+ Quality checks are carried out at defined stages of the production process

+ Digital document workflows are used in administration to reduce paper consumption

+ Selected modular sleep systems allow individual components to be replaced or upgraded

+ Electrical equipment: disposal in accordance with the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act and registration requirements of stiftung EAR

Logistics Measures
