Protecting the Environment

"Promotion of environmental awareness is a major objective of our company policy."

The following binding environmental principles were laid down as an integral part of Vinnolit´s company policy. We are committed to:

• Minimising by continuous optimisation, the environmental impact of our products during production, marketing and use, using resources sparingly and reducing waste. It goes without saying that all relevant safety and environmental legislation will be observed.
• Maintaining contact with the relevant authorities and associations and co-operating closely with the scientific and industrial community with a view to increasing our product knowledge, thus minimising the impact on man and the environment.
• Openly informing employees, customers and the general public on environmentally relevant matters and giving their concerns due attention. We will provide customer support on all ecologically related questions.
• Co-operating with the chemical industry in the development and implementation of recycling concepts and processes. We aim to establish individual product recycling schemes in line with the concept of total stewardship.

Responsibility for the company's environmental policy rests with the managing board. Every employee is committed to implementing the policy.
