Our environmental
principles.
Since their foundation, SALUS Haus, Walther Schoenenberger Pflanzensaftwerk and
SALUS Pharma have been committed to people’s health and wellbeing. The most important
prerequisite for this is the preservation and respectful use of our environment. That is why
we strive to continuously improve our products and to design production and monitoring
processes to avoid pollution or minimise it as much as possible. Since 1996, we have worked
with the most ambitious environmental management system in the world: EMAS.
To honour our shared ecological responsibility, we commit ourselves to acting according
to the following environmental principles:
1
We strive to obtain as much of our residue-controlled raw
materials from organic sources as possible, and in increasing
quantities. That way, we want to foster the harmony of business and nature also on a global scale.
2
Honest environmental protection can only be ensured by
involving and motivating all employees. This is why we would
like to educate and inform every employee to empower
them to actively participate in environmental protection.
3
In environmental protection, problems must be tackled at
their roots. We therefore test the environmental impact of
every new process or activity in advance.
4
The interdependencies between us and our environment are
constantly monitored, documented, and analysed for weaknesses in order to be able to optimise our business process
with all means available and with the environment in mind.
5
We are committed to complying with legal requirements.
10
We favour suppliers and companies that are as committed
Beyond this, we work to continuously improve occupational
environmental protection. We are open to respective suggestions and changes that benefit the environment.
6
We call upon all employees to actively support the improve
ment of environmental protection within the company.
Suggestions for improvement from our employees are implemented and rewarded whenever possible.
7
We also call upon our customers to critically examine us and
our products and send us suggestions for improvement.
11
Our emergency management procedures enable us to avoid
accident-related pollution or hazards for people.
12
We systematically monitor compliance with the goals we set
ourselves and adjust them to current levels of knowledge.
13
We are willing to engage in an open dialogue with the public
about pollution caused by our operations and involve the
authorities in such dialogue.
8
We work constantly to reduce our use of raw materials,
particularly with regard to water, energy, packaging, and
transport.
9
We focus particularly on the use of auxiliary substances (e.g.
cleaning products, disinfectants, lubricants) that cause as little
environmental harm as possible, and we dispose of them
responsibly.
