A focus on the environment and resources

One of our more recent milestones was our decision to power the administration department at our Oberkotzau headquarters – as well as our Tanna plant in Thuringia – using entirely renewable energy. GEALAN now covers its entire electricity needs at both sites with energy that comes 100 per cent from wind, sun, water, biomass or geothermal energy. This latest conversion to green electricity is a logical next step among a number of initiatives and part of a corporate philosophy we’ve been practising for decades.

We’re all well aware of the environmental challenges and necessities of this time. Using existing resources sensibly and thus protecting the environment has been one of the most urgent tasks for a long time now. The GEALAN Group is also committed to this goal for society as a whole.

Saving on raw materials and energy is also achievable nowadays because people work much more efficiently. This is where new technical innovations can help us just as much as organisational improvements or sophisticated processes.

Our employees play an important role in terms of GEALAN’s sustainability. They carry out their tasks independently, in a quality-conscious, environmentally aware and resource-conserving manner, and with an awareness that their performance has a direct impact on our corporate success.

At GEALAN, we already pay attention to the energy efficiency of products and their potential impact on people and the environment when we procure them. We want to be a strong, reliable partner for our customers, suppliers, authorities, the public and our employees. It’s thus a matter of course for us to comply with legal and other requirements, as well as to communicate openly and transparently with various stakeholders.

One of our most important principles is: social, societal and environmental aspects must be taken into account in every economic decision we make. Making that happen isn’t a matter of course. It is though for us at GEALAN. We take responsibility and see environmental protection and resource efficiency as a prerequisite for sustainable corporate success.
