Our performance within the framework of our >>> sustainability strategy has once again been awarded the silver medal by EcoVadis.
In 2024, our company achieved a significant improvement with a rating of 68/100 and the “Silver Top 15%” medal. The top 15% indicates that we are among the top 15% of all companies compared and evaluated by EcoVadis over the last 12 months. This outstanding result demonstrates the success of our efforts to establish sustainability as an integral part of our corporate strategy.
As a medium-sized family business in its sixth generation, we practice sustainability daily. For the past three years, in addition to our own ambitious goals, we have been adhering to the strict criteria of EcoVadis. We continuously work on improving our ecological and social footprint. We integrate the dimensions of sustainability, such as environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement, into all business processes.
As a company processing plastics, we are aware of the challenges posed by our raw material. Our mission is the “appreciation of valuable materials.” Therefore, wherever permitted, we increasingly rely on recycled materials (PCR and PIR), thus actively promoting the circular economy. Our products stand out for their long lifespan and almost 100% recyclability. The appreciation of our materials is part of our daily work within our operational teams. Additionally, we are working on return and reuse concepts for our customers, wherever possible, such as for logistics/transport containers.
We have made significant progress in energy efficiency: Thanks to our long-standing photovoltaic initiative, we are already generating around 1,600 kWp of our own electricity. Through our latest investments in the Rotlay solar power plant, we were able to increase the combined output by 1,500 kWp compared to last year. This makes us energy self-sufficient in sunny weather
The annual certification according to DIN ISO 50001 attests to and verifies our commitment to energy-saving resource management and shows that we meet or even exceed our annual savings targets.
With our Code of Conduct, we have involved our employees and business partners in our essential principles for economic, social, ethical, and sustainable action.
