The top management of the KOSTAL Group is very aware that all the activities associated with the development, manufacturing and sale of our products have a direct or indirect influence on the environment.

Environmental protection is an important duty of our company and the board of directors has therefore formulated the following fundamental principles of our environment policy:

Environmental protection status
KOSTAL undertakes to achieve its economic targets while complying fully with the requirements of environmental protection.

Our workforce
Environmental protection is a matter for each individual employee. Providing our employees with information encourages environmental awareness and activities. Qualifications and motivation are developed with an eye to the future.

Preventing stresses on the environment
We undertake to deal carefully with natural resources, particularly regarding the use of materials and energy. With this in mind, processes are analysed in terms of their effect on the environment and are improved accordingly. Step by step and using the latest developments and technologies, we are reducing the amount of waste we create. Wastes which cannot be recycled are disposed of in an ecologically friendly manner.

Continuous improvement process
To achieve our environmental targets we will develop programs for the continuous improvement of products and processes.

Involving suppliers
The prevention of stresses on the environment is something which we also expect of our suppliers.

Laws and regulations
We undertake to comply with all relevant laws and regulations relating to the environment.

Communication
We are committed to open communication with local authorities, professional associations and our customers and suppliers in all matters involving the protection of the environment.
