Shaping a Future of Responsibility

At pewag group, sustainability is not just an ambition – it’s a responsibility. Our goal is clear: CO2 neutral production by 2030. In alignment with the Paris Agreement and the EU Climate Law as well as United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, we’ve implemented robust measures aimed at transitioning to renewable energy and preserving resources while creating a safe and inclusive workplace. Sustainability at pewag is a comprehensive approach that covers not only environmental stewardship but also social responsibility and business ethics.

Harnessing Renewable Energy for a Greener Tomorrow
A pivotal part of our sustainability journey is our commitment to self-generated renewable energy. Since 2021, we’ve installed numerous photovoltaic systems and a biomass thermal power plant alongside two existing hydropower plants, generating over 7,754 MWh of clean energy annually. This is equivalent to powering around 2,582 households. In 2023 alone, pewag (group) reduced its carbon footprint by over 4,076 tons – comparable to planting 122,280 trees. These achievements reflect our deep-rooted commitment to take action against climate change and creating lasting environmental impact.

Embracing Social Responsibility and Corporate Ethics
At pewag, sustainability extends beyond environmental efforts. We believe in fostering a safe, inclusive workplace where diversity and equality are valued. Our high ethical standards are upheld through stringent guidelines and a robust code of conduct. These actions promote a fair and transparent corporate culture that drives both economic success and social equity.
 
A Circular Approach to Business
Our focus on sustainability doesn’t stop with energy. We continually optimise our product quality, and together with providing spare parts and repair services, this significantly extends the product life cycle. We are actively reducing waste and improving product recyclability, essential components of our circular economy strategy. In 2023, 83 % of our 7,474 tons of waste was recycled. Beyond that, we are continuously refining our production processes, advocating for e-mobility, and adopting energy-efficient LED lighting to reduce our energy consumption. Thanks to these efforts, 27 % of pewag’s energy needs were met by renewable sources in 2023.
 
Responsible Water Management
We also take a proactive approach to water. In our production processes, water is used in a closed-loop system to minimize water consumption and prevent contamination. Our hydropower plants are designed to sustain fish populations, further highlighting our commitment to responsible natural resource management.

Driving Innovation for a Sustainable Future
Through all of these initiatives, pewag (group) strengthens its position as a leader in sustainable industrial practices. Our ongoing efforts are a testament to our unwavering dedication to environmental protection while driving innovation. By embedding sustainability into every link of our chain, we aim to continue optimizing processes and setting new standards in the industry.
