Quality, energy and environmental policy

The quality policy of BAYERN-CHEMIE

BAYERN-CHEMIE is an acknowledged technological leader and the MBDA centre of competence for high-end rocket propulsion and special pyrotechnic systems. Trust, reliability, respect and fairness – these values shape our actions, both within the company and towards our customers and suppliers. They are part of our company’s DNA.

Our customers rely on our products in the most difficult situations, under extreme conditions. We aim at fulfilling their expectations at any given point in time and, if possible, at exceeding them. Faulty products are not an option for us, and reliability and safety are indispensable. This aspiration forms the basis for constructive, fair, and successful long-term relationships. We are only satisfied if our products work perfectly throughout their entire useful lives.

We thrive for total quality – at any time, and in everything we do. Our employees are familiar with our quality policy and are aware of their responsibility for turning this aspiration into every-day reality. As a company, we support them by providing comprehensive training and qualifi-cation means. Furthermore, by maintaining the highest possible workplace standards, we safe-guard health and safety of each individual and of the company overall.

Our production processes and products are characterised by innovation and experience. We are continuously working to improve their quality. Product safety is at the centre of our attention. Prevention and anticipation help us to avoid errors and save costs.

Our continuous strive for improvement enables us to avoid risks and generate significant oppor¬tunities in our competitive environment. Standing still means falling behind. Thus, we are also continuously improving our business management system. Best practice examples are guiding us, and international norms such as DIN EN 9100 and AQAP 2110 are providing the necessary framework, along with the ethical principles of our parent company MBDA Deutschland GmbH and MBDA group, which we fully share and support.

Thus, quality becomes an aspiration for the entire company and affects everyone’s actions – day by day, in every task and without exception.

Environmental protection – our aspiration, our responsibility
The energy and environmental policy of BAYERN-CHEMIE

BAYERN-CHEMIE uses a large number of chemical raw materials and significant amounts of water and energy for the development and production of its products. As part of our social res-ponsibility, environmental awareness and environmentally friendly behaviour are key corner-stones of our company policy and daily work.

In alignment with our parent company MBDA Deutschland GmbH and MBDA group, the guiding principles of our energy and environmental policy are:

  • Environmental protection and improving our energy performance are a management obligation.

  • Our operating processes and required infrastructure must be in line with relevant laws and provisions.

  • Moreover, we evaluate opportunities and risks and derive measures in order to minimise adverse impacts on our environment to the maximum extent possible. We commit ourselves to providing the necessary information as well as human, technological and financial resources to achieve the set objectives.

  • Official authorities and the interested public are partners with whom we actively engage and cooperate for the common good.

  • We consider environmental protection a task which is relevant throughout the entire productlife cycle, including disposal.

  • We expect our suppliers to share our energy and environmental policy and to actively contribute to a sustainable, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient sourcing along the entire supply chain. We prefer energy-efficient products and services, especially when they have a significant impact on improving our energy performance (energy efficiency, energy use and energy consumption).

  • We take energy efficiency into account when purchasing and designing equipment, especially when it has a significant impact on energy performance.

  • We are convinced that the implementation of energy our and environmental policy is only achievable with all our employees actively engaged. Thus, we promote individual, environmentally friendly and energy-saving behaviour and support by appropriate information, training and instruction.

  • We constantly review and improve our energy management and environmental protection processes on the basis of the most recent, generally accepted environmental, procedural and product norms as well as industry agreements. We ensure the continuous improvement of energy performance within the company through continuous monitoring based on defined key performance indicators

Responsibility for our environment – these values shape our actions!
