Driving Sustainability

Sustainable action guides our work—in all DURIT locations worldwide. Its basis is our sustainability strategy that encompasses the entire value added chain. Our approach is not limited to only internal processes and use of resources—we go one step further. In close cooperation with our partners we set benchmarks that take into consideration ecological, social and corporate responsibilities. This is how we shape the future and cement our position as market driver and leader.

GLOBAL STRATEGY


Our clearly defined goal is to achieve climate neutrality as a corporation. The energy supply for our production is achieved in large part by photovoltaic equipment. We rely on environmentally friendly technologies, such as solar and heat pumps to optimize our energy consumption. For years, the DURIT fleet of vehicles has been supplemented with hybrid and electric cars that are charged with our own charging stations on site.
