Sustainability Strategy
Sustainability Throughout the Entire Value Chain
For us, sustainability means more than just climate protection. We take responsibility for people, the environment, and society, and we base our actions on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
From fair working conditions to equal opportunity and continuing education, all the way to resource-efficient processes and climate-friendly packaging solutions, we take a holistic approach. Through concrete measures and clearly defined goals, we work every day to actively promote sustainable business practices in the packaging and logistics industry.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations as a roadmap for sustainable development through 2030.
As a first step, we have decided to focus on implementing 10 SDGs. You can find each of the individual SDGs here, along with a brief overview.
No poverty
Fair payment and respect for human rights are at the top of the agenda for the sustainable expansion of jobs and have been firmly anchored in our goals. When selecting our business partners, we also ensure that they are in line with our goals.
Health and well-being
As an employer, we ensure health and safety in the workplace in accordance with legal regulations. Our occupational safety specialists and company doctors are on hand to advise us and ensure that these regulations are complied with.
High-quality education
We believe that sustainable growth can only be achieved if our employees can develop freely and thus continue to grow. We promote this with a range of different training opportunities, among other things. At the same time, we see the future in our trainees and support them in their growth and on their journey into professional life.
Gender equality
In a predominantly male-dominated industry, we are leading by example and steadily increasing the proportion of women in our company. We have already made some progress in the past year.
Affordable and clean energy
We are taking advantage of the development of renewable energies and are already implementing them in the company in the form of various projects. The switch to green electricity shows that an awareness of sustainability can also have economic benefits. The expansion of electric charging points at our sites is a priority and also helps us to use electric vehicles.
Decent work and economic growth
Good, secure jobs and compliance with the minimum wage are top priorities in our company and help us to operate sustainably and grow as a company with the right awareness.
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
With the intention of becoming a driver of innovation in the industry, we are actively addressing the topic of digitalization. To this end, we have created our own department, AXXUM Innovation, which deals exclusively with future topics and drives the AXXUM Group forward.
Fewer inequalities
We foster fair treatment of one another by firmly anchoring this in our corporate culture. At the same time, a high level of diversity is important to us, as it brings out different strengths and thus drives our company's growth.
Sustainable consumption and production
Regionality and fairness are important building blocks in the expansion of our sustainable supplier management. Our motivation is to conserve natural resources. To this end, we have the topic of alternative raw materials on our agenda and are always on the lookout for innovative ways to use new raw materials.
Climate protection measures
We have set ourselves the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2030. We have set up our own sustainability team for this purpose. This team is bringing AXXUM a little closer to its goal every day by implementing various projects. One of these projects is the optimization of the vehicle fleet to e-mobility, which we want to have achieved by 2030.
Our Commitment to Greater Sustainability
Climate Neutrality by 2030
Our goal is to continuously reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. This is based on our annual emissions reporting in accordance with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064. We publish the complete results transparently in our sustainability report.
To achieve this goal, we are already implementing numerous measures: from converting our vehicle fleet to electric mobility, to purchasing green electricity and green natural gas, to using wood waste for heat generation, energy-efficient LED technology, and the expansion of our solar power systems.
At the same time, we are continuously working on additional solutions that promote climate and resource protection. These include sustainable product innovations such as the wooden nail and the kliXXkiste, which we use to strengthen environmental considerations throughout the entire value chain.
