SUSTAINABILITY
For a secure future.
We are constantly learning how our daily actions can help protect the environment and climate. We are in the midst of change, but there is still a long way to go.
New photovoltaic system
390 KILOWATTS PEAK.
With the help of a 2,000 m² photovoltaic system on the roof of our assembly and punching departments and the construction of a modern combined heat and power plant, we achieve a virtually self-sufficient power supply in summer.
Charging station for electric vehicles
10 charging stations.
Since 2024, 10 charging stations for electric vehicles have been available to all STUV employees and external visitors. By expanding our charging infrastructure, we are sending a clear signal for sustainability and actively supporting the transition to more environmentally friendly mobility. Our charging stations are powered exclusively by electricity from renewable energy sources, enabling us to contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions.
In addition, STUV has made use of an environmentally friendly substrate – instead of asphalt, we use compacted gravel, which allows water to seep away.
Green transport solutions
Sustainable packaging.
To reduce our environmental footprint, STUV is constantly working to use innovative solutions and sustainable materials. That is why we use air cushions made from recycled paper and potato starch to transport our products. This means we are 100% plastic-free. We even reuse the air cushions we receive with incoming goods for shipping our products. Sustainability at its best – a win-win for everyone!
Less CO²
Retrofitting to LED lights.
In line with the motto "Save energy, win the future", Steinbach & Vollmann will significantly reduce its own electricity costs and maintenance expenses by switching from conventional incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes to LED lights in 2022. But even more importantly, LEDs contribute to reducing CO2 emissions, thereby significantly reducing environmental impact. This brings STUV another step closer to environmental standards and certifications.
Current-free connection
PYLOCX® - energy-free lock.
We have been the global market leader for public authorities in critical infrastructure for several years. Now we are launching a new generation of security locks onto the market. Why not save energy here too? The system runs without electricity, is maintenance-free and protected against vandalism.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT PRODUCTION
Switch to new machines.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, STUV is investing more and more in modern, energy-efficient machinery. This not only reduces our carbon footprint, but also improves our production processes. The new machines consume less energy, produce less waste and conserve resources.
