Proactive, Responsible Action

We bear a double responsibility. One is our responsibility to society, which includes succeeding in business so we can offer our employees job security. Another is facing up to the enormous challenge of protecting the climate, conserving our finite reserves of fossil fuels and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. 

We use a natural raw material – wood – and environmentally compatible binders to make modern wood-based materials with the ecological profiles of health- and eco-friendly products. All KRONOTEX products are manufactured using a consistently eco-friendly process and comply with the most demanding technical and environmental requirements. We have implemented and integrated an energy management system that an independent institution has audited and certified as conforming to the stipulations of DIN EN ISO 500001. By means of this system, we have reduced the energy requirements of buildings, electrically powered equipment and transport. The amounts of water, energy and other resources required are systematically measured, recorded and communicated. Our energy management system also includes regular checks and assessments of the environmental situation as well as continual ecological and technical optimisation of all processes. You can download the certificates granted for our energy management system and many others at Services -> Downloads -> Certificates. 

Protection of the environment, occupational safety and measures to safeguard health are anchored in KRONOTEX’s environmental protection guidelines and proactively implemented in accordance with our environmental management system. Both management and employees work responsibly to ensure high value creation while also improving our environmental performance. In the brochure “I love my planet … and eco-friendly wood-based materials”, KRONOTEX shows and describes how it succeeds in producing modern wood-based materials for healthy living using consistently environmentally friendly methods and processes.
