Sustainability
Responsible corporate action forms the basis for our sustainable economic success and secures our future. As market leader in sailcloth and innovator in the field of technical fabrics, we are aware of our social responsibility and have set ourselves the goal to have as little negative impact as possible on the environment and the climate. Our work is characterised by respect for our environment as the following concrete measures show:
We offer maximum transparency
The cleenTEC® seal serves as an orientation aid. It identifies products with which customers can opt for our high quality, but also for greater environmental protection. The term “cleen” is made up of the words clean and green and is thus intended to encompass all aspects of sustainability. All products with this seal have been manufactured in climate-neutral production facilities and also contain other environmentally friendly innovations. For example, they contain recycled materials, are particularly easy to recycle, are produced with fossil-free raw materials or are themselves completely climate-neutral.
We produce climate-neutrally
Since the beginning of 2021, our two production sites in Kempen (DE) and Putnam (USA) have been climate-neutral. All emissions were systematically recorded within the framework of the DIN ISO 50001 and have been significantly reduced through the use of green electricity, green gas and other measures. All remaining emissions are being reduced in cooperation with Climate Partner and through certified climate protection projects. You can find more information here.
We think ecologically
In addition to climate-neutral production, our priorities are sustainably sourced raw materials and recycled materials, environmentally friendly transport routes and climate-conscious processing. We are working hard with competent partners to find solutions in these areas. Together with the Saxon Textile Research Institute (STFI), we are also researching recycling processes for raw materials from used cloth (recycling).
