Environmental Protection | |||

At WACKER, environmental protection begins as early as the product-development and plant-planning stages. Our aim is to minimize emissions. Our environmental-protection measures often go beyond what is legally required. WACKER does not set any groupwide goals for reducing emissions, but the individual sites and business divisions set annual targets. These relate directly to the emissions of the individual sites and the requirements of the neighborhood and environment. | |||
