HÅLLBARHET - VÅR ESG STRATEGI
För oss på Waldmann ligger fokus framför allt på människor och deras behov – det gäller våra belysningslösningar, våra medarbetare, men också med hänsyn till socialt och ekologiskt ansvar. Som ett familjeägt företag i sin fjärde generation är det viktigt för oss att agera i framtida generationers intresse. Vi vill ta ansvar gentemot samhället och våra medarbetare och på ett hållbart sätt bidra till att bevara en intakt miljö. Waldmann armaturer är tillverkade i Tyskland - utformade och tillverkade i Tyskland. Vi producerar hållbara, energieffektiva belysningslösningar i Villingen-Schwenningen. Detta är vårt tydliga engagemang för Tyskland som plats och för Schwarzwald. Vi stöttar våra anställda och är engagerade i vår region.
What does sustainability mean to us?
We understand it as a responsible approach to people and nature, which is reflected in our ESG strategy: our social responsibility (Social), our corporate responsibility (Governance) and our responsibility towards nature and the environment (Environmental).
"Sustainability is not a boring topic, but a task for all of us! That's where we as a family business can get things moving."
Christoph Waldmann
An eternal cycle of product and materials: a utopia that we are happy to make a reality. We started with LAVIGO, the first office luminaire (light) to be awarded the Cradle to Cradle® certificate. All the products we have come up with since then have been developed according to these Cradle to Cradle® criteria.
But that's not all. In order to continuously optimise our sustainable actions, we have, for example, been certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001 since 2012 and regularly have ourselves assessed by EcoVadis. But this is not the time to rest. By 2028, we will be a climate-neutral company.
In order to transparently present our activities in the area of sustainability and continuously uncover potential for improvement, we work together with the provider EcoVadis.
EcoVadis is an independent rating agency that provides sustainability rankings for companies in the areas of environmental, social and governance (ESG).
The rating and scorecard issued by EcoVadis provides detailed insights into a company's sustainability performance. EcoVadis has already put round 100,000 companies from 175 countries and 200 industries under the magnifier.
In 2022, EcoVadis again assessed our sustainability activities and awarded us the silver EcoVadis medal. Compared to the previous year, we were able to improve our overall rating by seven points and thus belong to the top 25 percent of the companies evaluated by EcoVadis.
