Quality & Environmental Policy

Quality is not only a central part of our mission statement but is deeply rooted in our DNA. Our daily work and decisions consistently follow the principles outlined below.

Customers and Sales Partners

“Pöttinger is the brand that customers and sales partners enjoy buying and place the greatest trust in.”
All employees of Pöttinger align themselves together with our sales partners consistently toward the customers, because they determine how successful we are.
As a family-owned business, we strive for long-term, predictable, and trustworthy partnerships.
Through innovative waste‑management technology, we sustainably reduce costs and conserve resources, contributing to strengthening the circular economy while considering regional laws and requirements.

Our sales partners identify with the Pöttinger brand and, through trained personnel, fulfill their sales and service obligations.
In the market segments we cover, we expect a significant market share. Offensive marketing strategies and cooperative approaches ensure shared success.

Employees

“Pöttinger is the company where employees enjoy working.”
As a family business, we feel a special responsibility toward our employees.
We promote team‑oriented, non‑hierarchical actions and good personal relationships within the company. We aim to create a climate of trust, openness, and willingness to change, in which our employees can contribute their skills.
We expect professional and disciplined conduct from our employees.
Lifelong learning, motivation, and employee information are highly valued.
We support responsible action by agreeing on achievable goals and clear decision‑making frameworks. The role‑model function of our managers is of great importance in this context.
Ultimately, our corporate goals are best achieved in an environment that encourages and supports employees in reaching their personal goals.
Through a continuous improvement process in all areas (management system, product development, processes, …), we create opportunities to make work more meaningful, efficient, and safe, thereby contributing significantly to the overall success of our company.

Suppliers

“Pöttinger is the company that suppliers enjoy working with.”
We maintain cooperative business relationships with our suppliers. Through open, trustworthy communication, we ensure that both partners can improve their market position. Our goal is to be a long‑term and reliable partner who fulfills its obligations.
Working as a team, suppliers are integrated early and comprehensively into the responsibility of meeting market requirements, enabling continuous improvement in quality and cost.
Supplier selection is based on the optimal balance of quality, delivery flexibility, and price of the materials supplied.

Investors

“Pöttinger is the company that investors enjoy financing and place the greatest trust in.”
It is our duty to meet investors’ expectations for solid and secure returns.
We finance our growth through cash flow.
Stable earnings create the scope for further investments and development, enable the financing of growth and the payment of dividends, and are the best guarantee for existing jobs.
Our responsibility toward investors therefore requires continuous benchmarking in the sense of “best practice.”
We are generally open to strategic cooperations. The foundation remains our independence as a family business.

Environment

“Pöttinger is the company that takes the greatest possible care of the environment in all its actions.”
Our responsibility toward the environment requires the careful use of resources.
In all our activities, we take the greatest possible care of our environment.
We strive for good neighborly relations with local residents and constructive cooperation with authorities. We meet legal and operational requirements as best as possible within economic feasibility, optimize energy use, and reduce or recycle waste wherever possible.
Through innovation, we improve recycling rates, and with dry fermentation we contribute to climate protection.

Environmental Impacts

Based on our environmental policy, we systematically record our environmental impacts in order to derive meaningful and sustainable objectives.
