Boehringer Ingelheim Corporate social responsibility: We care for our environment

Statement from our "Leitbild"

We care...
for our environment

In all our activities we will protect our employees, the facilities and the environment from harmful influences, conserve natural resources and promote environmental awareness.

These tenets, which are firmly established in our guiding principles (Leitbild) and formulated in our Principles on Safety, Quality and Environmental Protection, are put into practice through systematic Environmental protection, Health and Safety (EHS) management. Global standards are defined and enforced wherever they are indicated. Annual goals and various initiatives help to ensure continuous improvement. Our EHS status is checked regularly through audits by Corporate Headquarters.

2006:
ISO 14001 certification in Italy and Japan

	Every plant undertakes to set up a local management system and is free to have this certified or not. In 2006 our chemical site in Fornovo, Italy, and the pharmaceutical site in Yamagata, Japan, were certified according to the international standard ISO 14001.
