Our ecosolutions approach

We carefully examine our products and integrate ecological aspects into the entire value chain.

By optimizing our processes, we feel that we can improve sustainability. This applies especially to protection of the environment and climate, from the initial product idea and design to planning, implementation, and spare parts services. This way, we offer our customers ecological solutions and make an important contribution to the sustainable development of the automotive industry.

We pursue two key goals for our products

This also goes for our products: we aim to utilize resources as efficiently as possible and minimize greenhouse gas emissions (CO2-eq). To this end, we are always searching for ways to reduce pollutant emissions and improve energy efficiency. At the same time, we want to reduce the use of materials in product manufacturing, increase product recyclability and dismantlability and maximize the use of reusable materials to minimize our environmental footprint.

By aligning our supply chains sustainably, we want to fulfil economic requirements as well as our environmental and social responsibility—across our entire value chain. As such, we are working on the assumption that our suppliers value sustainability just as highly as we do. Developing more sustainable products also means measuring the components and services we buy against the same standards we set ourselves. As such, one of the core goals of our strategy is to develop sustainability in the supplier network, thereby supporting product sustainability across the board.
