BRUCHA’s environmental policy
Taking responsibility for the environment and our fellow humans
As a family-run business with local roots, we place great importance on sustainability and active preservation of resources and the environment. This is why we enshrined these values in our company philosophy and code of conduct, in the form of our environmental management system according to ISO 14001 in force since 2013.
With regular reviews and audits, we are able to ensure the highest-quality implementation, documentation and maintenance of environmental management across our organisation. This ensures that we honour our obligations under the ISO 14001 certification in the long-term, adhere to an ongoing improvement process and comply with statutory regulations and environmental legislation and guidelines.
Since we must all do our bit to protect the environment, all our employees and contractors are made aware of this company-wide code of conduct, which they can consult at any time. And being environmentally aware does not in any way affect company profits – if anything, it boosts them.
With a view to a smart “eco-design”, we analyse the origin of materials and how they have been processed as early as during the development and planning stage.
All of our certifications and statements are availble upon request.
