Environmental compliance

Brainlab has implemented processes and standards to restrict the use of hazardous substances. As a result, environmental impact is reduced and human health is protected. Brainlab places high value on sustainability and environmental protection and expects that suppliers act accordingly. Our suppliers, including those situated outside the European Union, are required to fulfill the applicable legal requirements as well as internal specifications.

The identification of REACH substances of very high concern (SVHC) in a product or component creates legal obligations for all participants within the supply chain.

ISO 14001

Brainlab has implemented an Environmental Management System following ISO 14001 which has been certified by TÜV Süd. We focus on continuous improvement in relation to our environmental performance and the fulfillment of our environmental compliance obligations.

Green efforts in daily work

Facility

Brainlab headquarters are LEED gold certified. By using green energy from local suppliers and own Photovoltaic panels, we can operate the building sustainably. Through the “Green Guide for the Office” we encourage employees to consider the environment within their daily work. We support these efforts by applying a digital, paperless approach whenever possible and using most modern IT equipment in order to be energy efficient in our operations.

Information Technology

Over the last several years, we have transitioned to and adopted a digital, paperless approach, ranging from electronic newsletters and signatures to mobile work. We use modern IT equipment to be energy efficient in our operations.

Transportation

Brainlab is committed to reducing the environmental impact from transportation. Limiting business travel, making the office easily accessible by public transportation and including electric cars in the company fleet are just a few examples of our effort to curb our carbon footprint.

Social responsibility and ethical practice

Brainlab seeks to associate and work with suppliers that meet the necessary social and ethical requirements for their employees. This entails following the laws and regulations of their respective countries concerning minimum legal working age, granting the legal minimum wage for working hours, prohibiting forced labor and, most fundamentally, that no discrimination of employees on any basis takes place.
