Ecological awareness
Resource efficiency and sustainable production motivate us to constantly improve our range of products and services.
Always think one step ahead
The issue of sustainability drives us. This applies particularly to those areas we can exert a direct influence on.
We attach great importance to sensitizing our employees to the issues of resource efficiency and environmental awareness. We set a good example here with our energy and environmental guidelines and fixed targets for 2020 on the one hand. On the other we rely on the responsibility and willingness of each and every individual to work with us and do their bit for sustainability. We also focus specifically on our own opportunities and innovations in the field of sustainable production – starting with the selection of the raw materials used right up to our lean manufacturing concept.
The protection of the environment and sustainability when using natural resources are important company objectives of the companies in the KHS Group. We thus systematically record and analyze the environmental impact of our production sites. Based on these findings buildings, plants, tools, equipment and production processes are constantly improved as part of our sustainability strategy.
