2 | Introduction
What others call eco-friendly,
we've always called Bosch engineering.
For Bosch, producing quality, effi cient, effective products that use fewer resources
for better results isn't a fad or a new approach — it's what we've always done. Creating
powerful, well-made appliances that use less, while you get more. Using an innovative
technology and smart engineering to make products that improve not only our daily life,
but the future as well. However you want to defi ne it, as "green", as "effi cient" or simply
as "Bosch", it's the result of having a heritage of innovation and a continuing commitment
to quality in everything we do.
Quality
Like the ingredients used in preparing
the perfect meal, every Bosch appliance
is built with only the fi nest materials.
Assembled with robotic precision, then
tested to ensure they meet the standards
set by our German engineers. The word
"perfectionist" should leap to mind. In
fact, nothing — not one product bearing
the Bosch logo — l eaves our factory until
it's 100%.
Effi ciency
An amazing machine that risks harming
the environment is as unacceptable to
us as a green appliance that doesn't
do its job. More than creating the
most innovative appliances available,
Bosch engineering balances the
highest performance achievable with
the least amount of impact on the
environment. Enough so as to earn
ENERGY STAR® ratings for every one
of our clothes washers, refrigerators,
and dishwashers.
Sustainability
Bosch is a recognized as a worldwide
leader in sustainable manufacturing.
By fully embracing green manufacturing
technologies, we were the fi rst manu-
facturer in the world to discontinue
the use of CFCs in the production of
our refrigerators. As well as the fi rst to
have all of our facilities certifi ed 14001
by the International Organization for
Standardization, meaning we adhere to
the strictest environmental codes.
