Sustainability with a system
Stannol has set itself the goal of continuously improving its own contribution to environmental protection. We are therefore constantly working on our efforts not only in the area of products, but also throughout our business operations.
We have created our own platform for our sustainable activities: our "World of Stannol". There you will find information and videos about our commitment to environmental protection and sustainability. You are welcome to take a look and find out more about our projects:
You can find an overview of our most important activities in recent years in the timeline below.

Stannol wins Climate Prize of the Key Region
We are delighted that the Velbert/Heiligenhaus key region has honoured us with the Climate Prize 2024!
Carbon Footprint 2023
For our carbon footprint, all German sites (Velbert, Schrobenhausen and Wülfrath) are considered in terms of their emissions from vehicle fleet, gas and oil consumption as well as electricity. Compared to 2019, we were able to save around 90 percent of these emissions through targeted measures. We compensated the remaining emissions through a climate protection contribution. This went to the non-profit organisation atmosfair, which uses the contribution to support three climate protection projects in Nigeria, India and Kenya.
Environmental Management according to ISO 14001
Stannol has been certified according to ISO 14001 – the globally applied standard for an operational environmental management system – since 2015. With this, Stannol pursues the goal of a responsible use of natural resources. Efficient use of energy and raw materials, waste minimisation and targeted risk prevention – all this is part of environmental management according to ISO 14001.
