Sustainability Policy in the EDAG Group
At EDAG, particlar importance is attached to our sustainability policy: this involves both long-term business policy and the integration of environmental and social aspects into our management systems.
As a part of our corporate culture, it determines our actions with our business partners as well as our values such as trust, transparency, reliability and fairness. It is therefore a contribution towards safeguarding the future of our company, and also towards economic and social development.
As an internationally active company, EDAG makes a point of ensuring that human rights and accepted standards are complied with at our numerous locations across the globe, and affirms its support of the UN Global Compact principles.
Regular certifications by independent auditing organizations in areas such as quality management, information protection, environmental management, occupational health and safety and CSR management are more than just a means of ensuring that common standards are adhered to at EDAG. Over and above this, we see it as our task to employ a continuous improvement process to make the working environment safe for our employees, to minimize negative impacts on the environment, and to establish sustainable management as a key component of our management systems.
As one of the world's leading engineering companies in the mobility industry, it is also our intention to set benchmarks in the way we behave towards and deal with business partners and the environment. In order to make this transparent for our partners, too, we have defined our standards of behavior in our Code of Conduct. It is in line with our value system to combine corporate activities with ethical principles, and so, by acting with integrity, ensure compliance with legal regulations at all times. In addition, the Code of Conduct provides our employees with guidelines for lawful and fair conduct in the course of their everyday business, and for the responsible handling of the resources available to them and of our environment.
As an engineering service provider with a workforce of some 8,900 highly qualified employees worldwide, the focus of our sustainability activities is on the social sphere. Furthermore, EDAG's management supports and commits to the goals of the Paris Agreement. In this context, we are currently working with the Science-Based Targets initiative to push ahead with our emissions reduction targets on a scientific basis. The EDAG Group has set itself the goal of achieving CO2 neutrality by 2039.
