As a leading producer of cleaning and care products to retain the value of vehicle surfaces, we want to make an active contribution to global (environmental) problems in those fields where we exert influence and hold responsibility. In this, we distribute our financial means in such a way that our investments fulfil the needs of today without putting at risk the resources of future generations.
We have been engaged since 2005 in environmental management system certification to the international standard ISO 14001. This has given rise to company goals and programmes to avoid and reduce waste water and protect against ground contamination, air pollution and noise pollution.
Through membership in the “Responsible Care” initiative, we take on further obligations beyond the legal requirements to strive towards continuous improvement in the fields of the environment, health and safety.
