Responsibility is our policy
Dr. Suwelack has centred its activities in its Billerbeck base for 140 years. Our company is shaped by the typical values of a family organisation and has close ties with the region and its people. It is second nature for us to assume responsibility – for our company, our workforce and our environment.
Responsibility for our company means constantly increasing the value and, in turn, the future viability of the company by means of excellent performance and sound commercial management. We want to be among the best in our markets. We aim to be the market leaders with our core products. In this way, we also safeguard jobs and the importance of Dr. Suwelack as an economic factor in the region.
Strong values such as respectful interaction, expertise and passion as well as continuous development shape our corporate culture. This applies both within the company and to the long-term, partnership-based relationships with our customers and suppliers. Our business partners have the same high ethical and social standards that we do.
We acknowledge our responsibility towards our employees with our Code of Conduct. After all they are our strength and our greatest asset. We set great store by creating a healthy, safe and positive working atmosphere and by providing our employees with plenty of opportunities to develop their potential. Safety at work is a top priority for us. We adhere strictly to all legal requirements, conduct safety audits and provide regular information and training to our employees, and this is confirmed by the existing ISO 45001 certification from external auditors.
Protecting the environment is also of central importance. In manufacturing our products, we aim to minimise the strain on the environment and to use natural resources economically. This applies to environmentally relevant aspects in the upstream supply chain as well as production-related air pollution control, waste avoidance, reduction of water consumption or reduction of wastewater volumes. To do so, all relevant processes in the company need to be observed and optimised on an ongoing basis. Our clear priority is to avoid, reduce and utilise waste rather than disposing of it.
We also use renewable energy sources for generating energy.
Our investment decisions take not only commercial aspects into account but also the impact on the environment. Particular attention is paid to CO2 reduction. Our energy policy focuses on the efficient use of energy. By using an energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001, we ensure that we comply with all legal requirements which are energetically relevant and, in addition, we work to minimise the specific energy consumption.
For Dr. Suwelack, compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as all other statutory provisions and voluntary commitments, is a matter of course. We have developed and introduced suitable and efficient management systems to ensure this and, in addition, we embrace a philosophy of continuous self-improvement. We subject the quality of these systems and our products to external checks in a variety of different forms, e.g. by certifications.
