Sustainability

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. That is why sustainability is a very high priority for Freudenberg. For us, sustainability means resource efficiency in the use of energy and materials.

For us, sustainability means resource efficiency in the use of energy and materials.

Footprint and Handprint

Sustainability has two dimensions for the Freudenberg Group. First, the way the company shapes its own processes and uses its systems to reduce resource consumption (footprint). Second, Freudenberg offers numerous products and solutions that enable customers to manufacture more efficiently and sustainably or to make their products more resource-efficient (handprint).

Handprints and footprints are always a matter of resource and energy efficiency, and that invariably means technology.

The five topics of materials, waste, energy, emissions and water are the most relevant.
