Environmental management

APRIL 2024


Certification DIN EN ISO 14001 - environmental management

PCE Deutschland GmbH considers the responsible use of natural resources to be extremely important and was certified according to the environmental standard DIN EN ISO 14001 on 21 April 2024. This international standard defines requirements for an environmental management system that a company can use to improve its environmental performance, fulfil legal and other obligations and achieve environmental goals.

At PCE Deutschland GmbH, the carbon footprint has been optimised through measures such as the vehicle fleet which now includes 27 electric cars. All employees have been trained on the subject of "waste at the workplace". The aim here was to sort waste correctly in order to ensure the best possible disposal. However, the issue of waste avoidance is also a top priority at PCE Deutschland GmbH, which is why the company is striving for a "paperless office". In addition, the future transition to packaging made from recycled materials will further improve environmental performance.
