Management policy of Salzgitter Mannesmann Großrohr GmbH

The company guidelines as well as the 5P company model of the Salzgitter AG form the basis of the activities of Salzgitter Mannesmann Großrohr GmbH. The success of our activities is ensured by employing our Personnel, by safe and efficient Processes, high-quality Products, and reliable Partners and is shown via Profit.

Salzgitter Mannesmann Großrohr delivers products of constant and excellent quality to its customers. This high quality is based on systematic and orderly proceeding of all staff members when performing all activities connected with the principles of the management system. Salzgitter Mannesmann Großrohr applies an Integrated Management System (IMS), since the top management of Salzgitter Mannesmann Großrohr is convinced that quality-, environment-, and safety-conscious thinking and acting essentially contribute to the success of the organization. Thus, apart from economic efficiency, productivity, and quality, the freedom from bodily harm and an environment-saving production are company targets of equal value.

We are striving for an open and trustful communication for laying the basis for a forward-looking cooperation not only for in-house communication, but also for the external dialogue with business partners, public authorities, associations, and residents.

We strive for ensuring continual profit gaining and appreciation and simultaneously complying with our great demands on quality, safety of facilities, and procedures as well as occupational health and safety and environmental protection. Respect and observance of statutory conditions belong to our self-image and are minimum requirements at the same time.

We take matters of environmental protection, occupational health and safety for all strategic decisions to the same extent into consideration as for complying with our contractual stipulations. For all areas of Salzgitter Mannesmann Großrohr, ensuring occupational health and safety and saving the environment are important factors for our activities. Greatest possible safety, optimum health protection, comprehensive environmental protection, excellent quality of our products and performances as well as optimum economic efficiency are company targets of equal importance.

When developing, producing and distributing existing and new products and when performing services:

· we minimize the security risks and risks of injuries,

· we prevent health damages and impairments,

· we take farsighted measures for avoiding hazards,

· we provide responsible handling of substances potentially dangerous to environment,

· we reduce and/or avoid environmental pollutions,

· we optimize our recycling rates,

· we handle natural resources with good ecological and economic sense.

A pipe is a product which shall fulfill an important safety- and environment-relevant function for a long period of time.

This principle considers that quality shall be produced and not only controlled. Each staff member bears responsibility for the overall impression of product and organization.

We promote a working method attaching great importance to safe working. Safe working is a prerequisite for avoiding accidents both when planning and handling orders.

The well-being of its personnel is very important for the Salzgitter Mannesmann Großrohr management. This conviction on occupational health and safety results from the understanding that quality-, environment-, and safety-conscious thinking and acting essentially contribute to the success of the organization.

Safe working implies much more than just wearing personal protective equipment, it is part of conduct, thinking, and acting at work taking colleagues, relatives and environment simultaneously into consideration.

The Salzgitter Mannesmann Großrohr management is convinced that safety-conscious acting essentially contributes to the success of the organization.

We expect that subcontractors taking action in our premises will also identify on all points with these objectives and will act correspondingly.
