ENVIRONMENT
We are committed to growth without waste. To this end, we systematically record and control our emissions: based on reliable data, in line with the circular economy and as a solid foundation for our decarbonization strategy. For greater efficiency and future security.
At GEMÜ, sustainability is an integral part of the entire value chain, from development to logistics. We reduce emissions and conserve resources with renewable energies, efficient technologies, and recycling concepts. Our goal: reliable and sustainable production worldwide.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION
At GEMÜ, environmentally conscious actions are firmly anchored in our manufacturing processes. That is why we are continuously working to make our production more efficient and resource-friendly. With the help of modern technologies and optimized processes, we are reducing CO₂e emissions and minimizing the consumption of natural resources. In this way, we are moving step by step toward globally CO₂e-neutral production.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
We already implement environmental management in accordance with ISO 14001, validated and regularly recertified at several locations.
These international standards are an integral part of our corporate strategy and are being rolled out step by step worldwide.
Independent audits ensure effectiveness – and create transparency, efficiency, and reliability for your decision-making.
For greater environmental responsibility: measurable, traceable, certified.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
We use modern technologies to reduce energy consumption in a targeted manner – from combined heat and power plants with cogeneration to adiabatic cooling systems and efficient building insulation.
We significantly reduce emissions through LED lighting, optimized heating and cooling pump systems, and electric vehicles for factory transport.
Resource-saving manufacturing processes and durable products complement our approach to sustainable energy efficiency.
This enables us to reduce running costs and improve your carbon footprint. Permanently and measurably.
PURCHASE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
GEMÜ is committed to using renewable energies at its production sites. We already supply our plants in Germany, Switzerland, and Brazil with electricity from wind, water, and solar power.
We continuously analyze regional energy markets and tap into location-specific potential.
Our goal: By 2030, all production sites will be powered entirely by green electricity.
This will strengthen supply security, reduce emissions, and increase the energy efficiency of your supply chain.
Domestic production OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
Against this backdrop, we are investing not only in green electricity, but also in our own generation capacities.
Our plants in Europe and China operate their own photovoltaic systems – for greater independence and stable energy costs.
This enables us to reduce emissions directly on site and actively contribute to the energy transition.
For a secure supply and sustainable production, today and tomorrow.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
We reduce material requirements through efficient manufacturing and resource-saving product design. We extend service life by regularly reusing components and assemblies. We recycle residual materials back into the recycling loop. For sustainable cost optimization and lower environmental impact: measurable and future-proof.
Sustainable supply chain
We make supply chains more transparent and resilient—through clear standards, targeted material selection, and efficient transport.
This allows us to reduce risks, lower emissions, and ensure a reliable supply.
A reusable system in logistics reduces packaging and ensures long-term sustainability.
We strengthen sustainability along the entire value chain through clear requirements for suppliers, conscious material selection, and optimized transport routes.
This enables us to reduce risks, secure supply, and create transparency – from raw materials to the factory gate.
For a more resilient supply chain and greater planning reliability.
We ensure a stable and sustainable supply of materials through environmentally and socially responsible procurement.
We focus on particularly emission-intensive raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics.
With clear strategies, we optimize their use and reduce emissions along the entire value chain.
This ensures less dependency, greater efficiency, and resilient supply chains.
We continuously optimize transport processes with a company-wide Kanban system.
One key result is low-packaging shipping in standardized reusable containers, which is already in use across a growing network of suppliers.
We also regularly review our shipping methods to ensure environmentally friendly transport solutions.
Our goal: less waste, leaner processes, and more sustainable logistics.
Sustainable products
Our products are durable, easy to repair, and resource-efficient—ensuring sustainability throughout their entire life cycle.
With energy-efficient construction and separable materials, we reduce costs, conserve resources, and increase recyclability.
Our products are durable, easy to repair, and resource-efficient. We focus on their entire life cycle.
Through high-quality materials, energy-efficient technologies, and well-thought-out designs, we reduce both environmental impact and operating costs:
for sustainable investments with technical and ecological durability.
We optimize material usage and energy efficiency from the design stage using digital simulation.
Our products are made from environmentally friendly materials and allow for easy replacement of wear parts.
This reduces operating costs, extends service life, and reduces resource consumption.
For sustainable performance – well thought out right from the start.
Thanks to their compact, material-saving design, our products can be easily dismantled and their materials separated by type.
This increases recyclability and supports a functioning circular economy – right from the factory.
We stand for greater resource conservation and sustainable product responsibility.
With each new product generation, we improve recyclability and extend the life cycle of our solutions.
Instead of thinking in terms of disposal, we think in terms of cycles. This enables us to achieve measurable sustainability, including for our customers.
The result: less waste, greater resource efficiency, and lasting environmental relief.
