Responsibility toward the workforce
As a family-run SME, we regard values such as sustainability and working in partnership as cornerstones of our philosophy. Respect for the environment is something we consider to be just as important as fairness and respect for our fellow human beings
Acting sustainably also means ensuring reliable protection of the workforce against direct and indirect health risks.
Our comprehensive occupational safety concept is based on a holistic view of the work system in place that covers all the relevant technical, organizational, and HR aspects involved in optimizing safety.
Acting responsibly means taking a preventive, systematic, and comprehensive approach to all aspects of safety. This is the only way of identifying, evaluating, and eliminating risks. It involves, for example, designing fault-tolerant plant and equipment that prevent errors and minimize downtime. Safe operation of equipment at our production facilities is ensured by written instructions, training measures, and practical drills.
Product stewardship
Environmentally compatible product design is a mainstay of our efforts to achieve sustainability. An important aspect when developing each new product is to determine whether it can contain a certain percentage of recycled polyol. Where economically feasible, we also consider the possibility of developing a “custom-made” recycled polyol – depending on the anticipated annual purchase quantity. The use of renewable raw materials is becoming increasingly important, too. Instead of looking to synthetic chemicals, preference is given to sourcing natural oils (such as castor oil) as the basis for our products.
The future and our voluntary commitment to sustainability
Companies are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable business practices. This means improving the living conditions of the current generation without compromising the future of generations to come. As a responsible family-run company, the RAMPF Group has undertaken a voluntary commitment to act sustainably. This is not simply a task for management, because at RAMPF everyone pulls together.
Environmental protection
Environmental protection has played an important role at our company from day one. Rudolf Rampf created an initial milestone with the invention of the first polyurethane model making board. One aim of this development was to replace ornamental wood types such as mahogany with plastic in order to avoid further depletion of the world’s forests. In subsequent years, the company took all possible technical and economic measures to minimize environment impact and conserve natural resources.
