In the Groz-Beckert Group, acceptance of ecological, economic and social responsibility goes hand in hand with profitable growth. This is why we have made a commitment to the principle of sustainability at every one of our locations. The defined sustainability principles we abide by help us to set standards for our performance in the fields of occupational health and safety as well as environmental protection.

We have made it our aim to analyse and assess the qualitative, social and ecological impact of our products, technologies and processes right from the design and development stage, to formulate plans of action and monitor our progress above and beyond the minimum standards set out by the law, and to communicate the results of this activity to the relevant interest groups.

The environmentally compatible and safe manufacture of our products is essential to successful economic management and is the driving force behind our actions. We face up to our responsibility to save resources and preserve an intact environment for present and future generations.

The driving force behind products and services from Groz-Beckert is the company’s qualified workforce, whose skill and knowledge, commitment and creativity are put to work to achieve our economic success. We not only strive to ensure safe working conditions, we also support our employees by implementing social projects and promoting health.

We work in partnership with our suppliers, service providers and customers to achieve the continuous improvement of both their performance and our own. We give preference to partnerships with companies and organizations which contribute directly or indirectly to sustainable development. We encourage our business associates to take an active role in shaping the social and environmental impact of their actions.

We are committed to complying with all relevant legislation, directives and guidelines in the field of environmental and occupational safety, and we endeavour to continuously improve the contribution we make to a society oriented towards the principles of sustainable development.

We are always receptive to the concerns of others. In order to promote an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect, we provide information when requested on the progress of our company in respect of social compatibility and environmental protection.
