Sustainable Production
We are committed to not only observing but exceeding environmental standards. Wherever possible, we do more than is required by legislation and this particularly applies to our plants, processes and sites.
- The production sites in Austria are fully decarbonized, which means we use zero fossil fuels.
- Eighty-eight percent of the total energy required at all our production and sales locations in Austria comes from renewable energy sources (photovoltaics, biomass, geothermal energy, and purchased green electricity).
- We source around 3,500 MWh* of energy from our own PV systems throughout the Group. (* As at 12/31/2022; our PV systems are constantly being expanded)
- All production and sales sites in Austria have an environmental management system that is certified according to ISO 14001.
- We place great emphasis on sustainable site development and increasing the energy efficiency of our buildings and processes.
- New and existing suppliers are audited against a set of environmental and social criteria as part of our supplier management system.
