What is your sustainability objective?
Our understanding of sustainability
Sustainability means treating our resources and environment in a responsible manner so that not just we but also future generations can benefit from them. We are convinced that the three pillars of sustainability must be in balance with each other if a company is to be managed sustainably over the long term. We continually strive to become more sustainable in all three areas and also examine which certification makes sense for us and our environment.
Ecological sustainability
Ecological sustainability relates to the preservation of nature and natural resources for our generation and generations to come. We are therefore already doing something about it – and more action will follow.
- We are FSC certified and thus committed to the sustainable management of our forest.
- We are certified to the international environmental management standard ISO 14001. By focusing on the continuous improvement process (CIP), we are obliged to continuously optimize our ecological sustainability.
- We purchase 45% of the parts for our ATS banding machines from suppliers located no more than 10 km from our Meisterschwanden production site. 85% of our parts come from suppliers within a radius of 60 km. These short distances enable us to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
- In our trade fairs we insist on high-quality, reusable components and refuse disposable plastic.
Economical sustainability
Economical sustainability is aimed at fostering long-term thinking and, as a company, achieving sustained financial returns also over the long term.
- As a family-owned SME, we are not under any shareholder value obligation and the associated need for short-term profit maximization. We think, act and run our company with the long term in mind – and therefore sustainably.
- Our lean management uncovers waste. Our staff contribute their ideas and their potential. Involvement in decision-making reinforces a sense of responsibility, awareness of the company and care in the use of resources. This is how we ensure that we remain profitable and that we will also be in a position to develop and construct machines in Meisterschwanden in the future.
Social sustainability
Social sustainability guarantees a stable society. It also guarantees human dignity, human rights, and the right to work. For our generation and those that follow.
- We develop and manufacture our packaging machines in Meisterschwanden. Our suppliers are in our immediate neighborhood. In this way we safeguard jobs in the Seetal region and Switzerland.
- Our staff come from a wide range of cultures.
- All staff are treated equally.
- We pay fair wages and salaries.
- We are a certified training company and therefore make an important contribution to the professional and social integration of young people.
