Corporate responsibility

Code of Conduct: binding rules of procedure for all employees

All employees within the company group have agreed to abide by our Code of Conduct. This sets out the values that we consider both morally and ethically imperative as a company, namely:

• Upholding the law
• Fair competition
• Refusal to engage in corruption and graft
• Observance of basic labour rights
• Blanket ban on child and forced labour
• Health, safety and the environment
• Proper handling of information/privacy policy
• Separation of corporate and private interests 

Environmental protection: our duty to the natural world

Everyone – and manufacturing in particular – must do their part to ensure the sustainable and responsible use of natural resources. ROWA GROUP supports both internal and external efforts to ensure environmentally responsible business. We take care of our environment and are economical with natural resources. From a business perspective, we also view environmental protection as a key factor that can work to improve the competitiveness of our company. We use targeted vocational and further training to improve employee awareness and motivation concerning environmentally responsible behaviour.

Energy: a responsible attitude to using natural resources

The chemicals industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors. The ROWA GROUP is also committed to continuously monitoring the energy efficiency of its processes – to ensure it remains competitive on the one hand, and to make its own contribution to environmental and climate protection on the other.

We believe that our declared objective of ensuring the continuous improvement of our energy-related performance constitutes a key factor for entrepreneurial success. We achieve this in particular by the increasingly efficient use of our primary energy sources: electricity and natural gas.

Product safety: always on the safe side

For products used in the automotive sector and medical technology or food contact materials, customer-specific regulatory frameworks set high standards of product safety and product liability alike for suppliers and their organisations. In this area, we have appointed Product Safety Officers who are tasked with analysing and improving our safety-related manufacturing and testing processes.
