“The pleasant indoor climate in the production area is noticed by everyone. We are all proud of our environmentally-correct workplace.” Jasmin Heigl, Production Assistant, <strong>Hilti</strong> Thüringen, Austria
Yes, we care! The environment Our process management system contains all business pro c- esses and is valid worldwide. It has also created a framework for environmental topics that allows us to comprehensively meet the demands of our corporate responsibilities. We want to continue to improve the quality of our products, services and processes throughout the company, and this includes the topic of the environment. It goes without saying that this also embraces meeting the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 international quality and environmental standards. Our environmental commitment includes both ecological and economic perspectives. The knowledge that we acquire in this area will increasingly be used to develop new and innovative business fields. We are convinced that sustainable growth can only be achieved if we systematically incorporate the environment in our daily business. • When developing our processes we set ecological-oriented guidelines as the foundation for the careful selection of wrecyclable materials, including the usage of environmentally-friendly materials in product packaging. • In 2007 we signed the UN Caring for Climate initiative. This initiative is dedicated to improving the environment and primarily focuses on climate change. By signing the initiative we are obligated to increase our energy efficiency while reducing our CO 2 emissions relative to business development. All corporate decisions are made after a thorough evaluation of the influence they will have on the environment. • For example: the construction of an 11,000 square meter production and logistics hall at our plant in Thüringen, Austria targeted the use of existing sources for heating and cooling the new facility. Instead of using gas-fired boilers and electric-powered cooling units, existing waste heat is deployed for both cooling and warming via an ecological energy-sharing system. • We have a comprehensive supplier audit management system to ensure that the ecological and social standards defined in our code of conduct are also maintained by our suppliers. CO 2 emissions per employee: 2006 5.37 tons 2007 5.07 tons 2008 4.78 tons 2009 4.54 tons For additional information on <strong>Hilti</strong>’s environmental protection measures go to: www.hilti.com
