Strategy and Governance

WACKER uses a groupwide environmental management system to manage all its environmental concerns. This includes our impacts in terms of emissions and the use of critical substances. We describe our general environmental policy and governance in the “General disclosures on environmental standards” section.

Compliance with legal regulations and minimizing our impacts in terms of emissions and the use of critical substances is a top priority for us. This includes strict compliance with critical limits, the safe operation of our plants and responsible practices with critical substances. Group coordinators for environmental protection, product safety, and safety are primarily responsible for implementing our policy throughout the Group and managing our targets using the relevant regulations and provisions as well as standard processes and actions.

The Group regulation governing environmental protection, health protection, safety and product safety, and dangerous goods management, as described in the “General disclosures on environmental standards” section, covers the management of emissions as well as the handling of critical substances.
