, reducing environmental impacts and continuously developing our operational processes.

Overview of the main responsibilities of the environmental management team

1. Implementation and maintenance of the environmental management system:
   The team is responsible for implementing the environmental management system within the company and ensuring that it operates effectively. Appropriate structures, procedures and processes are developed to define and achieve environmental objectives.
2. Point of contact for sustainability:

Trained environmental management representatives

Further training in environmental management is highly important for fulfilling the responsibilities of environmental representatives. Environmental regulations and requirements change regularly, making it essential to stay up to date. Sound knowledge of environmental law and environmental management systems is therefore indispensable.

For this reason, two environmental representatives are part of our environmental management team. They regularly participate in suitable training programmes in order to continuously expand their knowledge and skills and keep them up to date. This benefits not only the environmental management team, but the entire workforce, as the knowledge acquired is passed on through regular environmental training sessions.
