How important is environmental protection for Danzer Group?
Environmental protection is the focal point of our sustainability management. In 1994, Danzer Group started to introduce an environmental management system (EMS) in accordance with the draft of international standard ISO 14001 that was finally published in 1996. The ISO 14001:2004 standard is recognized both by governments as well as a number of industrial sectors. Thus there are now internally binding specifications for all companies with comprehensive reporting and controlling obligations, whose observance will be verified by external experts. In the environmental and safety management systems at Danzer, the obligatory principles for sustainable management of tropical forests are also defined.
