Sustainability at VIEROL

Sustainability at VIEROL

As an internationally active family-run business, we operate in a responsible and forward-looking manner. Sustainability is firmly embedded in our corporate values and shapes our day-to-day operations in environmental, social and economic terms.

In doing so, we are guided by international standards such as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are constantly working to make our processes and products even more environmentally friendly.

Our aim is to combine long-term success with a conscientious approach to resources, people and the environment. We view responsibility as an ongoing process that requires continuous development and improvement.

Environment, Products & Innovation

Sustainable practices are an integral part of our day-to-day operations. We consistently align our business activities with the aim of promoting a healthy balance between environmental, social and economic responsibility. Climate protection is a key priority in this regard: we are reducing our consumption of resources, prioritising renewable energy and investing in measures to improve energy efficiency.

A prime example is the energy strategy for our logistics centre. It is based entirely on renewable energy and is supported by photovoltaic systems, a combined heat and power plant, smart heat recovery and LED lighting.

Our products also contribute to the conservation of resources. We develop durable spare parts to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards and encourage the targeted replacement of individual parts rather than entire assemblies, in order to save materials and energy. In addition, we rely on sustainable packaging solutions and recycled containers, which significantly reduce the use of virgin materials and thus strengthen the circular economy.

Our sustainability strategy is aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides the framework for our responsible actions throughout the entire value chain.

People & Society

For us, acting responsibly also means taking on social responsibility and putting people first. We are actively involved in social projects and support local clubs and fundraising campaigns. We place particular emphasis on youth, education and sport, with the aim of nurturing the next generation and strengthening our region.

Furthermore, we are committed to diversity and equal opportunities: we have been a signatory to the Diversity Charter since 2016 and promote an inclusive working environment in which diverse talents are valued and nurtured.

Our Code of Conduct forms the basis for responsible behaviour throughout the company. It defines the values and principles that are of central importance to VIEROL AG: ambition and achievement, community, tradition, diversity and openness, flexibility and foresight. Our social commitment is an integral part of our corporate strategy and complements our environmental and economic measures to form a holistic approach to responsibility.
