Environmental responsibility & management
We are constantly working to make our processes more environmentally friendly and are committed to using natural resources responsibly. We aim to positively impact environmental protection through practical actions and sustainable solutions.
✔️ Environmental management system according to DIN EN ISO 14001
Implementing a certified environmental management system based on DIN EN ISO 14001 is a crucial step in our dedication to sustainable development. This system ensures that we systematically monitor, assess and continuously reduce our environmental impact. We aim to not only reduce our ecological footprint but also actively contribute to global environmental conservation. By continually refining our processes and adopting sustainable practices, we aim to make our company more environmentally responsible and fit for the future.
✔️ 100% green energy
Maschinenbau Kitz GmbH sources 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources. This decision reflects our strong dedication to cutting carbon emissions and relying on sustainable energy sources.
✔️ Photovoltaics
Our photovoltaic system allows us to cover up to 30% of our total electricity consumption. This actively supports the energy transition while simultaneously lowering our operating expenses.
✔️ Environmental objectives and continuous improvement
Our environmental objectives are clearly defined, and we have established specific strategies to achieve them. A crucial aspect of our commitment involves conducting regular energy audits in accordance with the DIN EN 16247-1 standard, which allows us to precisely analyse our energy usage and devise specific strategies to lower consumption. Our achievements so far in the realm of environmental objectives:
- Use of hazardous substances reduced by 10% through the use of substitute materials
- Paper consumption reduced by an average of 36% by implementing digital processes
- Compressed air systems optimised by sealing leaks and upgrading compressors
- Waste minimised by recycling everything that is recyclable and prioritising reuse whenever feasible
- All employees receive regular information, training and encouragement to actively apply the established environmental protection measures and adhere to legal requirements
✔️ E-bike leasing for employees
We provide our employees with e-bike leasing options to further decrease carbon emissions and promote sustainable transport.
These initiatives demonstrate our dedication to environmental protection and sustainable corporate management. We believe that environmental responsibility and economic growth go hand in hand. Together with our partners and customers, we aim to positively shape the future by advancing sustainability and conserving resources.
