Sustainability The concept of sustainability was first described by Hans Carl von Carlowitz in 1713. Since the 1990s, the expanded model of thinking has developed as a “triangle of sustainability”. Today, it stands for a comprehensive future concept based on a) an ecological balance, b) economic security and c) social fairness. closeSustainability at Pöppelmann.
We do it. Better.
In joint responsibility for tomorrow.
Sustainable management has been a fundamental factor in our success for decades. The long-term added value of our actions lies at the heart of all of our decisions. This attitude is best described by the notion of "responsibility". We assume this responsibility every day anew – for our employees and the quality of our products, for the natural resources of our planet and for the region which we call home. In this report, we demonstrate how we embrace this responsibility within our company – and what aims we want to and must achieve. Read the full management statement
Our fields of action.
We have defined four fields of action for our sustainability strategy. They are mutually dependent, built on the PPx-principles and thus express our fundamental values.
Product
In the manufacture of our high-quality products, we focus on the quality of the solutions we develop together with our customers.
Employees
People lie at the heart of everything we do. Our close connection with our employees embeds our company's deep roots in the region.
Resources
Like every industrial company, we depend on resources. Our most important raw material is plastic, including as a recycled material Recycled materials Recycled materials are products from a recycling Recycling describes the process of converting waste into new materials and objects, and thus its return to the production and consumption cycle. closerecycling process.

Based on the GRI standards, we provide information and facts about the economic, ecological and social effects of our work. GRI stands for Global Reporting Initiative. This international, non-profit organisation is dedicated to the development and dissemination of a global framework for sustainability reporting.
