WACKER can be made liable for environmental and other damage arising from ongoing production operations and from possible legacy contamination. We counter such risks with preventive measures and have established sufficient provisions to cover any anticipated claims.
WACKER’s production facilities meet high technical and safety standards. However, operating malfunctions cannot be ruled out. Issues such as environmental protection, plant/workplace safety, and employee health are vital. WACKER has globally binding principles, regulations and monitoring instruments. Aside from appropriate insurance coverage, we have developed emergency-response plans that are regularly reviewed and practiced in training exercises. A substantial part of our investment spending goes into plant maintenance. We monitor maintenance extensively and regularly perform inspections to ensure the highest possible level of operational safety at our production sites.
