An interview with our HSE Manager Jeannette Donda

Health, safety and the environment

New HSE department at Mounting Systems: a safe step towards sustainability and health

Since October, we have had a new Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) department in the company. As part of quality management, it ensures compliance with legal requirements in health protection, occupational safety and environmental management. In short, it creates the framework conditions that enable a safe and sustainable working environment from which Mounting Systems and its employees benefit!

As we wanted to find out more about the area, we conducted an interview with Jeannette, our HSE Manager. Below you can find out more about her and her new tasks and how we can all benefit from her and her area of responsibility in the company.

Interview

An interview about responsibility, sustainability and the importance of teamwork

What are you responsible for as HSE Manager?
Für welche Themen bist Du verantwortlich?

Jeannette: I am the central point of contact both internally and externally when it comes to health protection, occupational safety and environmental management. I create standardised processes and framework conditions based on legal requirements. These ensure a safe working environment, healthy employees and a sustainable corporate policy.

Why did you decide to do this?

Jeannette: I love familiarising myself with new tasks and taking on responsibility. My business studies and ten years of self-employment have given me an entrepreneurial mindset. This is necessary in order to recognise risks at an early stage, derive measures and make decisions. On the other hand, it is always important to me to see people, recognise needs and work for the well-being of others.

Have you set yourself any goals? If so, what do they look like?

Jeannette: The specific target images for the individual areas are currently being developed. Irrespective of this, however, I have a vision. And that is that health, safety and environmental responsibility are firmly anchored in our MSY corporate philosophy.

If you had one wish in the work context, what would it be?

Jeannette: My wish is that the framework conditions I have created are filled with life. This means that people understand why it is necessary to integrate this area into everyday working life and how each individual can make their own contribution.

Sustainability has become such a hackneyed word. What does that mean for you in concrete terms?

Jeannette: For me, sustainable means that I consciously and mindfully do things in such a way that they are meaningful in the moment and have a positive long-term impact on the world and everyone involved. A radiance from the present into the future, so to speak.

How do you integrate the topic of sustainability into your private life?

Jeannette: This happens in many different ways. For example, in my interpersonal relationships - with family, friends and at work. Or it manifests itself in my connection to nature or in my respect for our resources. In September, for example, I cycled from Berlin to Usedom with two friends and our bikes - I'm still living on that time and will certainly tell my (great-)grandchildren about it.
