Our focus: sustainability
Our focus: sustainability
The electrical power engineering industry worldwide is facing the greatest challenge of all time: the consistent transformation toward sustainable power supply systems - overcoming the contradiction between security of supply, ecology and economy. We are applying our entire expertise to the success of an integrated energy transition. In addition to developing future-proof technologies, this includes reconciling decarbonization and profitability. This is the only way to create sustainable momentum for a secure, economical and ecological power supply.
This is made possible by the appropriate integration of the Social Development Goals into our corporate strategy and the consistent alignment of our portfolio. As a company with global operations, we are adapting to the various regulations of national and international legislators and the correspondingly wide range of political initiatives. Our customers are also concerned with the development and operation of a sustainable energy infrastructure and have therefore already committed themselves in many cases to ambitious "net zero" targets. In addition, information is obtained on our sustainability and compliance organization as well as on our dealings with suppliers and supply risks.
As an intergenerationally oriented, family-run company, we are committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). We can make a particularly significant contribution to goals 7, 8, 9 and 12; in addition, we also contribute to the achievement of SDG goals 3, 4, 5 and 13. Consistently, we have anchored these eight goals in our corporate strategy. To underpin our commitment to sustainability, we joined the United Nations Global Compact (UN GC) in April 2023.

Environmental
The sustainable protection of our environment is a binding company goal that we measure ourselves, our employees and our business partners against. We adhere to the legal requirements, of course, and go beyond them whenever possible. We apply measures for preventative environmental protection across the entire value chain – from planning and acquisition to production, supply, services and customer service.
Social
Occupational safety
We take responsibility not only for our employees, but for all people with whom we work. Comprehensive measures for occupational safety are an integral part of our corporate policy and systematically reduce accident and health risks. Based on the latest findings in occupational safety research, we continuously optimize these measures along the entire value creation chain and seek to implement solutions that set an example in the industry.
Social commitment
Intensive collaboration with research institutes, universities and schools underscores our demand for excellence.
Work-life balance is very important to us. To this end, we offer our employees a diverse range of above-average benefits.
Governance
We maintain an integrated management system in accordance with the following international standards, among others:
- DIN EN ISO 9001
- DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025 for the calibration laboratory
An important aspect that differentiates us from the competition is the consistently superior quality of our products, solutions and services.
We achieve this through the following means, among others:
- Consistent orientation to the needs of our customers, whose enthusiasm is our strongest drive.
- The exclusion of malfunctions to avoid interruptions in processes and products of our customers.
- The aspiration of continuous improvement to simplify products and processes.
