Sustainability at A. Eberle
Who we are
Our team »Sustainability at A. Eberle« was founded with the intention of making our company even more environmentally friendly and therefore more sustainable. We aim not only to keep pace with current trends and future requirements, but ideally to be one step ahead. Our ambitious goal is to become a role model for other companies in terms of environmentally friendly and sustainable business practices in the future.
Our Vision
“Leading by example in sustainability and carbon neutrality“
A. Eberle aims to become a carbon-neutral company. In the medium and long term, this will become a prerequisite for all companies in industrialized nations to collectively slow down and halt global human-induced climate change. We aspire to lead the way for other companies, especially SMEs in Germany and Central Europe, by setting a positive example through promoting measures for sustainability and climate protection. In doing so, we contribute our part to preserving our resources and livelihoods for future generations.
Our Motivation: The path to carbon neutrality
A sustainable orientation of A. Eberle brings both internal and external benefits:
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions
- Conservation of resources
- Assuming societal responsibility
- Setting an example for other companies
- Fostering a positive and future-oriented work environment
Our path to increased sustainability – action plan
Our strategy includes a wide range of measures that we are implementing in parallel:
CO₂ footprint
In order to assess the current situation, identify potential for CO₂ reduction and make the progress and effectiveness of our actions measurable, we prepare a CO₂ balance sheet for our company in accordance with the GHG Protocol standard.
Since 2023, we have also been a member of the EcoVadis platform, which evaluates companies in terms of ethical criteria and sustainability benchmarks, including CO₂ emissions.
Electricity
We carry out analyses of our energy consumption – using our company’s own PQ-Boxes (mobile network analysers), among other methods – in order to identify “hidden” consumers that offer no productive benefit and initiate appropriate countermeasures.
Since the beginning of 2024, we have been purchasing electricity via a green electricity plan, which in turn will have a positive impact on our carbon footprint.
Resources
Waste sorting, shared disposal containers, sustainable alternatives to paper towels, optimisation of paper/print consumption and packaging materials are just some of the points we implement throughout the company.
Further aspects and future perspectives
There are a number of further measures that are already being implemented or will be launched in the future, e.g:
- ISO 14001 certification (environmental management system standard)
- Further reduction of CO₂ emissions by expanding sustainable mobility (including a complete switch to electric mobility company fleets)
- Further measures to reduce waste and the resources used
- Regional projects (e.g. expansion of green spaces, insect hotel, etc.)
