Environmental protection and safety - for a sustainable development

Environmental protection, safety and the challenges of the coming generations are of serious concern to us. Since our foundation, a central element of our thinking and efforts is a sustainable development for the future. We endeavour to create a balance between economical, ecological and social requirements for all stakeholders. We are committed to the principles of "Responsible Care®," a worldwide voluntary initiative of the chemical industry.

Our day-to-day initiatives entail steady improvements in the fields of:

environmental protection
product responsibility
production safety
risk aversion
transport safety
social responsibility

We minimize waste and ensure its safe removal. Our plant runs with natural gas that virtually excludes SO₂ emissions. Acid emissions that result by the handling of hydrochloric acid are neutralized. The discarded catalyst is processed into the product AICI₃. We operate our own biological waste water treatment plant.

Our integrated Management System is certified by DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 and DIN EN ISO 14001 ("Ecology Certificate"), and is regularly audited, both internally and externally.
It is for the safety and protection of all of us.
