Sustainable corporate management based on responsible conduct
For us, sustainability means securing the company’s long-term success while protecting the natural resources of this and future generations. We are strongly committed to this.
For this reason, BHS-Sonthofen operates an integrated management system (IMS) that combines the certification areas of quality (according to ISO 9001), the environment (according to ISO 14001) and work and health (according to ISO 45001). We submit all these areas to regular checks as part of internal and external audits.

Keeping our staff safe
Occupational safety is a central success factor and an integral component of our corporate culture. We strive to minimize operational risks from the outset and continuously improve the health and safety of our employees.
Our plants are designed to provide the highest level of safety for operators and the environment. We achieve this by always opting for the safest technology that is economically viable. Safe handling as well as constant checks and maintenance of the systems further support safe operation. For us, it is a matter of course that our systems fulfill legal and official requirements.
We have drawn up concrete guidelines for the protection of people and the environment. These serve as a blueprint for the environmentally aware conduct of all employees and our partners.
