Environment

Pollmann and its staff avoid impacting the environment and comply with all the relevant environmental laws and regulations. The ecological responsibility for preserving an intact environment as the basis of life of our society and future generations is an important parameter of the Pollmann model. Bringing ecology and economics into harmony and promoting environmental protection in all company divisions is part of Pollmann's company philosophy.

The aim is to continuously improve the measurable effects on the environment: Pollmann regularly records all the effects which the company has on the environment. Pollmann is committed to reducing the existing environmental impact within the scope of economic feasibility by defining environmental aims from which concrete projects for improvement are developed. Their success is constantly monitored.

Environmental aim

Reducing the environmental impact
Pollmann backs environmentally compatible production processes and makes economic use of raw materials and energy. The company is searching for economically sensible options for environmentally compatible utilization or disposal of the inevitable emissions and waste. When planning new production machines, production processes are designed to be as efficient as possible in terms of their effects on the environment.

Staff with high environmental awareness
Environmental protection originates with Pollmann staff, because environmental protection is also the task of each person individually. Individual responsibility is promoted by training and education in all areas of commercial environmental protection. Incentives are created for all staff to suggest appropriate ideas for improvement.

Guaranteeing legal compliance
Adherence to current environmental legal requirements such as laws, regulations, authority notifications and other stipulations is natural to Pollmann.

Updating emergency plans
With the comprehensive planning of precautionary measures, in the event of a crisis, the optimum capacity to act is ensured. With the production processes, appropriate measures are taken to avoid operational incidents and to reduce incident-related environmental consequences. These emergency plans are coordinated with the relevant authorities.

Relationship with neighbors
Pollmann supports dialog with the public. An open dialog is maintained with neighbors, authorities and all interested circles concerning environmentally relevant topics which relate to the company.

Environmental management system
Pollmann also promotes environmental protection with suppliers and customers. The environmental activities and the organization have been consistently developed further to the standard of a certified environmental management system in accordance with the international standard DIN EN ISO 14001 and integrated into the existing quality management system in 2004. Pollmann regards environmental protection as a task to be undertaken jointly with suppliers and customers. Environmentally compatible methods and technologies are preferred with suppliers.
The fostering of good relations with the suppliers ensures that their business activity, products and services also contribute to a continuous improvement in the measurable effects on the environment. Using an environmental management system is therefore recommended to them.
