This environment serves as both an inspiration and a commitment for RITAG to handle the environment and natural resources responsibly. By establishing an integrated management system (according to DIN EN ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001) for environmental protection, occupational health, and safety, we aim to ensure that environmental considerations and impact assessments are integrated into all activities, processes, and products of RITAG from the outset. We take our collaboration with authorities, associations, and other institutions in environmental protection very seriously. Compliance with legal environmental regulations is a commitment and minimum requirement that we strive to exceed. Through continuous improvement of our operational environmental protection measures, we aim to avoid harmful environmental impacts caused by our company. We implement technical and organizational measures to prevent environmentally harmful emissions due to accidents, such as fires or water damage. RITAG promotes environmental knowledge and awareness among its employees through internal communication and training. Our employees are encouraged to act responsibly – even beyond their operational activities. The management of RITAG reviews the functionality of the environmental management system annually and will further develop and improve the environmental policy and related objectives. **RITAG Occupational Health and Safety Policy** The majority of RITAG employees are characterized by long tenure and responsible actions in their activities. Due to their experience and specific skills, they are difficult to replace. This, alongside legal requirements, motivates and obligates us to protect and maintain the health and employability of our employees to the best of our ability. Each individual employee of our company also bears responsibility for safety and health protection at their workplace. Suggestions from employees regarding changes and workplace design are evaluated promptly by RITAG and implemented if necessary. We are aware of our legal obligations and ensure through annual risk assessments, an active reporting system, and regular internal audits that our processes comply with the current legal and other regulations in the field of occupational health and safety. To continuously improve our performance in occupational health and safety, RITAG works closely with the prevention service of the professional association, an external safety expert, and the Bremen occupational health center. The goal is to avoid work-related illnesses through ergonomic workplace design and reliable early detection. We also include visitors and other non-employees in our safety considerations. Through simple and understandable safety rules, we aim to achieve maximum safety for this group. As part of an annual management review, the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of this policy and our environmental, occupational health, and safety management systems are evaluated by RITAG management.
