We Bear Responsibility for People and Nature

DÖRKEN develops products and services that enrich our modern world with long-lasting benefits. Our products and services repeatedly set new standards of the highest technological level and fulfil customer requirements down to the smallest detail.

The industrial progress is not the only thing that counts today. It is essential that sustainability aspects such as protection of the environment and resources are also taken into account. The DÖRKEN companies are pioneers in this respect and have long focused on the fulfilment and exceeding of all statutory requirements in production, storage and disposal. 

“Safety is paramount! – this is the motto at each of our production sites. We use high technical standards to protect our production facilities and our environment. To achieve this, we use, amongst others: gas warning systems, temperature and pressure warning systems, flame traps, fire alarm systems and a drainage system that can be uncoupled from the public grid if necessary.

Thanks to our safety precautions and our internal quality and safety management, the likelihood of a malfunction impacting the environment is very low. As a company that works with chemical substances, we are nonetheless unable to guarantee one hundred percent safety.

For this reason, we have drawn up an internal and external emergency management system that works closely with the local fire service to specify suitable measures for dealing with malfunctions and limit their impact in the event of an incident. With our works emergency service and the works crisis team we can join with the authorities in tackling possible incidents in a professional manner and averting the impact on people and the environment as best possible.

The use of our quality management system is good for our company, for our employees and for our environment. To meet the goals set by both the authorities and ourselves we work with a system at DÖRKEN that combines and unites specifications regarding quality, safety, environmental protection and fire protection.

By observing strict requirements and consistently setting ambitious goals we have been certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and 14001 for decades. In addition, all DÖRKEN companies voluntarily participate in the EMAS eco audit, thereby committing themselves to the continuous further development of company environmental protection, including beyond the statutory requirements.

Compliance plays a big role at DÖRKEN and signifies far more than abiding by the law. We embody our values in our daily work, extending beyond a mere written code of conduct. Because theoretical compliance is no use to anyone – it is the practice that is important!

Compliance as a matter of course 

In the DÖRKEN companies we embody our values. Not only do we make sure that our employees adhere to guidelines, we also involve them in developing and expanding upon these. And offer designated contacts for all issues concerning fair and friendly interaction.
