WE EXPERIENCE SUSTAINABILITY

SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

As producers, we have a responsibility to make forward-looking decisions.

Renewable Energy Our headquarters is solar powered, but there is more...
Reforestation We reforest the Transylvanian forests from which we get the wood.
Local Suppliers We choose local suppliers to minimise transport.
Plastic-Free Our lounge is completely plastic-free.
Fawn Saver Together with the local farmers, we rescued fawns with the Multiplex.
Green Websites Optimised websites to optimise CO2 emissions
Offsetting CO2 We participate in several CO2 saving and offsetting projects

GREEN AND EFFICIENT PRODUCTION SITES

1. Renewable Energy
One of the largest photovoltaic plants in South Tyrol is on the roof of our company building in Sciaves and provides 100 % of our energy needs.

 

2. District heating
Our company building is heated by the municipality's district heating network, which generates heat from renewable raw materials.

3. Energy Efficiency
We use LED lighting in all our plants. LED lamps consume about 80 to 90 % less energy than conventional lamps.

4. Thermic Efficiency
All our facilities are very well thermally insulated in order to minimise heat losses and optimise consumption.

WE RETURN WHAT WE USE

OUR REFORESTATION PROJECT

We offset emissions through reforestation. In Romania, we have launched a reforestation programme in which we plant trees. Together with the Transylvanian Forestry Department, where we source the wood for our tables and benches and where it is processed, we planted 22,250 treesOur goal is to increase this number of planted trees every year.

29,950 reforested trees

Raw materials on site

We take great care in choosing our suppliers, who must not only offer us raw materials of excellent quality, but must also be located nearby, so that we can avoid long journeys.

For example, we source aluminium and steel from Italy, and these materials are then processed at our production site in Bressanone, South Tyrol. The wood for our joinery in Romania comes exclusively from Romanian forests. This automatically reduces CO2 emissions during the transport of raw materials.

 

FOR OUR AND THE ENVIRONMENT'S WELL-BEING

plastic-free Lounge 

In our lounge, where employees meet during breaks but where we also organise many extra-work activities and fun evenings, we have decided to completely eliminate plastic. No disposable crockery and no snacks from the vending machines, just a fridge, fresh fruit, a coffee machine without capsules and with ceramic cups, and a lot of fun together!
In addition, having a place to gather allows our employees to have lunch at work, thus avoiding unnecessary car journeys.

TOGETHER WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO SAVE FAWNS

'Multiplex' Fawn Saver

The 'Multiplex' fawn saver is a device made of fabric and metal and its shape, colouring and noise warns fawns in case agricultural machines are approaching and thus ensures that they can escape in time. The hunter Diether Platzgummer came up with this idea because he wanted to prevent these accidental deaths of the animals who, in the first months of their lives, tend to stay hidden in the fields to escape predators, but fall victim to agricultural machinery. Zingerle Group manufactures all the components of 'Multiplex' on its own.

WE ARE ALSO PROUD OF:

GREEN DOT

The Zingerle Group Deutschland GmbH has been awarded the environmental certificate "Der Grüne Punkt" because it recycles used packaging and recovers raw materials to create a circular economy . The Green Dot is a globally protected trademark and the certificate applies to the packaging of both our folding gazebos and beer garden table sets.

THE CLIMATE-EUTRAL ANNUAL REPORT

Our annual report 2021 was printed in a climate-neutral way at.  By supporting the project to reforest local forests "Germany plus the Alps", we were able to offset a total of 339 kg of CO2 generated during the production of this catalogue.
