Sustainability
at PFISTERER

With the European Green Deal, the European Commission has launched a comprehensive program. The goal: to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050. The energy transition is one of the key components of the Green Deal. At PFISTERER, we are contributing with economically and technically suitable products for the implementation of the energy transition, focusing on the production of sustainable connection solutions for the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy.

OUR COMMITMENT

We see it as our duty to act responsibly and in a sustainable manner towards customers, employees, partners and society as a whole. This philosophy is reflected in all our business processes: from the selection of our suppliers and the design of our products to our involvement in social projects.

OUR APPROACH

The megatrend of decarbonization and the associated electrification require technological innovation. We will only achieve global climate targets if we modernize and expand electricity grids. Our products stand for outstanding quality, safety and maximum service life. They can help reduce CO2 emissions. Which is exactly what they should do. We keep in close contact with our customers to achieve our goal of consistently and continuously improving our products and reducing their carbon footprint. We have been coordinating our sustainability activities centrally since 2021. Among other things, this led to the definition of a group strategy in 2022, and to an expansion of reporting capacities in 2023. We want to build a working world for the future. Integrity and a sense of responsibility have always been hallmarks of PFISTERER. We want to hold onto this. We pursue a comprehensive approach that takes the entire life cycle of our products into consideration - including the impact on the environment and on our stakeholders. We are also making a commitment to sustainability through our own work and behavior and are aiming to achieve net zero (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030. We will also establish our Scope 3 emissions for the first time in 2024.
