In tune with the environment

Hawle Armaturen GmbH puts the issue of the environment and how to protect it into practice in every single aspect of its work. In its environmental policy, the company commits itself to 14 mandatory guidelines for environmental protection, which encompass every area of the company.

Since 1996 the Freilassing and Fürstenwalde sites have had a certified European environmental management tool that complies with EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) in place. Where alternative sources of energy are concerned, Hawle is putting its trust in environmentally friendly solar power and has installed an extensive solar panel system at both sites.

The production processes which have undergone optimisation over several years are helping to save resources; in its position as a manufacturer of fittings for municipal potable water, Hawle is keenly aware of the sensitivity that surrounds this issue. The award of the 1998/99 environmental prize by the company Arbeitsgemeinschaft Selbstständiger Unternehmer e.V. has highlighted Hawle's endeavours in this area.

However, transparency and information are also crucial factors in environmental protection. The person to contact for all questions relating to environmental issues is:
