National Earth Day is dedicated to raising awareness of the need to protect the earth.

National Earth Day is dedicated to raising awareness of the need to protect the earth and make significant efforts to protect the environment, reduce our impact and strive for more sustainable development.

While we know that we’re not flawless, we’re committed to finding more sustainable solutions to develop our products in a way that reduces our impact on natural resources

Moreover, every project, development, action or idea is shaped and conceived with consideration, understanding and respect for the environment.

Building-related actions

• Heating systems based on 100% CO2 neutral wood pellets, geothermal and photothermal installations.
• Closed head/cold circuit generation in our products plant.
• Certified “Minergie Label” (Swiss quality label for new and renovated buildings with low energy consumption)

Operations-related actions

• Closed-circuit cooperation with raw material suppliers for recycling metal chips, lubricants and cutting oils.
• Plastic-free (to the extent possible) and exclusive use of recyclable cardboard boxes for our packaging.
• Systematic recycling of paper, cardboard, metal, glass, batteries, and plastic bottles.

Products-related actions

• Development of products that can be repaired several times during their life cycle (increasing their lifetime up to 10 years).
• Selection, training and monitoring of official repair centres worldwide contribute to a more sustainable activity.
• Bisphenol and phthalate free.

This is far from enough, but we continuously strive to develop a more sustainable approach!
