Management system

GTP Schäfer aims for constant high standards in quality, safety, environmental protection, and energy management. The continuous improvement of our processes, products, and services is integrated in all aspects of our company.

This holistic approach to standards is guaranteed by our fully documented, integrated management system (IMS) for quality, safety, environmental protection, and energy management. We take our responsibility to fulfill strict ethical and legal requirements extremely seriously. That is why we ask accredited certifiers to examine our IMS independently and with respect to the following standards:

• DIN EN ISO 9001
• DIN EN ISO 14001
• DIN EN ISO 50001
• 12th BImScV (Bundes-Immissionsschutzverordnung), i.e., the German emissions regulations

Our IMS is examined on a continuous basis, both internally and by external experts:

• Riser system and trading goods
• Technical support and logistics services

The IMS is organized as follows:

• The organigram shows the connections between areas of responsibility and the individual parts of our company – departments and employees. A glance at the organigram should be enough to see who is in charge of whom, and how the communications channels are organized.
• The process organization shows the flow of information and materials between business processes that is necessary in order to complete tasks. Rooms, buildings, time, materials, and employees are all included, with the aim of achieving optimal results in a shorter time if possible.
• Business processes are divided between management, delivery, and support. Their interaction is fully documented.

For the IMS, all relevant internal and external subjects as well as interested parties are defined in the context of the company. The company’s policy and its aims are all formulated within the IMS, and their relevance is reviewed as part of the annual management review.
