The companies of the Schauenburg International Group not only show the utmost sensitivity in their use of resources, but also assume social and ecological responsibility in addition to economic responsibility.<\/p>\n

The Schauenburg International Group has been following this motto for several decades. Long-term social commitment is one of the Schauenburg family’s core values. The Schauenburg Foundation, for example, has been demonstrating this self-image since 1986: it supports international projects in science and education, with a particular focus on promoting young talent.<\/p>\n

Sustainability in the sense of company founder Hans-Georg Schauenburg means more: “It’s all on loan”. As a family business, we live these values in all our entrepreneurial activities.<\/p>\n

Our aim is to optimize our actions, our products and services in terms of sustainability and to ensure our contribution to a future worth living for generations to come. These values are directly reflected in the selection of topics that are important to us.<\/p>\n

Our sustainability strategy is based on the international standards of the European Union and the United Nations. On this basis, we define material topics that are important to us and our stakeholders because they can have a significant impact on the company’s value creation in the short, medium and long term.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Climate change and environmental impact by reducing the CO2 footprint<\/li>\n
  • Product quality and safety by promoting the circular economy<\/li>\n
  • Human rights and labor practices by providing good working conditions for all employees while respecting their equality and diversity<\/li>\n
  • Community engagement and development by supporting the education of disadvantaged children<\/li>\n
