Environmental

 

KARL HUGO continuously works to reduce its environmental footprint. 

Our ISO 14001 environmental management system helps us analyse environmental impacts in a structured way and implement targeted improvements.

  • Waste and resources

We separate waste consistently, return recyclable materials such as metal and wood to suitable recovery channels and rely on secure storage areas to protect soil and groundwater.

  • Energy

With insulated buildings, intelligent LED lighting, energy-efficient systems and a 281 kWp photovoltaic installation, we reduce our energy consumption and strengthen our sustainable energy supply.

  • Soft mobility

Our site is located directly on the RAVeL network. With a bicycle area, charging facilities and bike leasing, we create optimal conditions for more environmentally friendly commuting.
