Our state-of-the-art production sites around the world are continuously working to uphold and improve our high standards of quality, sustainability, and innovation. Our facilities, located in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Malaysia, and India each play a crucial role in delivering high-quality refrigeration and freezing solutions. Each facility optimises energy efficiency and reduces emissions, contributing to sustainable growth while supporting local communities. Our decentralised structure ensures flexibility for local markets while maintaining a unified commitment to sustainability.

Our commitment to responsible business, environmental stewardship, and employee well-being drives continuous improvement. While challenges remain, we are making meaningful progress toward a more sustainable future. We focus on environmentally conscious production by reducing energy demand, increasing renewable energy use, minimising waste, managing water responsibly, and preventing contamination — ensuring a lower environmental impact across all operations.

We have reduced overall energy consumption by 9 % since 2022. To reduce energy consumption, ISO 50001-certified management systems track and optimise usage across our European sites. Further efficiency measures include building renovations, intelligent LED lighting, process optimisations, and a cross-site monitoring system to ensure energy management continuous improvement.

We are expanding renewable energy across our production sites. Photovoltaic systems in the factories Ochsenhausen and Ch. Sambhaji Nagar (3MW total) support clean energy, while the sites Lienz and Ochsenhausen have run on 100 % green electricity since 2014 and 2018. Factory Marica uses solar water heating, and the production site Lienz recovers heat from compressed air and deep well water. By continuously investing in renewable energy, we are taking long-term steps to reduce our carbon footprint.

We are committed to reducing CO₂ emissions through efficiency, renewable energy, and process optimisation. In 2024, total CO₂ emissions reached 30,576 tonnes — 8,554 tonnes from Scope 1 (direct emissions from gas and fuel) and 22,022 tonnes from Scope 2 (indirect emissions from electricity and heating). Compared to 2022, emissions in Scope 1 and 2 were reduced by approximately 15 %.

We are committed to circularity — reducing waste, optimising disposal, and increasing recycling rates. Process improvements and production adjustments helped cut total waste. Accurate monitoring helps identify optimisation potential and improve resource management. In 2024, the Marica plant recorded 65.29 kg of waste per ton of production and 4.07 kg per appliance. Collaboration with recyclers enhances material recovery. The Ochsenhausen production site has achieved a 95 % recycling rate, the factory in Lienz has reduced powder coating waste, and the Marica site recycles 91 % of its waste with minimal landfill use.
