Does Infineon Technologies regularly audit and review IMPRES to improve it?
We subject our IMPRES to periodic scrutiny at corporate and site level, and change it where and when necessary. The focus remains on implementing our IMPRES policy and achieving our objectives. We also examine the extent to which sites are achieving their own IMPRES programs and individual targets, and whether they fully comply with our internal regulations and those of legal and official bodies. The most important tools for these examinations are inspections, audits, and management reviews. Audits by external auditors on behalf of Infineon Technologies take place at corporate level, and at our sites. Our Corporate Department for Environmental Affairs & Safety audits the production sites, which in turn perform their own regular internal inspections and audits. This enables us to maintain and improve the efficacy of our IMPRES.
