Environment and Quality

A long-term and sustainable outlook with a view to the future is a requirement and obligation for everyone in the CHIRON Group. As a company, we are aware of our responsibility and are facing global challenges like climate change, efficient use of resources, and reducing CO2 emissions.

Environmental protection, quality, energy consumption, occupational health and safety play a fundamental role in the practices of the CHIRON Group and its employees. Principles and binding specifications define the standards we have set for ourselves here.

Sustainability Report: Sustainability by Performance and Precision

Sustainable behavior is part of the CHIRON Group's DNA and is of huge importance, not only when it comes to maintaining a strong economic performance. We develop solutions for our customers that both conserve resources and increase productivity. With the »Sustainability@CHIRON Group« program, we have laid the foundation for making sustainability a strategic factor in our business model, for us and our customers.

Our GRI-compliant sustainability report, »Sustainability by Performance and Precision«, will describe this strategy, provide information about our activities in all relevant fields, deliver data on successes to date, and look toward future focal issues.

Pioneering environmental balance of the machining centers

The CHIRON Group will also maintain its pioneering role in environmental and quality management. Our machining centers and the machining processes they enable are highly efficient and extremely environmentally friendly in design. The environmental balance of the machining centers not only leads the way in terms of energy requirements, but also in terms of the use of resources such as production time, space requirements, investment, and personnel.

The Blue Competence Initiative

We are partners of the Blue Competence sustainability initiative. This initiative of the VDMA aims to promote sustainability in mechanical and plant engineering and publicize sustainable solutions in the industry. As part of our partnership, we strive to fulfill the twelve sustainability guidelines of the mechanical engineering industry.
