Envi­ron­mental Policy

Envi­ron­ment protec­tion begins in the mind. How we conduct ourselves serves as an example both inter­nally and exter­nally. And from our many years expe­ri­ence we have devel­oped a few simple rules, to moti­vate every employee to attain our objec­tives.

The SONAX envi­ron­mental stan­dards.

We want to set things in motion. And not just with our prod­ucts.

1. Employees

Together we will attain our envi­ron­mental objec­tives. That is why we culti­vate an inten­sive and direct dialogue.

2. Further Training and Infor­ma­tion

Compre­hen­sive and accu­rate infor­ma­tion, regular training and further educa­tion promote our envi­ron­mental conscious­ness.

3. Commu­ni­ca­tion

We will answer any ques­tions directed to us openly and honestly. When selecting our supplier we ask from their envi­ron­mental protec­tion activ­i­ties.

4. Safety and Envi­ron­mental Protec­tion

The safety of our facil­i­ties and protec­tion of the envi­ron­ment are objec­tives of equal impor­tance and must not be put aside on grounds of increased produc­tivity.

5. Prod­ucts

We contin­u­ally enlarge our knowl­edge about the envi­ron­mental compat­i­bility of estab­lished and newly devel­oped prod­ucts, and take appro­priate measures.

6. Product Devel­op­ment and Manu­fac­turing Proce­dures

With new prod­ucts and manu­fac­turing proce­dures, envi­ron­mental protec­tion require­ments are taken into consid­er­a­tion in the devel­op­ment and test phases.

7. Resources

We use raw mate­rials and energy econom­i­cally, thereby protecting the envi­ron­ment.

8. Disposal

We try to avoid waste, to use recy­clable mate­rials in a respon­sible way and dispose of non-recy­clable mate­rials prop­erly.

9. Waste Water

By employing suit­able tech­nology, we reduce and/​or avoid waste water volume and pollu­tion.

10. Soil

We avoid damaging soil pollu­tion on our company premises.

11. Exhaust Air

We ensure that manu­fac­turing processes with low emis­sions are employed. Exhaust airflows are puri­fied using the latest tech­nology.

12. Noise

To protect employees and neigh­bours we care­fully monitor and curb existing sources of noise.

13. Moni­toring

On our own respon­si­bil­i­tyini­tia­tive, we monitor and control plant and processes, as well as air, water, soil, waste and noise.

14. Inde­pen­dent Initia­tive

For us, protecting the envi­ron­ment is not just a ques­tion of laws and regu­la­tions. We prac­tise it on our own initia­tive and respon­si­bility with the aim of a continual improve­ment.
