Follow the journey along the product lifecycle
We strive to implement sustainable practices/policies throughout the entire product life cycle. From thoughtful design and responsible purchasing to efficient logistics, production, and innovative recycling or remanufacturing solutions, we are actively taking steps to reduce our environmental impact. By embracing a circular perspective, we can identify and address key areas for improvement across our products' entire life cycle. With this approach, we also aim to support our customers in successfully transitioning to a circular economy, reducing their carbon footprint over the whole value chain.
Initiating the journey through innovative design
We aim to design our products to decrease energy demand and resource consumption throughout their lifecycle, from production through operation to recycling or remanufacturing.
A selection of our activities and guiding principles:
- Internal standards for Design for Environment.
- Several training modules for product development and related functions.
A foundation of lowering the environmental impact
We are working on reducing our upstream emissions, which means our products come with a reduced carbon footprint. Where reasonable, we manufacture and distribute local for local.
A selection of our activities and guiding principles:
- We request our supply base to adhere to the Code of Business Conduct for Business Partners1).
- The Carbon Footprint is a criterion of our sourcing decisions. We drive suppliers to register at CDP2) and SBTi3) and to define CO₂ reduction targets.
1) Based on German supply chain due diligence act
2) Carbon Disclosure Project
3) Science Based Target Initiative
Contributing to reduced upstream emissions
Where reasonable, we manufacture and distribute local for local, which helps reduce your carbon footprint in logistics in most cases.
A selection of our activities and guiding principles:
- Local sourcing, wherever reasonable, reduces transportation across the globe.
- Avoid air freight whenever possible. Unplanned air freight must be reported and approved.
- We use multi-use packaging whenever suitable.
Forward-thinking approaches contributing to a reduced carbon footprint
We continuously improve our production process to increase energy efficiency, increasing our use of renewable energy sources where possible and promoting green electricity. This helps reduce the carbon footprint of our products.
Levers reducing CO₂ in production:
- Energy Efficiency: Boosting energy efficiency at our locations
- Own reneweable energy: Generating power in-house from renewable sources
- Green Electricity: Increasing the proportion of green electricity purchased
- Ban fossil fuels: Replace fossil fuels where reasonably possible
