To support sustainable development and protect the health of KUKA employees, we work with quality management systems. Our current certificates:

The health and safety accreditation system CHAS is a certification scheme for the construction industry. It serves both purchasers and suppliers as a means of assessing the health and safety competence of a company.
ISO 45001 (safety and health at work)
ISO 45001 describes requirements for an occupational health and safety management system and instructions for implementation.
Environmental management systems and certificates
Through our environmental management system and energy management system, we ensure that the approach, extent and impact of our activities, products and services are appropriate. That is why we are continuously improving this management system and working to avoid environmental pollution. Our sustainability certificates in this area:
