Environmental management: Mayser grows with the requirements
Since 2010 the experts from TÜV Süd have visited the Mayser locations in Ulm once per year to audit the company’s environmental management system. In May, this audit was completed for the tenth time – and Mayser once again received the ISO 14001 certification. However, both the auditors and those being audited are aware that the process of developing into an environmentally friendly company is never complete. Because the requirements continue to grow year for year.
Mayser can continue to develop and improve with respect to environmental protection only if everyone participates actively. This starts with little things. Some examples: Opening windows briefly to air out a room, not leaving windows open for extended periods, closing windows, doors and gates before leaving work evenings and weekends, or turning off lights not needed if there is sufficient daylight. Examples such as these from the current audit are intended to sensitize employees and make them aware of the potentials for daily inattentiveness with respect to the use of resources.
“Every day we experience from our customers that good work pays off”, says Thorsten Paech, Director of Quality Management at Mayser. “This quality can be achieved only if we all constantly strive to continue improving. Also with respect to environmental management.” The report of the environmental management officer confirms that Mayser is highly committed to achieving the company’s goals. Seven of eight environmental goals were achieved in 2018. For example, the machine park was expanded to include three new injection moulding machines that are optimized for energy efficiency, and highly efficient lighting and water heating systems were installed in new offices.
For 2019, Mayser has again set ambitious goals, which require the active participation of all employees. Paper used for printing should be reduced by 10 percent, for example, and ink even by 20 percent.
Is Mayser also an exciting employer for you?
