We apply internal checks, guidelines, and procedures to ensure that SEW‑EURODRIVE operates in line with all the laws, regulations, and ethical standards that apply to us. Over and above this, we have also set out our own principles that guide our day-to-day operations.
We always operate in the interests of sustainability and take into account ecological, economic, and social considerations.
Our strategic objectives are:
As part of our long-term sustainability initiative, we aim to optimize our entire value creation chain. This initiative is being coordinated by a Sustainability Committee that reports directly to the management team and includes representatives from all divisions of the company. We present the results of these efforts to the public in the form of a sustainability report.
We are dedicated to quality in all areas and functions.
Our business practices are geared toward our aim of zero defects:
Quality-relevant processes, specifications, and instructions are documented and help all staff to achieve high levels of customer satisfaction. We also reinforce and promote personal responsibility through measures such as training at our DriveAcademy®, which offers an outstanding learning environment.
We are committed to protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. We ensure that energy is used efficiently in our products and during their manufacture.
Continuously improving our operational environmental protection and preventing environmental pollution: We strive to make efficient use of all the energy that is required throughout the entire product life cycle, and also help to safeguard resources as a result.
We help our customers implement their own energy-efficiency activities by creating the products they need, developing automation solutions, and providing appropriate services.
We place particular value on occupational health and safety so we can avoid or reduce work-related accidents and health problems effectively.
A whole range of products are created with features that offer functional safety. This enables us to actively contribute to occupational safety beyond our company.
Corporate security and data protection affect us all.
By putting in place effective data protection and product security, we can safeguard the continuity of our commercial activities and ensure our innovations and processes are protected.
Every individual must know their responsibilities and act accordingly on a daily basis.
