Environmental and Ethical Policy
BIOFA AS AN ETHICALLY AWARE COMPANY
BIOFA has a philosophy based on five principles which dictate the day by day as
well as the long term activities of both the companies and employees.
Principle 1 Humanity and Nature
Humanity is ultimately part of Nature and should interact accordingly. Nature,
not humanity, is the single manufacturer of raw materials. Humanity can borrow
substances from Nature but must return them in a condition fit for recycling
into Nature.
The basis of life for all species must be protected to assure their survival.
Only in this way can future generations enjoy a rich and beautiful life.
Manufacturers assume responsibility for their products. Ecological damage must
not be normalised. Every member of the business community is obliged to answer
for their ecological actions just as they do for their economic actions.
Principle 2 The Three Skins
Products designed for the market place, either manufactured or imported, must be
designed to help alleviate the ailments of humanity and the environment. BIOFA
has developed a collection of product offerings designed for three levels:
The first skin:
Food from pure, natural raw materials. Nutritional supplements to help correct
our modern dietary dysfunction.
The second skin:
Cosmetic products to help protect and harmonise our skin, especially in times of
increasingly pollution.
The third skin:
Products made from pure, natural raw materials wherever possible for decorating
our environment.
All products should be as close to nature as possible. They should be designed
to support the immune systems of plants and animals. The procedures used in the
manufacturing process must not differ from those in Nature. The raw materials
must not be altered in a manner exceeding the capabilities of Nature. The
manufacturer of synthetics is excluded due to the inability recycle the waste
and finished products back into nature.
Products offered to the market by BIOFA but manufactured by others are subject
to the same criteria. The business relationship with suppliers should be based
on trust and friendship.
Principle 3 Market Strategy
Advertising should be designed to educate and highlight the product, but should
never manipulate the consumer. The consumer should be seen as responsible and
objective. The confidence of our partners should be won through competence and
quality products. The companies should offer not only products but also concepts
for problem solving.
The European Union comprises the major market sphere. Countries other than
France and Germany are represented by trustworthy partners. Exporters receive
the necessary means of support but must work their markets independently, given
that they have exclusivity. BIOFA work the markets in Germany and France
themselves in collaboration with their trusted partners.
Principle 4 The Responsibility of Capital
Capital represents a tool for attaining the economical and ecological goals
determined by the board.
All means must be undertaken to establish and maintain trust and confidence in
the investors.
Profits serve primarily to strengthen and preserve the market position and
employment power. The employees are entitled to a share of the profits earned
from the market, providing that the financial situation allows for it. The BIOFA
profit-sharing model should be implemented wherever possible.
Principle 5 The Employees
The companies are comprised of entrepreneurs. All positions should be designed
so as to permit autonomous handling within the general guidelines. The
prerequisite for this is a clear assignment of responsibility and competency.
Extraordinary projects must be so planned, that their fulfillment at all levels
can be assured. Employees who fail to take advantage of the offered chances of
co-operation, self improvement and responsibility jeopardize their place of
employment. Human Resource management is based on self-determination at the work
place.
