We stand for quality. We stand for the environment.
One key aspect of our corporate strategy is a comprehensive approach to environmental protection and quality assurance for our products.
Our success as a company depends on the quality of our products, the services that our employees provide and the customer satisfaction that results from our approach.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
CSR means responsible behavior with respect to sustainable development.
The integration of social and ecological concerns into the operating activities plays an essential role, as well as the relationship to stakeholders, including employees, customers, investors and government.
In 2024, Alzchem once again underwent an independent CSR rating from EcoVadis, the world's leading provider of sustainability assessments. After several gold awards in recent years, Alzchem was able to further improve its rating. In recognition of its achievements in sustainability, the company was awarded the highest distinction, the platinum medal, for the first time. This accolade confirms Alzchem's responsible handling of people and the environment. The company's activities are evaluated in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. With a score of 84 out of 100 points, Alzchem ranks among the top 1 percent of companies worldwide assessed by EcoVadis.
Our environment
As one of the founding members of the first and second “Bavarian Environmental Agreement” we feel particularly committed to the principles of “Sustainable Economic Growth in the 21st century”. The main idea of this Agreement is to combine the efforts of the Bavarian state and the Bavarian industry in order to achieve a long lasting environmentally compatible economic development.
Through discussions with our customers, neighbors, employees, environmental associates and politicians we can offer responsible solutions. Together we will improve the conditions at our plant sites and increase the efficiency of our manufacturing processes. The involvement of our employees concerning environment, safety, health and quality matters is of highest importance.
