TQ assumes responsibility

Environmental protection and saving energy play an important role in ensuring our future and the future of our children. That is why they are an integral part of our corporate principle and our quality management systems.

We make a significant contribution to environmental protection with our environmental-friendly processes, resources and products. This applies in like manner for the development of products as well as in our production and logistics.
Environmental aspects guide us in our selection of suppliers and in our interaction with business partners. We audit suppliers ourselves and check their compliance with environmental protection standards. This applies to foreign business partners in particular. Criteria involved in the verification process include among others sewage treatment, exhaust air filter systems, and the health and safety of staff.

All departments of our enterprise are aware of the need to protect our environment and also to use our resources and energy as economically as possible. This applies to all production and business processes and concerns all employees. Each employee makes a significant contribution to environmental protection, for example by saving power, handling raw materials economically, separating waste, forming car pools, making sparing use of air-conditioning and heating, selecting energy-saving raw materials and a lot more. 

TÜV has confirmed our major requirements to protect the environment: Since 2002 TQ has been certified in accordance with the environmental standard ISO 14001. Furthermore, TQ participates in the Bavarian Environmental Pact - for sustainable growth with environmental and climate protection.

TQ launched the TQ Children’s Home Hirschkäfer in September 2009. The day care center in Seefeld/Delling offers a creche and kindergarten to the children of the TQ employees as well as to the children from the surrounding municipalities.  

The essential objectives of the TQ Children’s Home Hirschkäfer are:

  • to communicate joy in nature, plants, animals, movement and music,
  • to promote a varied and manifold development for the children,
  • to provide a natural, healthy and balanced nutrition and
  • to interact with respect with the children.

Seven teachers and childcare workers look after 40 children in two groups. They moved to a bright new building on a piece of land which measures 8000 m2 and is close to nature.

We offer places for training and practical training in order to make a contribution to the safeguarding of our competitiveness and also to have an adequate number of qualified employees for the future. Our object is to provide the young people with the best prerequisites for a successful start in their professional life.

Vocational training

TQ provides training for four professions:

  • Industrial salesman/saleswoman,
  • male/female electronic technicians for apparatuses and systems and
  • male/female mechatronic technicians
  • male/female logistics technician

There are presently 35 persons at all levels of the training programs at TQ (Status: February 2012). Our demands for theoretical and practical training are very high – considering we would like to absorb the trainees as competent employees in TQ at the end of the training session.

Practical training

Along with our own vocational training we maintain close contacts with universities, technical colleges and other higher schools of learning, an important measure in order to be able to cover our future requirement of personnel. We arrange information events and continuously take on practical trainees and interns during their vacations. The students get acquainted with our company by working there and can gain extensive practical experience and thus obtain a good basis for a possible employment in our enterprise at a later date.

Dual study courses

We offer the practical components of Bachelor studies “Electrical Engineering and Information technology" within the framework of our education program “University Dual” together with the University of Munich. Theory phases at the university alternate with practical training at TQ. The students interact at development projects for renowned customers. They are supported in this by an experienced mentor. Presently four students are participating in the dual study program with advanced experience at TQ (Status: February 2012).

Our employees have various possibilities specific to TQ to make provisions for old age apart from the mandatory social security. The most important support is the TQ old-age pension scheme, which ensures a employer-financed company pension for the TQ work force.
