In harmony with the environment—our responsibility for the future
"We believe that our most important task is to shape technological progress and the future of mankind—in harmony with our environment." Therefore, as a modern, global Group, we take a forward-looking and environmentally aware approach. With over 95 percent of our locations certified in accordance with the environmental management standards DIN EN ISO 14001 and/-or EMAS II, MAHLE is also one of the leading automotive suppliers in the area of environmental protection.
Safety at work and health care, equally as important as environmental protection, are firmly rooted in the corporate principles and cover all locations worldwide. National legal requirements form the basis for our ambitious goals relating to conservation of resources and optimization of production processes.
Targeted employee information facilitates responsible action at all levels. At the same time, we obtain valuable suggestions for further improvements. The process structure used across the Group, which sets standards worldwide, ensures that procedures can be implemented within the framework of an integrated environmental protection and safety at work system from planning to development—whether in Europe or in Asia.
MAHLE's introduction of environmental management in 1996 has generated considerable savings and led to a minimization of potential health and environmental risks in the past decade.
Helping to make mobility more environmentally friendly
The most substantial contribution to easing the burden on the environment is made by our core products. Innovative technologies that reduce fuel consumption and emissions will have a positive effect on the environment for years to come in millions of vehicles around the globe. MAHLE's activated carbon canisters for the aeration and ventilation of fuel tanks save around two million liters of fuel per year. Reducing weight and friction in pistons and other engine components is our contribution to improving efficiency and reducing emissions.
