ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
We committed to protecting the environment. To this end, we promote the holistic environmental awareness of all employees, suppliers and service providers by involving them in our activities as far as possible. With the aim of developing environmentally friendly and resource-saving technologies, we consider the entire life cycle of our services and products. To avoid environmental pollution and adverse environmental impacts, we also include local and regional environmental conditions in the planning and implementation of measures. We are particularly committed to the conscious use of natural resources such as energy, water, soil and air, including the controlled use of raw materials and consumables. For this reason, we monitor the effects of our environmental activities, assessing the efficiency of the measures taken to achieve environmental goals. By implementing an environmental management system, we are committed to continuously improving our environmental performance. As part of our responsible use of chemicals, we reduce, as far as possible, human and environmental exposure to damaging chemicals. Chemicals are only used sparingly in the necessary quantities. When handling these materials – in their transport, storage, use, recycling or reuse and final disposal – the necessary safety measures must be guaranteed.
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY
We are committed to firmly opposing any form of discrimination on the basis of gender, race, age, skin colour, religion, familial status, sexual orientation, origin, physical or mental disability or any other characteristic that is subject to special protection under applicable legislation. This particularly applies to discrimination against employees. We respect the personal dignity, personal rights and private sphere of all employees. We treat each other with openness and honesty in a manner marked by respect and responsibility.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The term Corporate Governance stands for responsible corporate management and control geared to long-term value creation. In this context efficient cooperation between Executive Board and Supervisory Board, respect for stockholder interests, openness and transparency of corporate communications are key aspects. Bertrandt supports the different initiatives for corporate governance improvement and capital market transparency.
