Protecting people also means taking responsibility for the environment. And we take this responsibility very seriously by voluntarily exceeding statutory requirements for environmental protection.

We take responsibility

Environmental protection starts right at the development phase – and doesn't stop even when the product is ready: Every employee at Himex and its partners makes a constant effort each day to handle resources responsibly. The concept of the environment is a core part of our daily life and our operational activities.
