A global quality and environmental policy establishes the main guideline for our products, services and processes.

With the implementation of our integrated management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 14001 in 2001 we have established a firm basis, which corroborates our customer's confidence in the name ISUZU MOTORS Germany GmbH. In June 2004 and in July 2007 the Technical Inspection Authority of Southern Germany successfully re-certificated IMG according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 14001.

Following the company's strategy, we have a management system consisting of documented principles and procedures, with which we

  • fulfill the requirements according to DIN EN ISO 9001, as well as expectations regarding quality of the services and the strategic aims
  • meet the requirements according to DIN EN ISO 14001 as well as expectations pertaining to environmental protection with reference to our activities and services, and
  • fulfill the tasks and duties of the company for the maintenance of security and health of our employees.

Our quality and environmental principles as well as procedure regulations described in the Q+E management manual are binding for each division and department within our company. Every employee is individually obligated to meet the quality and environmental claims and take responsibility for the compliance, perpetuation and improvement of our documented business processes. Thus we assure that legal regulations regarding occupational health and safety, environmental protection and quality assurance are observed as well as improved incessantly. Quality assurance meetings at regular intervals assure the efficient flow of information through the entire company.

Quality and environmental aims

In order to control the effects that our company has on the environment we compile a life cycle assessment (LCA) / ecological balance. Therewith goes a systematical analysis of products, materials and processes in consideration of ecological aspects to make optimized decisions regarding our environment, our society and our employees. Thus we succeeded for example to continuously increase the utilization of capacity of our test benches and keep the energy consumption constant at the same time.

Our quality and environmental goals aim to decrease the energy consumption for gas, water, electricity and emissions produced on site as well as to adjust engines developed at ISUZU MOTORS Germany GmbH, to the strictest applicable exhaust legislations. We intend to meet the increasing requirements to diminish emission figures and simultaneously satisfy our customer's wish for more output and power.

Although the results performed at ISUZU MOTORS Germany GmbH are far below the demanded limit values for exhaust and noise emission, our employees are anxious to continuously reduce these values while optimizing the business procedures. Additionally we work relentlessly preparing for the exhaust-emission standard V/VI (Abgasnorm Euro V/VI).
