Sustainability

Rába operates an Environmental Management System (KIR – EMS) in the interest of sustainable development and growth. Our key objective in this area is to steadily reduce the environmental burden whilst meeting legal and other environmental requirements.

Our environmental policy is based upon the recognition that sustainable business management is important not only for environmental and social reasons but also makes the operation more economically efficient. The four basic principles of our policy are:

–     Prevention of the emission of harmful substances and pollutants;

–     Protection of the status of waters, air and soil as well as of homogeneous living conditions;

–     Reduction of material consumption, emissions and waste production;

–     Steady increase in the recycling of wastes.

Rába is steadily and closely cooperating with authorities, municipalities, customers and suppliers. The group views the engagement of its staff as the key means of achieving its goals and thus expects all employees to work in compliance with the principles defined in the environmental policy.

Social responsibility

Social presence is now an obligation, as companies have to take into account their immediate environment and society when doing business. Corporate social responsibility can help a company to operate in harmony with its environment in the long term, while maintaining its business focus, values and competitiveness. Engaged, value-driven, ethical action can be a competitive advantage.

Rába Plc, as a company with its decision-making centre and sites in Hungary, working for international markets, makes it a priority to ensure that its organisation demonstrates ethical business conduct, operates in an environmentally responsible manner and is a committed representative of social responsibility. The company follows Hungarian and international standards in its core documents, which are formulated in line with these principles.

For Rába, social responsibility is a corporate governance method and approach. Our management systems are continuously evaluated and, if necessary, modified in order to ensure that they are always operational and effective in changing business and legal circumstances.

Our principles

  • Responsible corporate governance
  • Fair and honest business relationships with our partners
  • We take responsibility for our shareholders’ investments to provide them with a long-term, competitive return
  • We strive to increase the proportion of domestic suppliers in our operations
  • Fair trade

history

Rába was founded in Győr on 28. December, 1896. Spanning over the entire 20th century, the company developed a business model and operating mode in terms of products, operating processes and management methods applied, which have proven to be successful, allowing the company to adapt to the ever-changing and hectic social, political, economic and market environment. The company also adjusted successfully to the ownership relations transformed in the course of historical events.  Owing to the pragmatic management, Rába is probably the only prestigious Hungarian company in the machine industry that managed to survive, retaining its independence while keeping the professional, human and social values of earlier periods.

Rába does not intend to live on its past but rather to always meet the challenges of the present, however the traditions and history of the company represent important values. The past 125 years have taught us to still create value on an ongoing basis, as a Hungarian-owned, independent company and to be present on the most important markets of world economy, from the United States through Europe, Russia and the CIS region to Japan.  Today 90 % of Rába’s sales revenues are generated on export markets, in the automotive industry, one of the world’s most dynamically developing sectors.
