Sustainability means protecting people and the environment through everything we do

At Scheuch, we see sustainability as a core corporate value. Every day, the Scheuch Group contributes to climate protection with its plants. Scheuch helps industry produce more cleanly, with lower energy consumption and less impact on the environment, and to do more than simply meet ever stricter environmental legislation. Sustainability is also firmly anchored in our corporate vision: “Our sustainable technologies ensure a clean planet for generations to come.”

“Limit values and the reduction of emissions have occupied us for decades. It is the very core of our products. So we have of course long had a heightened awareness of topics such as sustainability. Sustainability currently concerns us on several levels.” Philipp Schopp
Team Leader Group HSEQ &

How sustainability is anchored at Scheuch

Sustainability is a fundamental part of how we act and of our company. Social, ecological and economic aspects are taken into account in every decision we make.

By developing and producing plants, devices and components with low consumption and low emissions, we contribute every day to protecting people and preserving an environment worth living in. To secure the future of coming generations, we work to reduce all burdens on employees, customers and the environment.

We take responsibility for continuously reducing our own ecological footprint — not only through our products and solutions, but also by acting prudently within our own value chain. This understanding is anchored throughout the entire group.

The principle of sustainability is an essential part of our corporate strategy and our corporate culture. To make sure our measures and our actions are effective, we actively set ourselves targets and measure our success. Only in this way can we address this task authentically as a company.

We set our targets in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDGs), and we work particularly actively on several of them: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure / Responsible Consumption & Production / Climate Action.
