SUSTAINABLE CORPORATE CULTURE
“HIPPE regards protecting people and the environment as a sociopolitical obligation.”
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION WITH VISION
Active environmental protection is not an option for HIPPE, but rather a must. Continuous optimization of processes allows us to reduce environmental impacts before they even take hold. That includes exceeding the requirements of Germany’s emissions legislation: our thermal exhaust-gas scrubbing plants reduce levels of pollutants to values that lie well below the prescribed limits. In addition, intensive exploitation of existing heat sources enables us to cut the use of primary energy and thus minimize CO2 emissions.
Our plants have been approved and constructed according to the provisions of Germany’s emissions legislation (BImSchG – Bundes- Immissionsschutz- gesetz). That also involved paying special attention to complying with the
HIPPE regards protecting people and the environment as a socio-political obligation. So, in addition to the alternative energy and environmental management systems accredited to DIN EN ISO 14001 at both plants, we have set up an internal working group of engineers whose task is to implement environmental and safety stipulations in such a way that they exceed all the legal requirements.
