Environment

Respecting and caring for the environment

Our ongoing commitment is essential to optimising the use of finite resources. Even better, we prioritise recyclable materials that can be reused again and again. That’s why we handle the raw materials we use with care and focus on conserving resources – including the use of secondary raw materials (recycled content). 

We also hold ourselves to high standards – striving to improve every day. That’s why we are committed to legal compliance and the ongoing development of our environmental policy.

Decarbonisation

Every action has an impact – ecologically, this is most clearly measured by the carbon footprint. That's exactly what we've set out to do: measure the carbon footprint of umdasch's four production sites. 

Our initial focus is on direct emissions, such as the fuel consumption of our company vehicles (scope 1), and indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heating or cooling (scope 2). We also take selected aspects of indirect emissions within the value chain into account (Scope 3).


However, this is only the first step! We will then focus on making those areas with the greatest potential for improvement more environmentally friendly.

Efficient production

Designing production processes and machinery efficiently not only makes economic sense – it also conserves valuable resources. In recent years, for example, we have invested significantly in modernising and expanding our largest production site in Leibnitz, Austria: a bio-thermal power plant now replaces a large share of fossil fuel use, and new machinery reduces both energy consumption and waste. 

At the linked logistics centre in Hasendorf, which opened in 2018, Industry 4.0 is becoming a reality: electric forklifts and automated delivery vehicles ensure smooth and safe operations – for both our employees and our customers.

Environmentally efficient investments

Careful and thoughtful financial management ensures the company's success – it drives innovation and supports sustainable development. At umdasch, we define sustainable investments as those that deliver positive short- and long-term impacts: on employee protection and health, on our carbon footprint, and on the long-term resilience of our business. Since early 2022, all relevant investments have been assessed in advance for their ecological efficiency. This approach strengthens awareness of responsible decision-making and lays the foundation for an economic mindset that embraces long-term thinking alongside environmental and social responsibility.

 
Investments in new production facilities and machinery that meet the latest standards, in renewable energy sources and in the extension or renovation of existing buildings make us bigger, more competitive, more modern and more environmentally friendly!
