Sustainability

Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of KEMMLIT's corporate strategy - in everything we do, we strive to make a positive difference for our planet and our community.

Our commitment to sustainability runs through all areas of our company. From the supply chain through our entire production process to disposal, we are committed to environmentally conscious processes and measures.

We are committed to the following key areas:

1. Responsible supply chain: We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that they adhere to the same high sustainability standards as we do. We prefer local suppliers and support and expect fair working conditions
2. Resource efficiency: We are continuously optimizing our resource consumption. This includes purchasing 100% green electricity as well as generating our own electricity with one of the largest PV systems in the region with 800 kW peak. By using recycling and reuse systems, we help reduce waste. Our products are mainly transported on reusable racks specially developed by us.
3. Environmentally friendly production: We rely on environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and sustainable materials. By using the latest machines and operating a CO2 _- neutral wood chip heating system from our wood waste, we minimize our ecological footprint.
   As a DIN ISO 14001 certified company, we have our environmental standards regularly checked and certified externally.
4. Environmentally friendly products: our “Greenline products” are made exclusively from regional and sustainable raw materials and are certified to meet the requirements of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB)
5. Social commitment:   As an active member of the Climate Protection Companies Association selected by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, we work actively in the climate protection and energy efficiency group of the German economy - in order to lead the way as a pioneer and innovator in climate protection.  

We are proud to contribute a small amount to a better world and the future of our planet and invite you to accompany us on our journey and make a difference together.

We believe companies have to take responsibility for the environment. We create sustainability by not only paying attention to our energy and pollutant consumption, but also using certified individual components for our products.

Member of: DGNB compliant cubicle systems: for your building certifications

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen e.v. (German Society for Sustainable Building, registered society) is a certification system for sustainable and economically efficient building in Germany where the Kemmlit products are made. Founded in 2007 by 16 initiators from different fields of the construction and real estate industry, this society launched a certification system just one year later, according to which already more than 750 projects have been certified. It serves the impartial description and evaluation of the sustainability of buildings and city districts.

For the evaluation of buildings, about 50 criteria apply from subject areas such as ecology, economics, sociocultural and functional aspects, engineering, processing and location. It is essential that the DGNB system never assesses single measures but always the overall performance of a building or city district.

The cubicle systems cronus, NiUU, and BASIC fulfil these requirements according to DGNB and therefore contribute to your building certification.
