SMA Mineral - A world full of lime

Work Environment for
Wellbeing and Performance

For SMA Mineral, social responsibility is an integral part of our long-term strategy. We focus on creating a safe and stimulating working environment where commitment and pride drive the business forward.

For SMA Mineral, a sustainable work environment means creating a place where safety is combined with enjoyment at work. We build an inclusive culture where every employee feels valued and looks forward to the workday.

By offering meaningful tasks that match each individual’s skills and interests, we promote both personal development and operational efficiency. Our goals are achieved through proactive risk management, continuous training, and ongoing dialogue.

We prioritise open communication where safety always comes first. By continuously developing our work environment, we ensure an attractive workplace where our employees are given the conditions to reach their full potential.

Strategic Skills Development as a Tool for a Safe Workplace

At our production facilities, continuous training forms the foundation of a safe working environment. Through our affiliation with SSG (Standard Solutions Group), we harmonise safety requirements for both our own employees and contractors. We ensure that all personnel have the necessary skills and training to work safely and responsibly.

Engaged Employees – Our Strategy for Long-Term Success

At SMA Mineral, engaged employees are one of our most important strategic assets. We are convinced that employee engagement is key to long-term success and a decisive factor in achieving our wider strategic goals. To ensure this, we actively listen to our employees, monitor their wellbeing, and gather their views on important matters.

Human Rights and Compliance with Labour Law

Respect for human rights is a cornerstone of SMA Mineral’s operations. Our ambition is to ensure ethical conditions throughout the entire production chain, from raw material extraction to delivery. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and inclusive working environment where individual rights are at the centre.

Systematic Work for Health and Safety

A safe working environment is the foundation of our employees’ engagement and a prerequisite for achieving our strategic goals. We work in accordance with ISO 45001 to maintain a high structural standard in our health and safety management. This is based on a systematic approach involving regular safety rounds, pulse surveys via Winningtemp, and structured employee dialogues.

Strategies for Accident Prevention

SMA Mineral works actively to minimise the number of accidents. We prioritise eliminating or mitigating risks, even in situations where personal protective equipment is still required. To ensure a solid foundation of competence in workplace health and safety, we use SSG training courses. At certain facilities, additional local safety training programmes are also required.

Training and Education

At our production facilities, continuous training is a key element in maintaining a safe working environment. Through our affiliation with SSG (Standard Solutions Group), we harmonise safety requirements for both our own employees and contractors.

Social Responsibility and Employee Wellbeing

SMA Mineral supports local associations and sports organisations, with a particular focus on youth activities and partnerships that reflect our values. As part of our social responsibility efforts, we make annual charitable donations – in 2025, support was provided to SOS Children’s Villages – and we sponsor local initiatives such as football schools. We also promote healthy lifestyles among our employees through a wellness policy that encourages health, wellbeing, and individual initiatives in everyday life.
