It is the task of all Bosch associates to help protect the well-being and safety of people and the environment, as well as maintain strict compliance with all laws and regulations pertaining to these issues. As a corporate leader, it is our task to recognize if such dangers exist and undertake appropriate actions to correct them.

We review our processes and our corporate activities on a regular basis, as well as measure their effects on people and on the environment. We do this to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure the ongoing effectiveness of our programs to protect people’s health and reduce environmental impact.
