As a technology orientated company we undertake to use resources sparingly and to respect the need for sustainability in the context of the environment.

To guarantee lasting environmentally-friendly development and to achieve continual improvement, Kässbohrer has now implemented comprehensive environmental management in all business processes and is certified in accordance with the internationally recognised environmental management standard ISO 14001:2001.

Measures for more environmental sustainability and even higher quality:

• Energy recovery was built into both test facilities, in which every vehicle undergoes strict testing before delivery.
• Heat recovery in the paintshop to reduce heating energy needs.
• Upgrading to more efficient and more environmentally-friendly electrostatic finishing procedures.
• Suction-adhesive devices at all assembly stations.
• Switch in track production from pneumatic screw drivers to electric screw drivers to save energy and to increase quality thanks to greater process security.

The “Blue Flag” is a globally recognised mark of quality and is now used at more than 3,450 bathing spots and marinas in 41 countries in Europe, Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and the Caribbean. It is an international symbol of compliance with high environmental standards and good sanitary and safety facilities in the marina and bathing spot area. All marinas and beaches awarded the Blue Flag fulfil diverse criteria, such as good bathing water quality, clean beaches, sanitary and safety facilities, first aid. Continual checks by the Blue Flag inspectors guarantee high quality in the long-term.

For local authorities the Blue Flag represents an enormous advantage over neighbouring communities. Well-maintained beaches are an important competitive factor for hotels, beach operators and communities. This quality mark is increasingly becoming a decisive criteria for tourists when planning their holidays. The state of the beach leaves a lasting impression. BeachTech offers the necessary technology. It supports efforts to create a perfectly maintained beach. Only satisfied tourists will return.

By using paper from FSC-certified production chains we help to ensure that the forests remain ecologically intact and that countless employees and their families around the world can enjoy social security. Look out for this symbol in the future.
