Promotion of Biodiversity
Since 2019, SPIR STAR® has been actively committed to preserving biodiversity. As the first company in Germany, we were awarded by the project “Thousands of Gardens – Thousands of Species” for our nature-friendly company grounds. We have specifically created food sources and habitats for numerous animal and plant species to make a positive contribution to biodiversity.
The measures implemented include promoting structural diversity through deadwood, open soil, and stone piles, as well as the exclusive use of native wild perennials, shrubs, and certified regional seeds. With these approaches, we support biological diversity and design our company grounds based on environmentally friendly principles.
To continue fulfilling our responsibility, we work closely with recognized environmental experts. This ensures that our initiatives are effective and contribute to the long-term promotion of the environment and biodiversity.

Enviromental targets
As a manufacturer of thermoplastic ultra-high pressure hoses, SPIR STAR® AG needs electrical energy for its production and due to the company’s in-house manufacturing depth. For this reason, SPIR STAR® AG has already taken a number of measures to increase energy efficiency and the company’s own generation of electrical energy.
As a result, it is SPIR STAR AG’s target to extend the use of renewable energies for energy production to be able to completely cover the electrical energy the company needs by the production of its own electrical power by 2028.
