• environmental protection, e.g. technical measures to minimize 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
• standardization responsibility, meaning the support of an ecologically-supportable standard conduct of stakeholders
