SUSTAINABILITY – CLIMATE-FRIENDLY INSTEAD OF CLIMATE-NEUTRAL

We invest in real measures instead of certificates — in our products, our building, and our vehicle fleet. No claim to perfection, but to continuous improvement.

Reference year 2019, reduced since then

In 2021, we switched to green electricity, completely converted our 9,000 m² building to LED lighting, and are gradually transitioning our vehicle fleet to electric mobility. For business and commuting, we promote rail and public transport.

Climate protection is a living practice for us. Between our reference year 2019 and 2025, we reduced our CO₂ emissions from 455.9 to 247.12 tCO₂e – a decrease of around 45.8%. Interim increases, for example due to (renovation measures in 2023), were temporary exceptions. The clear trend of the last two years shows: Our measures are working, and we are consistently moving forward.

Supply Chains

Close partnerships instead of mere suppliers, own employees in Hong Kong, air freight avoided where possible.
