Scrap as a raw material for new steel

The production of steel involves a considerable use of energy and raw materials. That is why the responsible use of resources and the continuous improvement of our processes are key priorities for our group of companies.

Our steel is produced from recycled and processed scrap. Steel production at our parent company takes place in an electric arc furnace.

Within the group, we cover the entire steel-related value chain, from steel production through to further processing. This integrated structure enables us to coordinate processes along the value chain and identify opportunities for the efficient use of resources and energy.

Our company policy – the future begins with steel

We are committed to quality, environmental protection within the organisation, efficient energy use and safe working conditions.

We monitor and evaluate our energy and resource consumption and use this information to identify measures to improve our processes. The aim is to achieve economic and environmental synergies through efficient business operations.

The organisation’s quality standards are ensured through a process-driven approach, with customer satisfaction and the transparency of work processes making a decisive strategic contribution to the company’s overall image. Our strategic and operational objectives support this.

LSV Lech-Stahl Veredelung regards environmental protection as an essential component of corporate management and ensures that this is translated into specific targets and codes of conduct. For the first time, a sustainability report for the 2021 business year was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The latest sustainability report can be found in the download area of this website.

In our procurement activities, we take both economic and environmental factors into account.

Energy and resource consumption is continuously recorded and analysed. As part of this process, measures to improve energy efficiency and environmental protection are implemented on an ongoing basis. Key performance indicators demonstrate the effectiveness of the management systems.

Should an accident or incident occur that could potentially have energy or environmental impacts, the appropriate measures set out in the emergency plan must be taken. Impacts on the natural environment are then kept to a minimum wherever possible.

We are committed to the continuous improvement of our integrated management system, taking into account resource consumption and the quality of our products.

The binding obligations of all internal and external stakeholders of the organisation are adhered to in all processes. We also take further action, taking economic feasibility into account.

Through regular staff training, LSV Lech-Stahl Veredelung will promote quality, energy and environmental awareness and encourage appropriate behaviour.

We aim to offer our employees safe and responsible jobs where they can find satisfaction and fulfilment in their work. Together, we are fully committed to ensuring healthy and safe working conditions within our company.

We take part in the Bavarian Environmental Pact (Umweltpakt Bayern) “Strengthening the environment and economy together”. You will find the certificate from the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection under downloads.

 

Certified Environmental Management System in accordance with ISO 14001

LSV certified environmental management system

We are certified according to the international environmental management standard ISO 14001 and therefore meet the accepted requirements for an environmental management system. Thus we have already fulfilled a key component of operational environmental protection and successfully integrated this into our day-to-day operations. Energy and resource efficiency paired with cost reduction is incorporated in the optimisation of our processes.
