SUSTAINABILITY IN ALL AREAS

We are well aware of our responsibility to the environment and support sustainability at all levels – and that’s true in every action we take, whether big or small.

Cradle to cradle We have developed a new concept for exhibiting at trade fairs that eliminates packaging, minimises transport and uses recyclable, non-toxic materials. Most of the components we use for our trade fair stand are reused multiple times. Where possible, we make use of cradle-to-cradle-certified components.

Training programmes Eco-friendly innovations are the driving force behind our success. We know that these types of innovations are only possible with motivated employees, and we commit to support their ambitions with initiatives such as our Glas Trösch Academy and our training programmes.

Float Honey At our Saxony-Anhalt site, we have launched a project to counter the loss of bee populations in the region: some 15 bee colonies have been established on the company premises in Osterweddingen . A beekeeper cares for the hives on-site, then collects and prepares the honey they produce – which can reach 350 kilos per year.
