Sustainable Business Practices at Teufelberger

We are aware of both the impacts of climate change on our business and our responsibility in addressing them. That’s why we are actively committed to reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to global climate goals.

Our focus areas include:

• Measuring our carbon footprint

• Identifying climate-related risks and opportunities

• Integrating climate action into our strategy and investment planning

• Implementing energy efficiency measures and generating renewable energy
  

• Increasing material efficiency and reducing waste

• Using materials and technologies that enable CO₂ reduction

The responsible use of (natural) resources is a core element of our sustainability strategy.
We focus on durable products, efficient production processes, the use of recycled materials and solutions for end-of-life.

Our goal is to avoid waste, close material loops, and increase resource efficiency across all areas of the company.In doing so, we actively contribute to the circular economy – along our entire value chain.

Design for recycling

• Take-back and recycling of used products

• Utilisation of residual materials (“second life”)

• Repair services

• Reduction and optimisation of packaging

Our employees are the foundation of our success – today and in the future.
A working environment based on trust, team spirit, and a sense of responsibility strengthens our corporate culture in the long term.

Responsibility is a core principle for us – it is part of our identity as a family-owned company.

Good corporate governance means leading with clarity, acting transparently, and actively managing risks – at all levels.

Our leadership principles are guided by ethical values, legal requirements, and international standards. These include ISO certifications, structured risk assessments, IT security measures, and stakeholder engagement through surveys and dialogue formats. Together with employees, the works council, and management, we build trust and create a strong foundation for sustainable action.

Our focus areas include:

• Values-based conduct, transparency, and reliability

• Clear leadership principles and defined responsibilities

• Audited and documented processes

• Ethics and IT security training

Sustainability at Teufelberger is clearly structured and embedded at all levels of the organisation. A central coordination team works closely with experts in each division to ensure strategic guidance and operational implementation.

We rely on clearly defined responsibilities and close collaboration across all departments.
This way, sustainability is not just considered – it is lived.
