Our commitment to the environment
Sustainability is at the core of how Rohde & Schwarz manages its business. We are committed to making careful, ecologically sound use of natural resources and minimizing the environmental footprint of our operations wherever we can. Besides reducing and avoiding greenhouse gas emissions, our efforts and initiatives toward sustainability include thorough compliance with prevailing environmental laws, directives and standards such as RoHS, REACH, WEEE and ISO 14001. At the same time, we work to demanding in-house standards, framed in company directives and targets, that are more stringent than today’s statutory requirements.
Environmental responsibility at Rohde & Schwarz encompasses the entire product life cycle, from design and development to production and takeback. It influences all our business processes and shapes the way we manage our company locations. Our continued efforts to advance sustainable environmental practices at Rohde & Schwarz not only reduce our eco-footprint but are also beneficial for our customers.
Environmentally compatible products
Rohde & Schwarz products are environment-friendly throughout their life cycle. When we design new products, we follow internal guidelines on environmentally compatible product design that help reduce energy consumption, minimize waste volumes and avoid harmful substances.
Environmentally friendly processes
Rohde & Schwarz uses raw materials, energy and water as efficiently as possible. We also regularly review and systematically evaluate environmentally significant processes and improve them continuously by updating operating procedures. The Rohde & Schwarz environmental management system is ISO 14001-certified.
Sustainable facility management
We take steps to ensure that the facilities we build and operate around the world protect and preserve resources and the environment as far as possible.
