RESPONSIBILITY

People

Our employees deliver a large part of Metob’s services and have a decisive influence on the quality of our surfaces and on our environmental performance. Every day, our motivated team brings technical expertise, environmental awareness and a strong customer focus to the processing of every order.

Certification to ISO 45001:2018

Alongside appreciation and recognition of our employees, occupational health and safety holds an important place in our corporate strategy and policy. ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard for occupational health and safety.

Germany already has very strict occupational safety legislation. This certification serves to embed the statutory requirements firmly in our internal processes.

The benefits of ISO 45001 certification include:

  • identifying shortcomings in occupational health and safety, thereby helping to prevent accidents at work and safety incidents,
  • strengthening the health and motivation of the workforce,
  • greater legal certainty,
  • improving employees’ safety awareness.

Healthy and motivated employees are the key to long-term economic success. With its ISO 45001 certification, Metob Beschichtungen GmbH demonstrates that it lives up to its social responsibility.

We are doing everything we can to measurably reduce the risk of injuries, accidents and work-related illness among our employees and to make our workplaces safer.

SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

As a surface technology company, we bear a special responsibility towards our employees and the environment. All planning and activities are guided by our principles of environmentally responsible conduct. When selecting process media, we give preference to more environmentally friendly solutions that are technically and qualitatively equivalent.

We do this because we are convinced that, in future, only environmentally friendly processes and products will be able to succeed on the market. In our dealings with the authorities, we are committed to openness, reliability and transparency.

CO₂ REDUCTION

Our newly installed photovoltaic systems make a significant contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions. Metob will continue to invest in energy efficiency and in generating its own renewable energy in the years ahead.

In addition, we will increase the share of externally sourced renewable energy to 100% through green electricity products and certificates. This reduces our CO₂ emissions, and we are also committed to climate neutrality (Scope 2) from 2022.

PACKAGING

Under the German Packaging Ordinance, we are obliged to take back, free of charge, any packaging from our products that does not bear the mark of a nationwide collection and recycling scheme, and to ensure that it is reused or disposed of properly.

To arrange the return of such packaging, please contact us:
Metob Beschichtungen GmbH, Röthenstraße 21, 96247 Michelau, Email: info@metob.de

We will then provide you with details of a municipal collection point or a waste management company in your area that will accept the packaging free of charge. If this is not possible, you will be able to send the packaging back to us. We will reuse the packaging or dispose of it in accordance with the Packaging Ordinance.

Ethics, Sustainability and Code of Conduct

Anonymous Whistleblowing System

Compliance with laws, guidelines and voluntary codes is an essential part of our corporate policy. With this in mind, we offer a company compliance management system, supported by GeBuCom (Gesellschaft für Business und Compliance).

Our online complaints management system enables employees and external parties to submit compliance reports confidentially and discreetly. If you become aware of any actions or circumstances that conflict with our code of conduct, please let us know in confidence.

The members of our complaints management team handle every report with the utmost care and confidentiality in order to prevent or minimise any damage. They are there to support all employees, suppliers and customers.

You can submit a report to the complaints management team in just a few steps. Click here to access the anonymous whistleblowing system:
