The foundation for our sustainable business practices.
Form the principles of the United Nations Global Compact.

All our sustainability efforts are aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These were defined within the framework of Agenda 2030 to ensure global peace and prosperity for people and our planet. We have examined our impact on the goals and defined how we can improve in line with the objectives. This analysis allowed us to identify key priority goals. Every measure we implement as part of our sustainability strategy has a direct or indirect impact on achieving our priority goals. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are therefore crucial for our strategy and the planning of all our measures in the areas of climate protection, social justice, and governance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is our understanding of sustainability?
Our understanding of sustainability is holistic. We consider ecological, social and economic aspects to promote a sustainable future.
What makes our products ecologically sustainable?
A reduced product carbon footprint through recycled materials, FSC-certified and size-optimized packaging, efficient transport methods, and a manufacturer who recognizes and takes responsibility for their environmental impact.
What drives us?
Intrinsic motivation. Commitment to sustainability and social justice can only be successful if it is properly understood and desired. We have come a long way since the beginning of 2023. Sustainability is now deeply ingrained in our corporate culture.
What reduction target are we pursuing?
We are pursuing the goal of reducing our total CO2e emissions by 70% by 2030 and by 90% by 2045.
Why did we decide against compensation?
We decided against offsetting because we believe that reducing our own emissions is the most effective way to make a sustainable contribution to climate protection. Offsetting external savings against our own emissions is not conducive to achieving long-term reduction targets.
Which experts will help us with this mission?
We have our own in-house CSR manager and work with experts and organizations such as UNGC, SBTi, amfori, FSC, WWF, as well as specialized partners for reporting and decarbonization strategies. Their guidelines are crucial for the direction of our strategy.
Which initiatives are relevant to us?
How do we promote social justice?
All our suppliers are checked using BSCI monitoring and examined for compliance with our social standards. Together with the regional diversu eV in Lüneburg, we host anti-discrimination workshops for our employees. Furthermore, we are signatories of the Charter of Diversity.
