We open doors to a sustainable future!

Our sustainability strategy aims to integrate environmental, social and economic responsibility into all aspects of corporate management. This strategy is designed not only to protect the environment, but also to improve the quality of life of our employees and the communities in which we operate.

Our goal

Think about tomorrow
today!

SIMONSWERK is committed to fulfilling today's needs without compromising future generations. Through sustainable practices, we minimise environmental impact and assume social responsibility without neglecting economic aspects.

 

Our goal is long-term success and competitiveness through innovation, planning and decisive action by a dedicated sustainability team. By joining the „Klimainitiative der IHKs und der Wirtschaft in Ostwestfalen- Lippe“, we are committed to being climate-neutral by 2030. To achieve this, we rely on internal and external cooperation and partnerships.

For us, sustainability means taking responsibility - for the environment, society and the future of coming generations. With clear goals, innovative solutions and strong partnerships, we are actively committed to a climate-neutral future.

Activities and successes

Support for the
supply chain

In order to fulfil various requirements, including legal requirements, SIMONSWERK has started a collaboration with the service provider Integrity Next. Topics such as REACH, the Supply Chain Duty of Care Act, Conflict Minerals and the carbon footprint are recorded using questionnaires. A subsequent risk analysis assesses the sustainability of the supply chain.
