When providing our services and manufacturing our products, we ensure that materials and operating supplies are handled and processed in an energy-saving and resource-conserving manner.

Due to our take-back promise, when disposing of our products, we attach particular importance to separating the components according to their disposal categories and obtaining evidence of proper disposal from certified disposal companies in order to be able to map a seamless product life cycle. Our management approach is based on ISO 9001 quality management. Our sustainability and environmental management was developed based on ISO 14001 and ISO 26000.
