That is why every measure to prevent accidents is justified. This applies to the protection of people, facilities and the environment. We pay consistent and systematic attention to health and safety at work, and to ensuring that equipment and vehicles are in perfect working order.

This is the only way to protect the health of our employees, contractors and all other persons involved in the process, as well as the integrity of the facilities. The careful use of resources also plays an important role in this.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, we have introduced our <strong>HSSE management system<\/strong>. This ensures that our personnel, operational, technical and commercial processes are continually reviewed to fulfil our goal of being a safe, efficient and customer-friendly service provider for <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">re<\/span>fuelling and tank farm operations at airports.<\/p>\n<h3>Supporting and challenging our staff<\/h3>\n<p><strong>We invest heavily in training our staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This promotes motivation and confidence. It is particularly important to us that \u2018critical situations\u2019 are identified quickly. We take precautions not only directly with ground staff, but at all levels right up to management.\u00a0This helps us avoid bottlenecks, poor communication or unexpected developments. The aim is to ensure that short-term measures can be taken at any time to avert risks to health, equipment or the customer\u2019s planning. Our internal inspectors regularly check whether our staff and our systems are prepared for this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HSSE rules for transparent risk prevention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With our HSSE rules for our day-to-day safety, we set an example for the industry. We encourage our employees to adapt these principles for personal use and to apply them beyond the workplace \u2013 as these rules can be beneficial in many situations in life. The protection of our facilities is of paramount importance to us. Access to them is therefore restricted to reliable and security-vetted individuals who are authorized to operate within these areas strictly in accordance with our rules and the airport security regulations.<\/p>\n<p>For us, environmental protection means the consistent avoidance of waste, pollution and other forms of impact. To keep these impacts and risks as low as possible, we invest in state-of-the-art technologies when designing our vehicles and facilities.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1779881707813{margin-bottom: 80px !important;padding-top: 60px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;sustainability&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<div class=\"specialheadingbox wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\">\n                <div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 class=\"shheading\">Sustainability<\/h2>\n                    <div class=\"shtext\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Sustainability is one of the key drivers for AFS.

Reducing CO\u2082 emissions is not a one-off measure, but an ongoing commitment that is embedded in everything we do.<\/p>\n<p>With the introduction of e-dispensers, we achieve near-zero emissions, eliminate oil consumption and spillage, reduce noise pollution and ensure that no exhaust fumes are released during fuelling. The batteries can be charged using green electricity, and maintenance is limited solely to the battery system itself.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;21087&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1782218655382{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #F2F2F2 !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;digitalization&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<div class=\"specialheadingbox wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\">\n                <div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 class=\"shheading\">Digitalization<\/h2>\n                    <div class=\"shtext\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Advancing digitalization is a central component of our strategic corporate development.
