Working Toward a "Green Company"
The recent ISO 14001 standards re-certification of the INFICON Cologne facility in August 2008 is a further step in our efforts to implement more comprehensive and sustainable guidelines and processes.

"Environmentally-oriented management and processes are growing in importance in our industry," explains Dieter Kuck, Environmental Manager for INFICON Cologne. "Building awareness and increasing the use of sustainable processes is a key part of our global business strategy - and our future success."

With the recent re-certification by the DQS (German Standards Certification Association), INFICON has focused efforts on three areas:

1. Corporate level (energy consumption, waste, packaging, & suppliers)
2. Environmentally-compatible construction
3. Environmentally neutral products & services

Dieter Kuck adds: "By implementing and maintaining these guidelines and all the ISO 14001 standards, we, as a company and as working individuals, constantly evaluate what aspects of our work are environmentally relevant; what the environmental consequences are; and, what can we do to "get greener.""

Environmental policy is a key part of the way INFICON does business today. Should you have any questions about our environmental policies, please contact us directly:
