Environment PolicyFor AVL LIST GMBH, protecting the environment is a vitally important issue. The aim of many of our services and products is to reduce pollution. Quite apart from that, AVL is committed to acting in the interests of sustainability and optimising all in-house procedures so that they do not, or only minimally, affect the environment. It goes without saying that AVL complies with all the statutory provisions and, wherever economically feasible, uses systems and machines that least harm the environment. But at the same time we strive to continuously improve environmental protection at our operational locations.
The Environmental Management System is defined by AVL's top management whose duty it is at least once a year to check how well the Environment Policy is being implemented.
AVL has published its Environment Policy detailed below and made it compulsory for all members of staff in each individual area of influence in which they work.
- All members of staff are to receive regular training and information to promote a sense of environmental awareness and responsibility.
- Environmental impact is to be assessed objectively, checked and reduced right from the planning stage through to design, procurement and manufacture, in all workplaces and stores.
- The application and further development of energy/water-saving, low-emissions and low-waste technologies is to be constantly advanced. Preventive measures must be taken to save resources, prevent environmental accidents and minimise their effects on the environment (in both normal and non-normal operations).
- In-house regulatory bodies are to monitor the Environment Management System and ensure that specific measures are implemented if environmental targets are not achieved.
- AVL LIST GmbH undertakes to comply with all legislation, directives and requirements stipulated by various authorities.
- The public (i.e. local residents, local authorities, customers) must be given all the necessary information to permit an adequate understanding of our operational location and its effects on the surroundings. Dialogue with the public and scientific sectors is always preferable to confrontation.
- Precautions are to be taken to ensure that suppliers, customers and subcontractors working on the premises understand the Environment Policy of that location and are requested to adhere to it.
- AVL Management is requested to set an example.
