Sustainability = Responsibility
We take responsibility for the consequences of our entrepreneurial activities.
We promote economic growth through our activities. We accept the obligations that arise for a company beyond these economic achievements.
Compliance with the ethical principles of the Code of Conduct is a matter of course for us. In this way we contribute to sustainable social development, as we are committed not only to the people in our immediate environment but also to society in general.
We maintain and protect our environment continuously through the environmentally conscious use of all methods and materials necessary for the work process. Because the environment must be preserved as the basis of existence for future generations.
Our goal is to live these values in our corporate culture and thus ensure the competitiveness and future viability of the company in the long term.
Our responsibility therefore does not end at the Hall Gate. We expect from our cooperation partners to act in an equally moral and conscientious manner.
In the interests of our customers, the state and Investors – and last but not least our employees – we are obliged to operate the company economically.
We would like to meet these demands by:
- constantly monitor our high quality standards
internally and prove this with certification according to ISO 9001:2015 - deliver consistently high quality products
- ensure short throughput times by ensuring a continuous material flow
- constantly develop ourselves and our products in order to enable progress and remain adaptable
- always up to date with the latest technology.
- put safety tested on the quality seal “GS” and “Made in Germany”
- to ensure a cooperative working atmosphere and a compatible co-existence in everyday working life
- spare the staff long journeys and recruit employees from the surrounding areas – this ensures more satisfaction and also protects the environment
- provide ergonomically designed workstations to minimize safety and health risks
- enabling flexible and family-friendly working hours (e.g. through flexitime)
- offer young people the opportunity of a sound vocational training and thus the foundation for a secure future
- give our employees the opportunity to develop themselves throughout their lives through training and further education
- to be fair, equal and non-discriminatory in recruitment and employment
- carefully select our suppliers according to ethical criteria: no child or forced labour, no additional purchases of products manufactured under questionable or inhumane conditions.
- use the Caritas workshops to show respect and recognition to people with mental and physical disabilities that they deserve.
- always happy to celebrate and laugh together
We are responsible for our environment and nature. We feel obliged to use raw materials and resources in an environmentally friendly and economical way.
We would like to fulfil this obligation by:
- provide the shortest possible distances for employees and suppliers and prefer cooperation partners from the region.
- use high-quality and durable materials for our products – low wear means conservation of resources
- use recyclable materials
- use solar energy with a photovoltaic system to reduce our electricity consumption.
- offer our intermediaries direct delivery to the end customer in order to avoid transport routes to intermediate warehouses.
- increased digital availability of advertising and information material
- repair instead of replace if possible
We want to continuously improve our company’s impact on the environment. This can only be achieved with data-based environmental management. For this reason, we continuously collect decisive environmental parameters and optimise them. Our environmental management is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001.
Environmental information on disposal and return options for non-privately used old electrical and electronic devices in accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)
The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) is the German implementation of the European WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) policy.
As a manufacturer of extraction technology, the aspect of emission reduction is part of our corporate philosophy. Consequently, an environmentally friendly and holistic approach to products and processes is important to us. We therefore comply with the obligations of the ElektroG and draw your attention to the following: The proper disposal of old electrical devices is of particular relevance to the environment. Old devices can not only contain harmful substances that pose a risk to the health of humans and animals, but also contain important recources that should be returned to the economic cycle.
In order to meet these requirements, we hereby inform owners of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) that they are legally obliged to dispose of WEEE at designated collection points and not in the normal household waste. Suitable disposal points are provided, for example, by the municipalities. Before disposal, it is important to remove lamps, batteries and accumulators that are not firmly enclosed in the WEEE from the old device without destroying them. These should be disposed of separately at suitable collection points.
Users are also obliged to delete personal data from the old electrical devices to be disposed of on their own responsibility.
The symbol of a crossed-out waste bin shown below can be found on all electrical appliances. This symbol indicates the obligation to dispose of old electrical appliances separately. It also indicates suitable collection points.
Disposal points for batteries are marked with the following symbol:
We would be pleased to inform you personally about the proper disposal of EVO-PRODUCTS waste electrical equipment. To do so, please contact us by e-mail at orga@evo-products.de
In general, it should be noted that in order to avoid waste, it is first and foremost necessary to check whether it is possible to repair the electrical appliance. Of course, we are pleased to offer you our service. Further information on waste prevention for consumers and tips on disposal can be found on the website of the German Federal Environment Agency: Wohin mit dem Elektroschrott? | Umweltbundesamt
