At Hansgrohe, we understand that sustainability is no longer just a wish, but a necessity for us and, above all, for future generations. It is an issue that affects us all and that we at Hansgrohe take very seriously. With our Eco 2030 program, we are not just following the trend, we are actively setting new standards in sustainable product design. We want to show you how responsible action and first-class design not only go together, but enrich each other. Let's discover together how Eco-2030 shapes hansgrohe's philosophy and how we build a bridge between what you already know and value and a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Eco-2030 is our visionary program that defines a clear roadmap for sustainable action and environmentally friendly innovation. Simply said: Eco-2030 is our promise and plan to convert the entire water-using product portfolio of hansgrohe and AXOR to water and energy-saving technologies by 2030.
The program covers various areas,
Eco-2030 is our response to the global challenges of climate change and resource scarcity. We show how we are actively working to make a positive contribution to environmental protection while guaranteeing you high-quality products.
Sustainable product development is not an afterthought for us, but an integral part of our design process. At every step, from material selection to production technology, we examine how the environmental impact can be minimized;
This includes the use of materials that are not only durable but also recyclable, as well as technologies that reduce water and energy consumption.
One example of this is our 2023 German Federal Ecodesign Award, which will be presented in 2023 Planet Edition.This shower kit, made from recycled materials, combines stylish shower design with efficiency.
We are demonstrating that sustainability and outstanding design go hand in hand.
Our awareness of resource conservation is deeply rooted in our company. Through innovative solutions such as the EcoSmart technology we significantly reduce water and energy consumption without compromising the user experience.
This approach proves that environmental protection and comfort are not mutually exclusive. We show that a conscious use of resources can be both ecologically and economically beneficial.
When it comes to the environment, we take our responsibilities very seriously and value transparency in all areas of our business. By regularly reporting on our environmental impact and following strong environmental standards, we are able to demonstrate that we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint. This transparency underlines our commitment to a sustainable future and strengthens consumer confidence in our brand.
As part of our commitment to transparency and reducing our environmental impact, we have our environmental product declarations confirmed by independent institutions and take part in company ratings. One example of this is our B rating with CDP Climate Change in 2022. The CDP is considered the gold standard in environmental reporting and provides the most comprehensive set of data on corporate and city action on climate change. We also received the silver medal from EcoVadis in 2022 a leading provider of sustainability ratings.
These awards demonstrate our commitment and ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental footprint and our belief that transparency is key to a sustainable future.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected not only in our products, but also in our Corporate values and initiatives.
The goal of climate neutrality at all locations and the reduction of plastic in packaging are examples of our comprehensive efforts to act in an environmentally conscious manner. These initiatives make it clear that we see sustainability as a holistic approach that goes far beyond product development.
The circular economy is a key aspect of our sustainability strategy. We put the principle of the circular economy into practice by developing products that are durable, repairable and fully recyclable at the end of their life cycle.
Through this approach, we strive to create a closed loop in which resources are used efficiently and waste is minimized. The circular economy, often referred to as "Closed-Loop" or "Circular Economy" is an economic model that aims to maximize the use of resources and minimize waste.
In contrast to the traditional "take-make-dispose"economy, where products are manufactured, used and then disposed of, the circular economy promotes a system in which products and materials are reused, repaired and recycled. Through this strategy, we strive to create a closed cycle in which resources are used efficiently and waste is minimized.
In addition to our environmental responsibility, we also take our social responsibility seriously. We are involved in local and global sustainability projects and thus make a contribution to a better and fairer world.
Another concrete example of our commitment is the establishment of the „Green Company“ division in 2020 at Hansgrohe. This task force is driving forward the major transformation at hansgrohe on a daily basis with strategies, innovative projects and practical recommendations.
Our „Green Company“initiatives cover various fields of action, such as the development of green products, the introduction of green packaging, the use of green energy, the optimization of green production processes and the design of a green supply chain. Our commitment to the community underlines that we take our role as a global player seriously and are actively working to make a positive impact.
Discover how we can make a difference together. Every step we take towards sustainability is a step towards a better future for us all. Your interest and commitment are a valuable support for us on this journey. We look forward to embarking on this journey together with you.
