Responsible attitude towards nature
Looking to the future, ecologically responsible behaviour is more important today than ever before. We at häwa are also committed to this standard and act according to these principles every day.
Our sustainable approach to nature is based on the DIN EN ISO 14001 environmental management system, which is reflected in our daily activities - from the selection of sustainable raw materials and efficient transport planning to energy-related process optimisation.
Environmental protection at häwa
- We strive to avoid burden on our employees or the environment
- We use resources economically and design all stages of production to be as environmentally friendly as possible, for example by purchasing environmentally friendly raw materials and auxiliary supplies.
- We constantly optimize our use of raw materials and auxiliary supplies, for example by minimising the creation of scrap metal through nesting programmes or through the recovery of powder coatings.
- Waste is avoided as far as possible, otherwise correctly separated and recycled.
- We consciously comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, for example BImSchG (Federal Pollution Control Act), TALärm (German government's Technical Instructions for Noise), German ordinance on hazardous substances, TRGS (hazardous substances), WEEE-/RoHS Directives.
We focus on energy-efficient and resource-conserving technology
- Our technical equipment is regularly checked and upgraded at appropriate intervals or substituted by the latest technical developments (amongst others Atimex-system, fuel-efficient building technology).
- We strive to use environmentally friendly technology that is for example: energy, water, emission and waste efficient and resource-saving (economical heating and ventilation systems with heat recovery, PV installations, use of electricity from renewable energy sources)
- Our requirements to protect the environment and human health also apply to our suppliers, whose materials flow directly or indirectly into the production process.
