Already in 1995 we decided to have our quality management system externally certified. The external certification of our environmental management system followed in 2010 and our occupational health and safety management system was certified in 2017. All these systems together build the base of our company policy and take effect on the leadership responsibility of our management team and the acting of all employees. In common with the public commitment to the principles of the UN Global Compact as well as the code of conduct for employees and suppliers, this underlines our efforts in sustainable action over the whole supply chain. We design our management, business and support processes customer and environmental oriented and also risk minimized. The management team commits itself to the fulfilment of external in internal requirements:

• Arrangement of the importance to meet the customers product requirements, to fulfil the environmental requirements, to optimize safety at work and to comply with legal and official conditions
• Specify the quality, environmental as well as health and safety policy including related targets
• Realisation and continuous improvement of the management systems
• Evaluation of target achievement of the management systems
• Ensure the availability of all essential resources for seamless meeting the requirements of the management systems

Securing customer satisfaction is an essential task for us. In order to fully meet the customer interests, we establish long-term partnerships with existing and new customers as well as suppliers. Customer satisfaction paired with capital and performance profitability assure growth and employment in future. The employees are focussed in all processes. By involving them into decision and improvement processes and qualification activities, they play a significant part in the success of the company. The daily risks at work must be eliminated or rather be minimized to an acceptable risk. Another focus of the company and all employees is the sustainable protection of the environment. Our processes are planned in a way to treat natural resources with care and to use them spare and efficient. We pursuit the following quality, environmental and safety policy with our meshing management systems:

• Permanent focus on fulfilment of customer requirements
• Achievement of the company, quality, environmental and safety targets
• Securing the fulfilment of external requirements associated with our management systems
• Total control and continuous improvement of all operational processes in accordance with all health and safety guidelines
• Active participation of all employees concerning quality control and quality improvement as well as reducing mistakes and defect costs
• Securing the suitable qualification of employees
• Preservation or rather increase of economic efficiency and profitability
