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 and resource consumption throughout their lifecycle, from production through operation to recycling or remanufacturing.

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.

Contributing to reduced upstream emissions

Where reasonable, we manufacture for local, which helps reduce your carbon footprint in logistics in most cases.

Forward-thinking approaches contributing to a reduced carbon footprint

We continuously improve our production processes to increase energy efficiency, utilizing renewable energy sources 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

Four focus areas to help drive sustainability forward

Translating this lifecycle approach into industrial practice requires concrete, fact-based engineering. To support more resource-efficient operations, lower emissions, and improved circularity, we focus on four focus areas:

Efficient use of materials and resources:
Reducing energy consumption:
Extending lifetime & closing the material loop:
Innovating for a smaller footprint:

Efficient use of materials and resources:

Decreasing material usage, primarily determined during the design phase.

Reducing energy consumption:

Reducing energy consumption during the product's use phase.

Extending lifetime & closing the material loop:

Contributing to a circular economy through responsible material selection and a focus on reparability, recyclability, and end-of-life value.

Innovating for a smaller footprint:

Aiming for a lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) than the previous generation.
