Environmental Management with DAS Environmental Experts
Health, safety and environmental guidelines
DAS particularly emphasizes the required responsibility as an environmental technology company in the most fundamental sense. In addition to developing and manufacturing products for environmental protection, further integrating environmental awareness into all areas of operation is crucial to DAS EE. The preservation of natural resources, occupational safety and the satisfaction and safety of our employees are an essential part of our operational processes and our company organisation. We therefore comply with the legal requirements in the areas of environment, employee protection and occupational safety.

Environmental Policy
DAS Environmental Experts has implemented an environmental management system certified according to ISO 14001 since 2014, which we are continuously developing further. All employees are asked to handle resources responsibly and identify saving potentials. This allows a common economic success, customer and employee satisfaction and social recognition. We constantly examine the environmental effects of our products, processes, operational activities and facilities at all locations, even before their introduction, and try to reduce environmental pollution to a minimum wherever possible. We feel responsible for the environmental impact of our products and processes from raw material extraction to recycling. Relevant interests of customers, employees, the public and other interested parties are also identified and taken into account. In addition, we continuously develop and implement measures at all our locations worldwide to avoid environmental pollution and to continuously improve our environmental performance and environmental protection in the company. DAS EE reduces polluting emissions and waste wherever possible and returns the majority of waste to the material cycle.
The protection of resources is a priority for us. The consideration, evaluation and processing of environmental aspects is efficiently integrated into all our processes within the process landscape. Environmental goals fit seamlessly into our overall strategic goal planning, which is reviewed and adjusted annually. We continuously promote the environmental awareness of our employees and conduct regular training measures. In the area of environmental protection, we support projects worldwide in financial, personnel or material form. In order to avoid emergencies or minimize their effects, we have developed a contingency plan. At our suppliers and service providers, we regularly check compliance with comparable environmental standards through self-assessments and audits. As part of internal audits and management reviews, we regularly examine and evaluate the environmental protection situation of our company as well as the appropriateness of the management system. In the event of any deviations, corrective and preventive measures are defined and implemented as quickly as possible.
