Environmental policy

At Bang & Olufsen we have an integrated thinking about the environmental actions our production and products have on our employees, customers and surroundings. We use the word “environment” broadly covering the disciplines of work environment, product environment and the external environment.

Bang & Olufsen as an environmentally responsible company desires to create sustainable products. The considerations involved in the operation, design, and longevity of our products must be in mutual balance with the environmental impact of production.
 

• Develop and produce products under circumstances that comply with the demands of the standards ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.   

• Continuously seek to prevent or improve:
  • The work environment with benefit for the health and safety of our employees.
  • Work related illnesses and/or injury.
  • Environmental impact from our production and products that could inflict on the surroundings. 

• Communicate openly on environmental issues related to our production and products.

• Maintain a high level of informational transparency to enlighten employees on the environmental initiatives so it becomes a visible and natural part of the daily routine.

• Secure that persons working for, and on behalf, of Bang & Olufsen have the necessary knowledge about environment to carry out their work in a responsible manner.

• Observe Bang & Olufsen’s environmental rules and other requirements we have pledged to observe, and as a minimum observe existing legislation in the countries where we produce and sell our products.
