Making a statement with certifications
We value the highest quality, transparency and sustainability. With certifications from independent bodies, we want to gain the trust of customers and partners in our products and services.
The continuous review of our business processes is crucial to ensure error-free results.
In order to fully meet the needs of our customers and at the same time ensure product integrity and service quality, we are committed to aligning and continuously developing our quality assurance system in accordance with EN ISO 9001. Specific quality indicators have been defined in all relevant departments and recorded in corresponding documents. The regular review of these indicators and their transparent communication in all areas of the company are central elements of our quality policy.
We are aware of our ecological responsibility and align our business activities accordingly.
In all our activities, we attach great importance to the careful and efficient use of resources. Compliance with all environmentally relevant laws and regulations is binding for us. We strive to avoid or reduce waste as much as possible. In addition, we actively involve our customers and suppliers in our environmental management and provide authorities and the public with transparent information about our measures.
AST Eis- und Solartechnik GmbH consistently pursues the goal of continuously improving environmental performance and keeping the ecological footprint as small as possible. Below we report on the environmental goals achieved in the 2024 and 2025 financial years.
Our special thanks go to our committed employees who have made a significant contribution to achieving these results.
Glycol management
One focus of our environmental management is the safe storage and use of glycol as a coolant for mobile ice rinks. This is stored in stable, single-walled IBC containers that are correctly labeled in accordance with the CLP regulation. Emergency plans ensure that our employees and operators can react quickly and effectively in the event of a glycol leak. No incident was reported in the 2024/2025 financial year.
Glycol filter mixing plant
To ensure the efficiency and cleanliness of our coolants, we operate an automated filter and mixing plant. This removes rust and dirt particles and ensures the optimal mixing ratio.
The system is mobile and housed in a weatherproof 20' container and can be used flexibly at different locations.
Waste
In accordance with legal requirements, AST constantly monitors the volume of waste and implements continuous and ad hoc measures to reduce the volume of waste.
Vehicles
The modernisation of our vehicle fleet is an ongoing process for us. All newly acquired vehicles have lower fuel consumption, which contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions. The number of our e-vehicles increased to six in the reporting year.
Safety
The protection of our employees is always a major concern for us. As a result, workplace evaluations are regularly updated and additional measures are derived. As in previous years, numerous employee training sessions were held in the 2024/25 financial year to contribute to safety in the workplace.
