LIVING SUSTAINABLY

A culture of sustainability in practice at Wildeboer

Trust you can build in.

THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY

Responsibility throughout the entire value chain

For Wildeboer, sustainability is not a stand-alone project, but an integral part of our corporate development. As a manufacturer of components and systems for building services engineering, we bear responsibility for the environment, people and responsible corporate governance. This is underpinned by our dual materiality analysis, which has identified the most important sustainability issues for our company.

Environment

Materials are important. We select them carefully, source them responsibly and reduce our use wherever possible.

Climate change

Taking an active role in climate protection

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We systematically track the greenhouse gas emissions from our business activities and are gradually developing our company towards climate-friendly value creation. In doing so, we take into account our site as well as upstream and downstream processes along the value chain.

ESRS reference: ESRS E1-1, E1-2, E1-6, E1-8

We are pursuing a long-term climate transition plan and are guided by the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Our focus is on reducing emissions, decarbonising our processes and collaborating with suppliers and partners.

Using energy efficiently

Energy efficiency has been an integral part of our corporate strategy for many years. Using our ISO 50001-compliant energy management system, we continuously analyse and optimise energy consumption in production, buildings and our vehicle fleet.

ESRS reference: ESRS E1-4, E1-5, E1-7

By expanding our photovoltaic capacity, electrifying applications and optimising technical processes, we are gradually reducing our use of fossil fuels and increasing the proportion of renewable energy.

ESRS reference: ESRS E1-5, E1-7

Efficient use of materials

Keeping resources in the cycle

Raw materials form the basis of our products. We therefore focus on using materials as efficiently as possible, ensuring a long product lifespan and the gradual development of recyclable solutions. For us, resource efficiency begins right from the development, procurement and production stages.

ESRS reference: ESRS E5-1, E5-4, E5-5

We continually incorporate recycling concepts, reusable systems and further optimisation of our manufacturing processes into our thinking. In this way, we consistently reduce waste and strive to achieve closed-loop material cycles.

Working together for a better tomorrow

People make the difference

Our staff are the foundation of our success. That is why safe working conditions, health, skills development and personal development are at the heart of everything we do.

ESRS reference: ESRS S1-1, S1-3, S1-12, S1-13

We foster a corporate culture characterised by trust, appreciation, involvement and continuous development. Regular staff surveys, training programmes, active health management and regular staff events support this commitment.

Sourcing from Europe

Taking responsibility together

Sustainability does not end at the factory gates. Together with our suppliers, we are working to continuously improve environmental and social standards throughout the value chain.

ESRS reference: ESRS S2-1, S2-2, S2-3, G1-2

Our Supplier Code of Conduct, risk-based assessments and a structured dialogue support respect for human rights, fair working conditions and responsible business practices.

Making sustainability visible in buildings

Our products contribute to fire safety, air quality, comfort and energy efficiency. They help designers, operators and building owners to make buildings safer and more sustainable.

ESRS reference: ESRS S4-1, S4-2, S4-4

Through environmental product declarations, transparent product information and continuous innovation, we lay the foundations for responsible decisions regarding environmental impacts and the entire building life cycle.

Acting transparently and responsibly

Good corporate governance builds trust. Sustainability is therefore firmly embedded in our management systems, decision-making processes and areas of responsibility. We continuously document our sustainability performance and voluntarily disclose it in the ‘Our Development’ section.

Clear guidelines, compliance processes, risk management and a whistleblowing scheme support a corporate culture characterised by responsibility and integrity.
