Salus Sustainability Report 2021 - Report - Page 2
Introduction.
Environmental awareness is now more relevant than ever.
Environmental issues are at the centre of debate in the general
public, politics, and the media — a fact that we largely owe to
an unwavering youth fighting for a more sustainable future for
themselves, their children, and grandchildren.
Environmental protection and the integration of sustainability
into our everyday lives has always been one of our top priorities.
In the more than 100 years since our family-owned company was
founded, sustainability has always been an integral part of our
business activities. In 1996, Salus was first validated in accordance
with the EMAS Regulation (eco-management and audit scheme)
and has continued to be recognised by the scheme since then.
Throughout the 25 years, our systematic environmental management has been deemed a success. Since 2020, our sites at Bruckmühl and Magstadt have been climate-neutral — a milestone
that our company is especially proud of and that comes after
years of hard work.
But there is much more to be achieved. In 2020, we were
EMASplus certified, which makes us the first producer of natural
remedies and health products to take this important step. For
a long time now, we have placed special importance not only
on environmental matters, but also on social responsibility, and
EMASplus now offers us a solid framework for integrated
sustainability management. At Salus, environment and social
commitment go hand in hand.
On the following pages, we would like to give you an overview of
what we have achieved so far and how ambitious the targets are
that we have set for ourselves. Moving ahead together, towards
a more sustainable future, is a process that will surely hold many
challenges for us — but we are passionate about what we do and
ready to face them.
