Our Ecological Guidelines

Our Ecological guidelines - A plus for the environment

1. Background

We see the protection of the environment as a basic requirement of an environmentally responsible company. A healthy, intact environment is, in our opinion, the basis on which life depends for us and for future generations. Active support to maintain a healthy environment we see as our fundamental obligation.

2. Principles

Environmental protection is an important part of our company philosophy. Economics and Ecology are not diametrically opposed. Consideration for the environment in our day to day activities is organized throughout every department in 2E. Processes, work-regulations and other activities support each other to reduce the impact on the environment.

3. Resources

The use of new technology to conserve energy and material is part of our philosophy as well as the avoidance of waste and the alternative use of scrap material.

4. Laws

For us, laws represent only the minimum standard in setting environmental goals in 2E. Moreover, our objective is to continuously improve our environmental protection goals.

5. Suppliers

Good environmental protection is guaranteed, in particular when it is supported by economic logic. Therefore, we undertake to support regional products and technology from local sources whenever we can. We are also asking our suppliers to focus their goals on environmental protection as well; therefore we promote sustained environmental protection with both our partners and suppliers. We prefer suppliers that have standards of environmental protection as high as we do ourselves.

6. Employees

Successful environmental protection programs can only be realized when all employees participate. The active support in environmental protection programs is positively reinforced inside and outside of the company.
