Our Environmental and
Energy Policies
Comprehensive environmental protection is a key factor in our company philosophy. We analyze our company’s impacts on and consequences for our environment and keep identifying potential for improvement. This is done by an on-going review of what we do and how we do it.
All employees are adequately trained to increase their environmental awareness. We aim to protect our environment during every individual production step. Our environmental management system is certified according to ISO 14001. This does not only apply to AURORA Germany, but also for our three AURORA locations in North America, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
