環境

As a result of climate change and the ever-increasing influence of humans on nature, biodiversity is declining in many regions. This comes particularly at the cost of domestic animals, whose habitat and food supply are shrinking at an ever greater rate.

For that reason, we offer a wide range of food sources and extensive safe havens on our grounds on the Hattersheim site, which have been designed with nature in mind, such as a large wildflower meadow and insect hotel, as well as fruit trees.

Our environmental management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. This is how we systematically anchor environmental protection in our management and ensure that it is taken into account in all day-to-day tasks and corporate policy decisions.

The aim is to reduce our environmental impact and continuously improve our environmental performance.

Hilscher products are manufactured in our own SMD production facility in Hattersheim, near Frankfurt/Main.  It meets the most modern requirements and undergoes continuous optimization. In addition, adjustments and repairs to our products can be carried out directly on our premises, saving long shipping distances.

At our sites we make responsible and efficient use of resources. This is ensured through regular monitoring.

Our cross-departmental environmental team continuously identifies potential for optimization that will contribute to the conservation of resources. Measures such as the installation of a PV system, the installation of LED panels, and the modernization of sanitary facilities have already been implemented.

Our daily consumption of food also plays a role in the consideration of our ecological footprint. That is why we rely on fair-trade products that meet sustainability standards for the food we provide, such as water, coffee, tea, milk, and meals. Preference is given to regional and organic products. This has also led to some of our employees making the switch to plant-based alternatives to dairy.
