Porsche and the Environment
Environmental guidelines
We develop and produce exclusive sports cars with
advanced environmental and safety technology
and a great ability to fascinate.
Our environmental policy is based on the
following principles:
– The maximum possible use of environmental
and safety technology that is economically
justifiable.
– Economical usage of energy and resources.
– Involvement of our business partners and
contractors in our efforts to protect the
environment.
– Open dialogue with all social groups.
California Proposition 65 Warning
Warning!
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and
certain vehicle components contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids
contained in vehicles and certain products of
component wear contain or emit chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Production
Whether in production or repair, Porsche always
relies on environmentally friendly technology. An
example of this is the water-based paint used in our
painting installations. Water-base paints and new
painting methods reduce solvent emissions by 70
per cent. The water used in the painting installation
is re-circulated. Waste water leaves the Porsche
factory only after being appropriately treated.
A waste-management system has been introduced
to reduce the amount of waste while simultaneous-
ly increasing the recycling rate.
Environmentally friendly vehicles
Modern environmental technology ensures
compliance with all emission laws applicable
worldwide.
These have the following advantages:
– Rapid operational readiness of the catalytic
converters ensures low emissions, even in
short-trip operation.
– Reliable operation and good emission control
over a long useful life.
