Action plan:

The highly innovative drive and control technology products manufactured by AMKmotion 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.
