En­vi­ron­men­tal man­age­ment

It serves to secure the sustainable environmental friendliness of operational products and processes on the one hand and the conduct of employees and stakeholders on the other.
This involves specification of:

• the environmental policy, e.g. determination and specification of the commonalities of ecologically and economically beneficial measures
• environmental protection, e.g. technical measures to minimise environmental impact, avoid unjustifiable environmental harm, contributions to prevention and restoration
• environmental performance (the measurable results regarding environmental impact, such as emissions, waste water and soil contamination)
• observance of official regulations regarding statutory threshold values
• standardisation responsibility, meaning the support of an ecologically-supportable standard conduct of stakeholders
