Sustainability
The concept of sustainability is firmly rooted in the SPIR STAR® family business. Accordingly, we have developed a mission statement, which guides us in taking responsibility for the future – now.
After establishing our internal sustainability team, in recent years our company has already implemented a large number of measures in the ecological and social domains.
We are also planning to implement more sustainability projects in the future, because every step contributes to our treating the environment and resources in a more responsible and careful manner.
Examples of ways in which we incorporate our environmental commitment into our ongoing work process include:
- Photovoltaic systems on all company roofs
- E-charging stations for employees and visitors
- Purchase of 100% green electricity
- Water treatment plant and cisterns
- No PVC adhesive tape, but rather wet adhesive tape
- Exclusive use of recycled paper
- Waste separation according to the Gewerbeabfallverordnung [Commercial Waste Ordinance]
- Use of energy-saving illuminants
- Paper crumpling machine instead of plastic filler
Promotion of biodiversity
We have been committed to preserving biodiversity since 2019 and were therefore the first company in Germany to be recognized for a company site close to nature in the “Thousand Gardens – Thousands of Species” project.. For example, feeding areas and habitats for various animal and plant species have been created on the company premises. We have also implemented a number of biodiversity measures. These include, for example, structural diversity in the form of deadwood, open ground and rock piles, whereby we take great care to use only native wild perennials, woody plants and certified regional seeds. In order to continue to make our contribution to sustainability in the future, we work very closely with recognized environmental experts who support us in the implementation.
