Many say that only renunciation will help retain our planet's appeal.
We say – there's more: GARGIULO's goal in the area of sustainability is that the current generation will be able to meet its needs without future generations suffering from this..
Sustainability is central to GARGIULO's corporate strategy. Progress in this area safeguards our future and increases the value of our company. We therefore understand added value comprehensively – and measure the success of our business activities not only on the basis of financial key figures. Our sustainability strategy is reflected in the economic and ecological actions of our company. Our basic goals: To protect the environment, to promote the well-being of people – and thereby to bring people, space and the environment into harmony.
An important part of the sustainability strategy at GARGIULO is its active and integrated quality, energy, environmental and occupational health and safety management. This is reflected in all departments of GARGIULO GmbH – from the procurement of raw materials and development and production to logistics and disposal. The main goal here is to ensure the highest standards with all products and services in all departments and processes. This not only prevents errors, but also ensures continuous improvement in all products and processes.
In order to be able to offer high-quality and individual products as well as services, GARGIULO sets high quality standards for employees, work processes, materials and production plants with its zero-defect strategy. Thanks to almost complete in-house production – from raw materials to finished products – we can monitor all production phases ourselves. Our processes and products are continuously improved in our in-house Quality Assurance department, for example with production monitoring around the clock as well as material testing and product testing in our own laboratory and production facility. All products naturally meet the special national and international standards, such as RAL in Germany, CSTB in France and ATG in Belgium. GARGIULO also had its quality management system certified according to ISO 9001:2015 in 2017. In this way, we can always maintain our products and services at the highest technological standard and execute orders in a timely manner.
The in-house Quality Management and Quality Assurance department plans and creates quality assurance measures on a permanent basis, such as the organisational sequence of production tests, test plans, test equipment and the planning of the entire documentation. In addition, the Quality Assurance department continuously monitors the products in the production process and documents test results. This not only improves the order situation and reduces the sources of errors. Since the department was founded in 2009, we have more than halved the cost of complaints and reduced complaints by two-thirds.
GARGIULO began to establish its own energy management system in 2013 in order to identify the potential savings in the company and therefore continuously improve the energy efficiency in the long term. The energy management system was successfully certified according to ISO 50001 in 2014. Consequently, GARGIULO makes an important contribution to protecting our environment. We are proud that our employees are trained to take a more responsible approach to using the limited natural resources on our Earth. We can therefore continuously develop new energy-saving solutions and identify new potential savings. In addition, GARGIULO participates in regional energy-saving projects.
In 2017, we implemented an environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001 and successfully certified it for the first time. The respective national, statutory and regulatory provisions for this are deemed to be minimum requirements. GARGIULO therefore tests all of its products with respect to their entire life cycle in order to preserve and recycle the valuable products in an optimum material loop. The use of recycled materials plays a role here that is as important as the potential 100 percent recyclability. All employees are continuously encouraged to use the raw materials carefully in order to achieve minimal waste. This reduces the incoming and outgoing waste and also the energy impact on the company's own waste grinders.
The health and safety of our employees and customers as well as our social responsibility vis-à-vis the public are a matter of great importance in our company. Our employee responsibility is the result of our long-term human resources policy. The focus of our human resources management is on the encouragement and qualification of our employees. Their competence and motivation have a decisive role in achieving our goals.
GARGIULO demonstrably complies with the statutory directives on occupational health and safety and regularly conducts in-house health and safety training. Consequently, GARGIULO makes a significant contribution to in-house safety and preserves the health of its employees. Furthermore, GARGIULO obligates its employees to comply with the requirements of laws, standards and directives in order to ensure the welfare of our customers and business partners, our employees and the environment.
