- Set up waste recycling centre.
- Re-use of plastics in our injection moulding plants, etc.
Did you know that the Blieskastel factory has been fitted with 3,336 solar panels, which produce 477,000 kWh of power per year, some 4.2% of the site's needs or the equivalent of the consumption of 100 houses? They thus reduce CO2 emissions by 250T per year and make this a pioneering site in terms of renewable energies...
"Construisons Demain"(Buidling tomorrow) is an event that is linked in with France's commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions fourfold by 2050. Hager is reinforcing its commitment to promote sustainable architecture by sponsoring this project.
To achieve sustainable development goal forms part of the long-term approach to managing our resources. Hager Group is initiating concrete actions to set the company firmly on the path to excellence.
