Ecologic Conciousness
Saint-Gobain introduced EHS: environment, health and safety. This programme guides all of our activities and reminds us to act – not only work – in consistence with these three pillars. Therefore we do reclamation of areas affected by mine-related activities. Another example is the cable car transporting raw material from the mining to the plant (see picture on the right). |

Social responsibility
Rigips gets involved with social responsibility day by day. In the Styrian Ausseerland, the home of Rigips´ head office, we are one of the most important employers. We are consious about that fact and work hard to offer an stimulating and satisfying working environment for our employees. We offer flexible working time models to ensure compatibility between work and family. Too, we are proud that we support physically and mentally challenged people within our means. During the production process we stress the importance of on-the-job-safety. |
