KAMAX strives for long-term partnerships with customers and suppliers We let our performance speak for itself - both in technical and commercial terms. This creates long-term cooperation with our customers in terms of development and consultation, which goes beyond a simple supplier relationship. This also applies for our main suppliers; we expect them to have the same demands regarding quality and profitability on themselves as we do on ourselves, and we ensure this is the case through audits. KAMAX is strong thanks to the strength of its staff We bring talents into our company and promote their growth and further development. With lots of space for ideas and the assumption of responsibility, we strive to achieve first-class performance and results. Enthusiasm, passion and working together across borders and hierarchies characterize our working atmosphere.

KAMAX does not tolerate any conduct in breach of the law or regulations We operate responsibly and in accordance with legal requirements. Conduct in breach of the law or regulations is not tolerated in the company under any circumstances. We ensure this via globally binding business conduct guidelines, which also demand the ethically correct conduct of all KAMAX staff. KAMAX also feels committed to the needs of society We support the development of our society through constructive contributions of a material and immaterial kind in social, cultural and economic areas. We protect the environment by complying with internal global standards which exceed legal regulations. Occupational, Environmental and Health Protection The economic success of a company can only be secured in the long term if active environmental protection and occupational health and safety are also firmly anchored in the company's ethos as a strategic task. However, simply complying with legal provisions and giving a nod to environmentally conscious and safe conduct is not enough for us. Within the context of the KAMAX management system for environmental protection and occupational health and safety, we are working with high priority towards minimizing the ecological consequences of our prod-ucts and processes and ensuring we are providing safe and healthy working conditions. KAMAX environmental protection and occupational health and safety standards Ensuring we comply with the laws on environmental protection and occupational health and safety is a mat-ter of course for us, but by no means enough. In several areas, our internal rules go above and beyond these. We regularly review our environmental protection and occupational health and safety policies and integrate new developments. Products, processes, and working environment When optimizing our products and processes, as well as continuing to develop and select our raw, auxiliary, and operating materials, we are consistently taking ecological and occupational safety relevant findings into consideration. Both within the context of the production sequences and in our administrative area, we are continuously trying to improve the energy efficiency. We permanently monitor the environmental impact of our locations and are trying to take suitable measures while using the best available technology. When doing so, we are proactive, because taking pre-cautions is better than a cure. Ultimately, it is our prod-ucts themselves with their optimized properties which ensure that vehicle engines and components can be smaller, therefore allowing emissions caused by mobility to be minimized. Our vision is to be able to work healthily and safely without any occupational diseases and without accidents. All of our decisions and actions are based on the physical, mental, and spiritual integrity of our employees. This includes creating safe and healthy working environments and our obligation to eliminate dangers and occupational and health risks. Mental health and ergo-nomic aspects are becoming increasingly important here. Employees and employee representatives are actively involved in process design. We consider it to be a matter of course to provide the resources for this. Support and motivation Environmental protection and occupational health and safety are based on everyone acting responsibly. Every employee is jointly responsible for the behavior in their working environment and every manager is responsible for setting an example for taking on this responsibility and providing support. KAMAX actively supports the development of employees' awareness of environmental protection and occupational health and safety at all levels through training, instruction, information, and active involvement of employees and their representatives in designing processes. Our declared aim is to continuously improve the environmental protection and occupational health and safety and to integrate it into all processes. Our top priority is motivating our employees to be proactive and attentive to their environment, themselves, and others. Conduct in the event of an emergency and averting danger Together with experts and government agencies, we have developed detailed alarm and hazard prevention plans that are tailored to the conditions of the respective locations. With regular instruction as well as emergency exercises, we are making sure that the employ-ees are aware of these plans and also that their effectiveness is continuously reviewed. Review of effectiveness With regular audits and other defined measures, we evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of our environmental / occupational health and safety management system and all aspects related to our activities. Apart from that, Senior Management are defining necessary correction measures as well as new aims in Manage-ment Reviews to improve our environmental protec-tion and occupational health and safety performance. Communication We operate a transparent information policy. Both our customers and the interested public regularly find out which measures and results we are using to sustainably stand up for environmental protection and occupa-tional health and safety.
