ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AT ROHRWERK MAXHÜTTE

Protection of the environment is a permanent and integral part of our company’s culture. We view acting in an environmentally-conscious way as a social responsibility which we have towards our customers, our employees, and the entire region.

For us, compliance with all relevant regulations and laws is a matter of course:

• We handle the resources we use, our products, and waste materials in a responsible manner.
• We minimize any environmental impact on water, air, and soil.
• We implement company-wide changes whenever we discover potentials for improvement.
• The fundamental philosophy of our waste and water management is: “prevention before reduction before recycling before disposal.”
• Protecting the environment from the very beginning: In addition to the needs of our customers, we take into account the impact on the environment as early as the developmental stage of new products.

Coordination of all environmentally relevant matters is handled by a separate department which reports directly to top management.
