Climate and environmental protection as part of our corporate culture
At Tyrolit, environmental management provides a framework for coordinating measures relating to energy, emissions, materials and waste. Requirements and responsibilities are defined according to the relevant company, site and process.
Environmental considerations in product and process development
Environmental requirements and resource use are considered when developing products, processes and infrastructure. Measures are assessed and implemented according to the relevant site and technical conditions.
Documented processes and management systems
The majority of Tyrolit companies are integrated into a common management system. Documented processes and work procedures, internal audits and continuous process improvement support the implementation of defined quality and environmental requirements.
Environmental management as an ongoing task
Environmental requirements and site-specific measures are addressed within the relevant business areas. Their implementation is based on defined responsibilities, technical conditions and the active participation of employees.
