Sustainability, health and process excellence

 

Lohmann provides customised adhesive tape solutions around the world for a wide range of applications and in many sectors of industry. As an international company, the Lohmann Tape Group is in constant contact with a vast number of different people and organisations, and hence to representatives of a wide variety of interest groups. Sustainable working calls for a common understanding of the different influences being exerted on the company and of the different interest groups.

For this reason, environmental and quality policies were used as the basis to issue guidelines for all employees, which they can use to derive their own individual objectives and as orientation in their day-to-day work. The guidelines also clearly explain to interest groups such as customers, suppliers and neighbours how our values, vision and mission are manifested in our actions. As a member of a registered chemical industries association (Verband der Chemischen Industrie e.V.), we take an active part in the worldwide initiative "Responsible Care". Our engagement for the environment

In the interests of sustainable business, areas such as quality, hazard prevention, safety at work, transport safety and environmental protection are always under scrutiny. This involves actively evaluating diverse requirements and regulations and ensuring that they are met. Irrespective of this, the continuous further and re-development of products and production processes is to be used to efficiently improve resource usage and for the prevention or reduction of risks. After all, as people working at the company, we must be aware of our responsibility.

Efficient use of resources:
We optimize our production processes with regard to the lowest possible use of resources. We regularly monitor the impact that emissions, waste, sewage, and noise have on the environment, and we are constantly aiming to further reduce these.

We support the purchase of energy-efficient products and services as well as design-related activities regarding the improvement of the energy related performance.

 


Sustainable development – Risk Prevention and Reduction:
When developing new products or production processes, we take their environmental impact into account from the start. We use raw materials and intermediate products that have less impact on the environment.

Quality aspects – quality objectives:
Similarly to the environment management procedure, Lohmann regularly inspects and evaluates the internal and external demands placed on the quality of its products and processes. This allows quality aspects to be defined for all areas of the company and tangible, site-specific quality objectives to be identified in the management system, where their status and level of appropriateness are evaluated on an ongoing basis.

As people are our main focus, comprehensive communication of our environmental and quality policies and the objectives and measures anchored in the management system is indispensable.

Only people who have access to all the information can act responsibly on their own and on behalf of all the interest groups. After all, to us, acting responsibly means creating an environment of trust. We achieve this by fostering an open dialogue with customers, companies, employees, neighbours, consumers and the authorities.
