1Preamble

Our commitment to a sustainable future is an integral part of our corporate values. We actively work to reduce our ecological footprint and invite you, as important members of our team, to share this commitment with us. Our environmental directive comprises the following principles:

2Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

We are all called upon to play our part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Through conscious energy use, environmentally friendly means of transport and optimised operating processes, we can make this important contribution to the environment together.

3Using renewable energy

We rely on renewable energy such as solar, wind and other environmentally friendly energy sources to meet our energy needs, wherever this is technically and economically possible. We strive to continuously improve our energy efficiency in order to reduce consumption and maximise the use of renewable energy.

4Responsible chemicals management

Handling chemicals responsibly is essential. We ask you to handle chemicals with care, to ensure they are stored safely and to dispose of them properly in order to minimise environmental impact.

5Waste disposal and reuse

Your help in separating waste and promoting the reuse of materials is indispensable. By reducing waste and reusing materials, we can make a major contribution to reducing our environmental impact.

6Promoting recycling

We encourage all employees to take an active part in the recycling programme. By promoting recycling and using recycled materials, we not only support the environment but also promote a sustainable circular economy.

7Sustainable resource management

We minimise the consumption of natural resources by preferring recyclable materials, reducing and reusing waste and promoting resource-efficient production processes.

We are committed to the economical and efficient use of water and take measures to reduce our water consumption.

8Continuous improvement and exchange of ideas

Your ideas and suggestions are invaluable. We encourage you to actively suggest ways to improve our environmental practices. Continuous improvement is a shared process in which we can all take part.

9Communication and transparency

We are open to questions, suggestions and concerns. “Communication is the key to our shared success in protecting the environment.” We will report regularly on our progress and challenges.

10Postamble

This environmental directive takes effect immediately and applies to all partners, customers, suppliers and employees of Swobbee GmbH.
