Sustainability
On this page, we provide information about our principles and measures for responsible corporate governance. Our corporate values of openness, discipline, trust, responsibility and leading by example are at the heart of our approach.
In particular, we provide information on:
- our understanding of ourselves and our responsibility for constructive cooperation within our company,
- our responsibility towards the environment, and
- working together with one another as well as with our customers and business partners.
As a medium-sized family-owned company, we take into account not only economic requirements but also ecological, social and legal aspects when developing our products and making business decisions. These principles provide a framework for our actions.
As a plastics processing company, we combine sound expertise, precise processes and responsible corporate governance. Integrity, compliance with the law, respect for human dignity and social responsibility are essential elements of our corporate identity. Careful and efficient use of energy, raw materials and other resources is just as much a part of our responsible approach as the continuous development of our processes, quality standards and management systems. Our compliance culture and corporate values provide us with a binding framework for our actions.
Our corporate policy is based on four essential pillars
As a manufacturing company, Allit AG Kunststofftechnik bases its business activities on its integrated management system, the process of continuous improvement, employee satisfaction, open and cooperative dialogue with the public, and compliance with applicable laws.
In our manufacturing and procurement processes, we implement measures to prevent and reduce environmental impacts and avoid waste. These include recycling and reuse processes as well as assessing opportunities to use energy and raw materials more efficiently.
When defining our environmental and energy objectives, we take technical, economic and energy-related criteria into account. We regularly record and review the energy use and consumption of relevant processes and, where technically and economically reasonable, derive improvement measures from the results.
Customer satisfaction, the optimisation of products and processes during manufacturing, and our influence on suppliers and service providers together form the basis of quality throughout our company.
Our fundamental approach is guided by human rights and the prohibition of discrimination. This includes fair and employee-oriented working conditions, occupational safety, health protection and compliance with environmental requirements. We protect the trade secrets of Allit AG Kunststofftechnik and of our business partners. We comply with applicable competition rules and with requirements relating to the prevention of corruption and bribery.

Company / Employees / Social Responsibility
Responsible use of resources as well as the long-term development and support of our employees are among our corporate responsibilities.
- Vocational training through the Rotlay-Azubi training programme
Our employees make an important contribution to the success of our company. That is why vocational training is a firmly established part of human resources development at Allit AG Kunststofftechnik. - Further training at the Rotlay Academy
We promote the professional and personal development of our employees. After completing their vocational training, apprentices have the opportunity to gain their first professional experience. Through internal and external training programmes, employees can further develop their professional skills and prepare for the requirements of their jobs as well as for their individual development goals. - Health & safety
Compliance with occupational health and safety measures is very important to us. We continuously develop our workplaces with a forward-looking approach, taking the latest technical and ergonomic requirements into account. All workplaces in administration and manufacturing are planned in accordance with the relevant requirements and are equipped with modern facilities. - Occupational health physician services, as well as the active support of the meetings of the Occupational Health and Safety Committee and the implementation of the resulting measures, are provided throughout all areas of the company.
- Through our Rotlay Runners, Rotlay Walkers and Rotlay Cyclists programmes, as well as bicycle leasing, we create opportunities to promote exercise and well-being together.
- We offer, among other things, annual flu vaccinations.
Regional Social Engagement
In addition to supporting the professional and personal development of all our employees, we are aware of our social responsibility.
As part of our regional engagement, we support:
- the Sophia Kallinowsky Foundation
- the Lions Club, Bad Kreuznach
- the volunteer fire brigade
Integration in the Workplace
Integration is an important social issue for us. We promote a respectful and appreciative working environment while complying with the applicable legal requirements. Where suitably qualified and where the respective activities permit, people with refugee backgrounds and people with disabilities are given the opportunity to work in our company or in our teams. Furthermore, among others, we work with Lebenshilfe-Werkstätten, a workshop for people with disabilities.
Community Activities
Through our community activities, we promote dialogue and cooperation within the company. In cooperation with the works council, we organise internal events such as a family day and a Christmas party. In addition, employees participate in external events, such as the company run in Bad Kreuznach.
Environment / Energy
Allit AG Kunststofftechnik takes environmental and energy-related aspects into account when planning, modernising and further developing its manufacturing and procurement processes. We focus on using energy, raw materials and packaging materials efficiently, as well as on preventing and reducing operational and packaging waste.
- Our energy management system is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001. As part of this management system, we record and assess relevant energy consumption, define energy objectives and derive technical and organisational measures from them. The effectiveness of these measures is reviewed regularly.
- At our site, we use renewable energy sources and assess opportunities for their further use. Photovoltaic systems and heat pump technology are used or further developed wherever they are suitable for the respective buildings and processes.
- We continuously invest in modernising our production facilities and their ancillary systems. In doing so, we take into account not only technical and economic criteria, but also energy consumption and opportunities to improve energy efficiency. This includes, among other things, modern control and cooling technology, the optimisation of cooling circuits and the use of waste heat, where technically and economically reasonable.
- We use post-industrial recycled materials (PIR) and post-consumer recycled materials (PCR) where product characteristics, manufacturing processes and customer requirements permit.
- When selecting and designing packaging, we take into account the amount of material used, opportunities for material recycling and the use of recycled materials. Among other things, we review the use of cardboard packaging and films as well as the associated packaging processes.
- Operational and packaging waste is recorded, reviewed and evaluated. On this basis, we implement measures to prevent waste, reduce waste volumes and improve material recycling.
- We offer take-back options for selected reusable transport containers. Suitable plastic materials can be reprocessed and reused.
- In addition, we ensure that plastic parts are designed to use materials as efficiently as possible. When developing new plastic parts, Allit AG Kunststofftechnik uses CAD and Moldflow technologies that enable us to optimise the weight and properties of our products without compromising their functionality.
- When selecting our raw material suppliers, we take into account the relevant quality, safety and compliance requirements. Recycled materials are used where their suitability for the respective application has been demonstrated and the required customer and product characteristics are met.
- Cross-departmental teams work on the further development and optimisation of our processes for handling plastics, packaging and waste. Relevant operational performance indicators are evaluated and used as a basis for defining and reviewing further measures.
- On our premises and in the surrounding area, we maintain green spaces and riparian areas, including meadows, wildflower areas and tree populations.
- We use suitable means of transport for internal journeys and transportation.

Compliance
Our fundamental approach is shaped by respect for human rights and the prohibition of discrimination, as well as by employee-friendly working conditions, occupational safety, health protection and environmental protection. We naturally protect our company’s trade secrets as well as those of our business partners. In addition, we comply with the applicable competition rules and the prohibitions on corruption and bribery.
We are convinced that a sound compliance culture is essential for complying with legal requirements, implementing voluntary measures as part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR), and ensuring the long-term success of our company. We understand compliance not only as a legal obligation, but also as a fundamental principle underlying our economic, social, ethical and environmental conduct.
To achieve our objectives, our corporate group has had a person responsible for compliance since 2021. Their responsibilities include monitoring the legal requirements relevant to us and supporting and further developing the rules and measures that we have adopted for ourselves.
