Sustainability at CK Chemie

Obligation towards people and nature


Overview

Sustainability in all areas is becoming increasingly important for our strategic alignment and we have already achieved a great deal. We regard responsible and sustainable operations as a moral obligation towards people and the environment. Our customers also find it increasingly important to track processes and verify their sustainability.

As contract manufacturers, we work with chemical products of all classifications. From this alone, it is our obligation to act ecologically, economically and sustainably and continually improve processes. With this in mind, our employees are constantly trained and intensively prepared for their work.

Certified management systems

It goes without saying that all our work is carried out exclusively in compliance with the legal regulations. The certificates we hold also serve as an important basis for maintaining a trusting relationship with our customers. CK Chemie GmbH is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management), DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management), DIN ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point), in order to ensure the safety of food.

Documented work processes in every area of our operations ensure compliance with quality standards, employee protection requirements and the achievement of environmental goals. Our services are based on extensive risk assessment of operations and processed products.

Transparency also when it comes to ethical obligations

We work transparently and like the principle of Kaizen, we strive for constant improvement. This is why our company adapts flexibly to meet current requirements and takes into account expectations for the future. We welcome and encourage change. Contact us if you have any questions or suggestions regarding our company standards.

Objectives

Our qualitative and quantitative objectives for the protection of the environment are ambitious. They apply to all areas of production and administration: waste, sewage, energy consumption and water consumption. Through continuous optimisation of the supply chain, we have already improved sustainability and environmental protection significantly. In addition, we also regularly check all processes at CK Chemie GmbH with regard to their improvement for the benefit of people and the environment. The achievement of objectives is subject to internal and external controls. Do you have any questions regarding our standards and objectives? If so, contact us, we are always happy to help.

Management systems

Our customers benefit from the efficiency and sustainability of internationally recognised management systems. These systems and associated control mechanisms form the basis of our sustainability strategy. The need to constantly improve is something the executive board, management and employees in all business areas strive for.

The quality management system to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 defines internal and external standards. Processes are defined, tested and adapted if necessary. Our environmental management system conforms to DIN EN ISO 14001:2015. In addition to quality and environmental protection, the company attaches great importance to the health and safety of employees and their environment. DIN ISO 45001:2018 supports employees in the handling of chemicals and work equipment and helps to make the company safer. The goals we have set ourselves are high and we strive to achieve them.

By using the HACCP concept, we ensure the safe handling of food-related products ― from processing and storage through to loading and transport. Our trained personnel defines possible risks and develops measures for their prevention. Based on extensive documentation, both employees and customers can track these measures.

Environment

We cover 60% of our energy requirement through modern photovoltaic systems on the roof of our production building. Prior to this, we had invested in energy-saving lighting technology. As far as saving energy is concerned, we are ready to invest. This reduces the impact on the environment and costs.

We are also aware of the importance of conserving water and use it sparingly. We regularly look at processes to see where we can save. We treat sewage with due care.

We dispose of all waste properly and in compliance with the legal regulations. We avoid and reduce waste in advance, as far as this is meaningful and possible.

A further environmental issue are emissions. We use modern, highly efficient technologies for the prevention and minimisation of noise and dust emissions. All employees are trained in handling chemicals responsibly. As an operator of an approved facility in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act, CK Chemie GmbH is obliged to constantly assess and monitor its facility.

Customers

Our customers regard us as a reliable partner. We extensively analyse their needs and requirements in personal discussions. Having a direct line to our customers is very important to us. This saves them time and they know that we are always ready to listen. Many years of trusting partnerships with customers from diverse industries confirm that we are following the right path.
