HSE – Health, Safety and Environment at HHLA

HSE – Health, Safety and Environment – forms the foundation of our daily activities. We combine health protection, occupational safety, and environmental protection into a strong integrated commitment. At HHLA, safe working conditions, the protection of our employees, and the responsible use of resources are central priorities.

HHLA ensures safe and healthy working conditions. We protect what matters most: the health of our employees. We support all employees in working safely and staying healthy today and in the future.

We advise, support, and design working conditions that promote health and preserve it in the long term.

Examples:

• Occupational medical preventive care through in-house company physicians
• Structured workplace health promotion
• Addiction and social counseling through an internal advisory center

Occupational safety is a key part of our corporate culture. We support managers and employees in identifying risks early and acting safely – both in everyday work and in special situations.

In addition, we support the design of working conditions and workflows as well as training measures in occupational health and safety.

Together, we drive prevention as well as the implementation and continuous development of safety standards. 

Examples:

• Systemic behavior-based safety culture
• Certified occupational health and safety management according to DIN ISO 45001
• Company-wide action days

Environmental protection is an essential part of corporate responsibility. We are committed to the responsible use of resources, reducing emissions, and thereby minimizing risks and impacts on the environment.

Our goal is to promote sustainable solutions and to permanently anchor ecological responsibility in our actions.

Examples:

• Monitoring of emission control with a special focus on active noise protection
• Certified environmental management according to DIN EN ISO 14001
• Exclusive cooperation with certified waste management companies
• Regular implementation of operational emergency drills
• Water protection, e.g. through water treatment plants, rainwater treatment, use of separators, regular wastewater monitoring, retention systems, and impermeable surfaces
