As an industrial company and due to the energy-intensiv production process and products, we are aware of our responsibility for the climate and society. We take responsibility and actively tackle the issue of climate protection. We do not follow the mainstream, but our convictions. We have been reducing our energy consumption and emissions through various measures for many years. As a result, we have already achieved significantly more than required and want to reach our target of climate neutrality well ahead of the EU target.

Climate protection and the economy does not have to Be a contradiction
It is our goal to combine both
OUR TARGETS
CLIMATE NEUTRAL 2040
5 years ahead of EU target
Implementation of a holistic approach to the extraction, utilisation and recycling of resources used (circular economy)
Use of materials with ever-increasing recycled proportion
Efficient use of energy in the production process
Use of 100 % of alternative energies or climate-neutral energies
Use of exclusively climate-neutral materials and products
CURRENT MEASURES
We don't talk - we do.
Organisational integration of the goal climate neutrality 2040 through the introduction of sustainability teams and environmental officers with direct reporting to the management board
Continuous implementation of a holistic approach to energy production and consumption. For example, the business and operating premises are heated with waste heat from steam production
Research and development projects with our most important partners regarding the use of recyclate in production factors used
Climate-neutral production of the required electricity through photovoltaics
Member of "Climate-friendly SMEs"
MEASURES
ENERGY CONSUMPTION
ENERGY SAVING
Reduction through innovation
As a result, CO2 emissions have been reduced by more than 65% since 2007 while production volumes have increased
Due to innovative improvements in the production process, energy consumption in the area of fossil fuels has been reduced by more than 20%, particularly in recent years.
By optimizing the production process and acquiring new partners, we have managed to reduce the production waste of PE foam and reuse 100% of it.
Our annual electricity production corresponds to the average consumption of a small village
our energy consumption per product is equivalent to only 0.7% of the carbon footprint of a t-shirt over the product's lifetime
SUSTAINABLE - THANKS TO STRONG PARTNER
Due to the measures we have already implemented, we have been able to realize major energy savings. Thanks to our strong partners, we will continue on this path with determination in order to achieve our target of "climate neutrality by 2040".
