Act sustainably

PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

We have anchored environmental protection in our company objectives. We implement this commitment in our own production processes through the careful use of raw material and energy, and, of course, through compliance with the valid environmental regulations. This commitment reflects in particular out target to develop products with our customers, which will lead to continuous savings through their use, e.g. through durability and engine efficiency. Progress based on tradition should also be an open path for our children.

Climate Strategy 

We will save up to 40% of our emissions by 2030.

„We have the responsibility to guarantee the employees secure jobs. For the SCHERDELGroup growth and secure jobs are major keys of success. Therefore, our entrepreneurial action is subject to the principles of sustainability. However sustainable development may be achieved only if the corresponding environmental, economic and social aspects are implemented at the same time. This makes it possible to ensure and improve the ecological, economic and social performances of our society.“
(SCHERDEL Sustainability directive)

The goal of the climate strategy is to reduce 40% of CO2(e) emissions by 2030 (base year 2019).

In order to achieve this goal, 4 approaches are pursued:

Resources

We use our resources carefully and implement energy saving rules. The rules are continually being expanded and followed.

Own production

We are planning further use and expansion of our own generation in the form of PV systems on SCHERDEL ground.
The planned PV systems are being pushed forward as part of the planned investments and potential analysis.

Green Energy

We will use green electricity at least at all German locations from 2030.

Circular economy

Circular economy

We want to make a significant contribution to the ecological and sustainable development of our company by working together with our partners on the careful use of resources and strengthening the circular economy.

In the first step, we want to achieve transparency from our suppliers for the top purchased products with regard to Scope 3 emissions. This will be incorporated into our supplier evaluation.

We are specifically looking for Scope 3 lighthouse projects that make an active contribution to reducing emissions across the entire supply chain.

Whistleblower system

PART OF OUR CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

A Compliance Communication System is used by our company to uncover attempted and completed violations of internal policies and laws at an early stage. Valuable information can be provided not only by employees, but also by business partners and third parties. With this in mind, we would be grateful if you would report any irregularities or infringements of the law to us. The tips received via the system go directly to our ombudsman, who treats them in strict confidence and in particular does not disclose the identity of the whistleblower without his or her express consent. Of course, the whistleblower system is anonymous, and providing your name is voluntary. Please only provide an e‑mail address if you wish to be informed of any action taken.
