Reporting according to DNK

For our sustainability reporting, it was important for us to select a standard that, on the one hand, places appropriate requirements on us as a middle-sized enterprise and, on the other hand, provides a recognised basis with broad acceptance. The decision was made in favour of the German Sustainability Code (DNK), whose criteria provide a transparent and holistic overview of our activities in the area of sustainability. It also makes our efforts within this field comparable.

For the reporting year 2022, we have based our sustainability reporting on the DNK standard and reported for the first time according to the criteria required there.

In accordance with the requirements, we prepared a statement on twenty criteria that provides information on the areas of strategy, process management as well as environment and society. In June 2024, our second Sustainability Code statement was published, which is available in the Sustainability Code database.

Our motivation

Stannol sees itself as a pioneer in this industry and has already set a clear example with Fairtin, which has been established for years, and the sustainable greenconnect product line. As a medium-sized company, we are taking on the challenges of the urgently needed structural change. It is essential that we actively shape the ecological and digital transformation and act in a sustainable manner. We want to continue to prove that sustainability and economic success belong together.

Our goals

We are continuously increasing our commitment for effective climate protection. To do so, we rely first and foremost on sustainable business partners, environmentally and human-friendly raw material extraction and a wide range of redesign and reduction measures at our operating sites.

Sustainability has also been included as a focus topic in our corporate strategy. Therefore, in 2022, we informed all our employees about this approach. Together, we developed detailed strategies with binding targets for the respective departments. These will be implemented individually with corresponding measures in 2023.

Proceed according to relevance

We have recognised that raw materials in the area of metals and chemicals have the greatest impact on our carbon footprint. This makes them the biggest challenge for us when it comes to sustainability. Beyond that, we also want to change things on a small scale, take suppliers, customers and employees with us on this journey, engage in ongoing dialogue and act accordingly. We have learned that you have to face the issue and start. Every contribution counts.

Our fields of action

Four key areas form Stannol's sustainability management structure. We try to bring our economic activities in line with ecological and social concerns as well as with responsible corporate management. With the involvement of all departments, the current situation is examined and questioned, and areas for development and action are identified. Strategies are developed and short-, medium- and long-term measures are identified.
We take a holistic view on sustainability and see no alternative to our actions. We are aware that we have to change our thinking in many areas and leave our comfort zone.

Products and development

Creativity is an essential success factor when it comes to the development of sustainable products. Sustainable product development also requires a willingness to change. However, this can only succeed if it is recognised that there is a real need for action. We are aware of this and took the first steps early on.

Value creation and supply chain

To improve our own value creation, we need to recognise our responsibility, exert our influence and engage in dialogue with other stakeholders in the supply chain. In this way, we can identify options for action and make reflective decisions to act more sustainably. This applies to purchasing and service processes, but also to the sequence of business activities in which value is created.

Environment and production sites

We have set ourselves the goal of expanding our production in a sustainable and future-oriented manner. We rely on automation and digitalisation to optimise work steps and processes. Since 2015, we have been certified according to ISO 14001 in the area of environmental management and are concerned with the responsible use of natural resources, the efficient use of energy and raw materials, waste minimisation as well as targeted risk prevention.

Employees and society

Our employees are the foundation of our success. Through individual training, flexible working time models and modern occupational health and safety measures, we want to create an environment in which our employees feel comfortable. Social commitment is also important to us as a traditional company. We are particularly involved in sustainable and charitable local projects.
