Ecological sustainability

As a company operating globally, OBO has a great responsibility. We are aware of this and react with sustainable, considerate actions, in order to take care of energy and resources. OBO pledges itself to the maintenance of natural resources and the protection of global ecosystems to promote health and happiness – both now and in the future.

We stand for these values:

  • Responsibility
  • Foresight
  • Consideration
  • Awareness

Responsibility

Quality, customer satisfaction and efficiency are some of the key factors through which OBO has stood out from the competition for over 110 years. DIN EN ISO 9001 specifies the minimum requirements, in order to fulfil customer requirements as well as additional requirements for our product and service quality. OBO has been certified to ISO 9001 since 1995. Since that time, we have continually developed the quality of our processes, which we are able to prove in regular inspection audits.

Foresight

In a business sense, we take a long-term approach where we also think about tomorrow. Both for us as a company and for the environment and society. This means that we act in a manner that takes care of resources and is environmentally aware, for example by reducing pollutants and waste and saving energy and water.

Consideration

OBO is considerate – in relation to the natural world and its resources. At our different international locations, we use energy from renewable sources, increase the recycled material component in our production and employ countless smaller measures in different areas of the corporate group. Small measures which can make a great difference to our environment – for example, the use of biodegradable cleaning agents.

Awareness

OBO is fully aware of its responsibilities to the environment and to society. We wish to nurture this consciousness at all levels: with our employees, our customers and our partners. This is why we make all our employees aware of the relevant environmental and social topics and make them a fixed part of internal and external procedures. We work closely with our partners to create a more sustainable future.

OBO is part of the energy revolution

 

Power from renewable energies supplies OBO locations

Renewable energies do not create any CO2 in their production, meaning that they are ideal for slowing down climate change. OBO wishes to play an active role in the energy revolution and therefore already uses sustainable sources of energy in its international locations.
