The Andritz Group is committed to promoting environmental protection and conservation of natural resources. Due to the standardization of the core processes, all plants and systems delivered to different Andritz customers around the world comply with the highest environmental standards. This is essential as most countries have implemented comprehensive and stringent environmental constraints, such as mandatory environmental impact assessments. The protection of environment and natural resources are distinct features of many Andritz products in all of Andritz’s Business Areas.
Andritz not only contributes to the protection of the environment and the careful use of resources with a number of products but also conforms to the highest standards in its operations and processes. One of the symbols for the successful efforts of the company to practice state-of-the-art protection of the environment is the “Ökoprofit” award the Graz site of Andritz AG has won back-to-back for many years. The ongoing participation in the Ökoprofit external certification program and the goal to win again challenges Andritz to continuously improve in the ecological sector.
Andritz takes pride in its efforts for the environment. Accordingly, an active information policy ensures that communications and dialogues with the authorities, stakeholders, neighboring dwellers and the general public are based on transparency and trust. One example of Andritz’s information activities is the Annual Waste Management Report for the Graz site.
The aspects of ecology are an integral element of the training and education programs for the Andritz staff.
