ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Certified energy and environmental management.

EFFICIENCY MEANS USING ENERGY SPARINGLY.

Sustainable production begins long before we turn raw materials into our products: the equipment at our locations also plays a major role when it comes to protecting resources. We are therefore committed to efficient energy management and continuously optimize the energy footprint of our locations.

We have already achieved considerable reductions in our CO2 emissions and energy consumption thanks to a variety of modernization measures. But we’re not done yet: in regular audits, we analyze how we can improve even further.
