The Values Of VAT
We accept our responsibility towards our employees, our business partners, the environment and not at last to society as a whole. We feel committed to sustainability, global standards for ethics, environment, health and safety.
With the help of a process management system, we organize, manage and document the process-relevant activities in our company. This includes the measurement and evaluation of process outcomes and the associated comparison with our peers. The continuous improvement and optimization of our business processes is a matter of course. Our company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and undergoes other external assessments on a regular basis.
