Porsche and the Environment
Environmental guidelines
We develop and produce exclusive vehicles 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 jus-
tifiable.
– Economical usage of energy and resources.
– Involvement of our business partners and con-
tractors in our efforts to protect the environ-
ment.
– Open dialogue with all social groups.
California Proposition 65 Warning
Warning!
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and cer-
tain vehicle components contain or emit chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause can-
cer 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 reproduc-
tive 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 re-
duce solvent emissions by 70 per cent.
The water used in the painting installation is re-
circulated. Waste water leaves the Porsche facto-
ry 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.
