Sustainability at Fietz

 

As a medium-sized and family-run company, sustainability is the basis for the continued existence. It is important to the Fietz Group to live up to its social, ecological and economic responsibilities so that future generations can live at least as well as we do today.

For this reason, the Fietz Group has invested in some forward-looking projects:

Installation of a photovoltaic system

on the production and storage roofs as well as the administration buildings in Burscheid and Radevormwald. The energy demand is covered up to half during a sunny summer day. In the last half year 170 tons of CO₂ were saved

---

New heating system with heat recovery

This is supported by new, efficient air compressors with heat recovery and contribute to a saving in gas consumption of around 60%

---

Rainwater utilization

Rainwater is collected and used for production processes instead of fresh water

---

Electromobility

Every new company vehicle is a hybrid or electric vehicle

---

Recycling

18% of our PTFE material consists of regenerated material, 19% of the PTFE scrap are collected are returned for recycling

---

Tree planting campaign

Planting of 12 silver lime trees

---

Wild herb meadow and bees

Creation of a wildflower and wild herb meadow and establishment of a bee colony on the company premises

---

These are all fantastic projects that will make a big difference, but we as the Fietz Group want to do even more and push the issue of sustainability further.
