Our environmental protection actions

Environmental protection shows in our own actions. The continuous improvement of our environmental balance is firmly anchored in our ambitious environmental goals and commit us to maintaining and further developing our environmental management system in accordance with DIN ISO EN 14001: 2015.

We cover energy requirements with a 250kWp solar system and the
Use of district heating generated by waste heat from the nearby mineral oil refinery.
We're working on our life cycle assessment for our products.
When choosing our logistics partners, we pay attention to the CO2-neutral service provision.

Occupational safety is not only reflected in compliance with the minimum standards, but also in

preventive measures through the most modern storage technology,
ergonomic workplaces and
employee support during regular medical checkups.

It goes without saying that we oblige all of our suppliers to adhere to the RoHS and Reach guidelines.

Health protection and Labor safety

Our commitment is a guideline for the entire company, all locations and business units of the ABEG Group, especially Findling Wälzlager GmbH, and therefore applies equally to each of us. On the one hand, it represents the demand we place on ourselves to live up to the values and principles listed therein and at the same time signals responsible behavior towards all interested parties.

PPWR-compliant, transparent and traceable

The new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has significant practical implications for manufacturers and suppliers: packaging must be traceable and compliant throughout the entire supply chain. To address this, Findling Wälzlager has established a digital process that provides product- and transport-specific information on packaging types, components, recycled content, and declarations of conformity. Suppliers outside the EU are also integrated into the system.
