Sustainability
Our Path to a Livable Future!
Taking Responsibility
As a family-owned business with over 50 years of tradition, we distinguish ourselves through durable products, a unique culture of appreciation, and a strong connection to the region. Our thoughts and actions have always been shaped by sustainability and responsibility, and we carry the responsibility for the environment, people, and the region with care. The concept of 'enkeltauglich' work has recently gained prominence in our awareness: we are proud to produce products that the world needs. However, we are aware that manufacturing sector companies bear a significant responsibility for protecting and sustaining our planet. Therefore, we strive to use all our resources to combat climate change and make our planet livable for future generations.
Together with a dedicated team, I consider sustainability not only as a responsibility to the present but as an investment in the future – one that secures not only the current success of our company but also makes it 'enkelfähig'.
Our focus areas
Our commitment to sustainable practices is crucial for ensuring a livable future for us all on this planet in the long run. Strategy is a cornerstone for us; as a family-owned business, it is firmly anchored in our fundamental business principles and behaviors, continuously integrated into all processes, and the entire product portfolio.
Our sustainability strategy is based on three pillars:
- Regional Responsibility / Global Mindset
- Climate Protection
- Zero Waste Across the Product Lifecycle
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Ending Global Hunger. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) define 17 goals for global sustainable development, aiming to achieve global prosperity and peace. The 17 goals operate within the three dimensions of sustainability: Ecology, Society, and Economy.
From the spectrum of SDGs, we have identified four focus areas as part of our 2029 strategy. Working collaboratively with stakeholders from research and business, we are focused on contributing to sustainable development.
