AMK participates in ÖKOPROFIT

For the AMK group, sustainable protection of the environment is a key business
objective. AMK wants to ensure that it is fully able to take on its responsibility
to reconcile economic challenges with ecological requirements - and that the company leads by example in doing so.
As part of the ÖKOPROFIT project, AMK’s senior managers and employees intend to
work together to actively initiate improvements at the AMK site, based
on the "Local Agenda 21" initiative.

Action plan:

The highly innovative drive and control technology products manufactured by AMK
already meet today’s stringent requirements in terms of energy usage and environmental
friendliness, and particular attention will be paid to sustaining and even improving this
during ongoing product development.

Optimizing operational processes and activities should not only reduce the use of
resources and energy, but also make optimum use of existing sources of energy and
resources. Environmentally-friendly developments are being
implemented in production processes.

In terms of purchasing raw, auxiliary and operating materials, we are committed to using products which do not harm the environment. When selecting suppliers, we apply both economic and ecological criteria, seeking out for example environmentally-friendly production processes and short transport routes.
For us, the key to ensuring that quality requirements regarding the environment are met is to make sure that we comply with the relevant legal specifications and regulations.

Our holistic approach also makes provision for employee information and motivation. Continuous professional development and ongoing provision of information will enable us to make improvements on both
an economic and an ecological basis.
