Sustainability and protection of the environment – BODY PRODUCTS’ environmental management system.

As the manufacturer, importer and distributor of medical products and personal protective equipment, we help people to stay healthy and to protect them.

It is important to BODY PRODUCTS that we take responsibility towards future generations, protect our nature and environment, and act responsibly with the scarce resources that are available to us.

In October 2022, we achieved one of the milestones in accepting this responsibility with certification to international standard DIN EN ISO 14001:2015. BODY PRODUCTS’ environmental management project was launched in 2022 with the aim of documenting our commitment to sustainability with certification to DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 in cooperation with certification body PÜG Prüf- und Überwachungsgesellschaft mbH.

“Our motto in environmental management is based, among other things, on the principle of ‘reduce and compensate’,” says Ute Nauth, Head of Quality Management at BODY PRODUCTS. “To this end, we have calculated the relevant environmental indicators in order to continuously monitor our energy consumption figures and to control the goals we have set for the sustainable use of our resources, and in particular our electricity, gas, water and fuel consumption. Our aim is to achieve climate neutrality in the long term.”

BODY PRODUCTS compensates for unavoidable emissions by supporting various climate protection projects. For instance, we support “Let trees grow up to the sky”, an environmental project in the Rhein-Erft district, and by doing so contribute to the preservation of our forests and compensation areas in the Rhein-Erft district, where BODY PRODUCTS is based.

We do not believe that sustainability and protection of the environment can be achieved by pursuing individual measures, but that it can only be successful if we act with far-sightedness and perspective. To this end, as a company we have decided to further advance our efforts in this area and to set up a holistic sustainability management system.
