Sustainable Conduct

The pursuit of sustainability is deeply rooted in the value foundation of EUROPIPE. Our two parent companies, AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke and Salzgitter Mannesmann GmbH, are the pioneers on the way to CO2-neutral steel production in Germany.

With their production processes and products, EUROPIPE is a decisive element for the innovation and future viability of the global energy supply. As a globally active company, responsible action and a regular critical examination of it are the basis for identifying risks and opportunities at an early stage and initiating targeted improvement processes.

With the active prevention of environmental pollution, we contribute to the protection of healthy ecosystems.

Our endeavor is therefore to reduce energy consumption to a maximum, use water resources sustainably and avoid or recycle waste where possible.

Steel pipes from EUROPIPE are the sustainable quality benchmark for product safety over the entire usage period and a synonym for durability. At the end of their life cycle, they are completely recyclable.

We systematically determine the impact of our production processes on the environment in order to reduce the use of resources. In particular, our goal is to continuously reduce our CO2 footprint - both in production and in the transport of our pipes. We continuously develop our established environmental management system in order to continuously improve our environmental balance.

Health Protection & Safety

EUROPIPE gives highest priority to the health and safety of its employees, contractors and customers. The main aspects of the health and safety system are:

The promotion of health and well-being of our employees, mainly through the health initiative “life! – Simply healthy", a programme which is adapted to the particularities of the pipe production business. It enables all employees, no matter what shifts they work, to use a broad network of sports clubs, company physicians and caterers at low cost. This holistic concept combines sports programmes, preventive medical check-ups, nutrition topics and informative events.

  • Avoiding of work-related sickness through various programmes focussing on creating individual ergonomic workplaces, especially man-machine interfaces.
  • Prevention of accidents through programmes informing staff about correct behaviour and possible hazardous situations, as well as programmes in which all employees actively participate and contribute their ideas on how to avoid accidents.

We ensure for occupational health and safety by:

  • Making occupational health and safety a management responsibility.

  • Identifying risks in all areas of the company and taking preventive action (including emergency plans).

  • Requiring our employees to actively promote and support occupational health and safety for their own sake and for the sake of others.

  • Defining occupational health and safety rules in relation to the places of work; our employees and third-party inspectors are continuously made aware of these rules and receive regular instruction.
  • Making reserves required for the purpose of occupational health and safety an integral part of our planning in order to ensure optimum working conditions and provide each employee with personal protective equipment.
  • Regularly reviewing the efficiency of our occupational health and safety system, establishing statistics and communicating information about the current situation.
  • Encouraging our partners and suppliers to implement similar occupational health and safety systems.
