Sustainability mission statement of the MENNEKES group

The MENNEKES group is a family-owned company and a global player, locally rooted and internationally active. This versatility also brings a diverse range of responsibilities, which we embrace with conviction.

We are driven by various motives:

Matter of course – We believe it is right and necessary to place sustainability at the center of our actions in order to contribute to the preservation of natural resources and to advocate for a diverse, tolerant and free society that can grow in peace and prosperity.
Expectations towards MENNEKES – Our most important stakeholders (our customers, our employees and society) rightly expect sustainable actions from us.
Economic benefit – We see a strong economic benefit. With our commitment, we can reduce risks and costs for both our company and society.
Electrification is our core competence – Climate protection requires a climate transition. The core of the climate transition is electrification – and this has always been our core competence.

Power for a liveable future

Power for a liveable future means for us to balance economic, ecological and social goals for the benefit of current and future generations.

We believe that sustainable business practices and investment in sustainable industries are success factors for our company. We offer our customers added value while meeting increasing demands.

From our perspective, sustainability encompasses the following topics:

climate and environmental protection as well as mitigation of climate change
further electrification of society as a central component of the climate, transport and energy transition
socially responsible and cost-conscious economic actions – for our employees, our customers as well as our business contacts
a commitment to a diverse and free society where peace and economic prosperity prevail

Our 8 fields of activity

Products and services for a sustainable world

We are key players in future industries. We develop product and software solutions as well as customer-oriented service offerings that contribute to the climate, transport and energy transition and can meet customer needs in terms of sustainability.

We focus on industries that support this development and make our world more sustainable step by step.

Resource and energy-optimized product development

Our product solutions are durable and robust. In product development and production we focus on energy efficiency, weight reduction and the use of alternative and as resource-efficient as possible product materials.

Product compliance and product safety

In electrical product, safety is particularly important. The safety and quality of our product solutions during installation and use have always been and will continue to be of great importance to us.

Energy efficiency

We increase the energy efficiency of our group and transform our energy supply to electric while simultaneously switching to renewable energy.

Corporate culture

Our corporate culture makes us unique. It should be tangible for everyone in the company at all times. Our values apply to MENNEKES worldwide – today and tomorrow.

Firmly anchored here are also the topics:

education and training
occupational safety and health protection
compliance,

which have always shaped our self-images as a locally rooted family business.

Logistics and mobility

By carefully selecting means of transport, we reduce CO2 emissions in the mobility of our employees and the transport of our products.

In logistics, we focus on more efficiency in the organization of delivery and storage.

Resource efficiency

By expanding recycling processes we continue to consistently avoid and reduce waste. We aim to further strengthen awareness of the sustainable use of resources.

Sustainable supply chain management

A large part of our value chain lies outside our company. Therefore we transfer the requirements that we set for ourselves from the mentioned fields of actions to our customers as well.

Sustainability mission statement

In these fields we act within our economic possibilities and opportunities. Our commitment must be in line with the challenges of global competition. The goal is to develop and implement a long-term strategy. It should be an important part of the MENNEKES brand core.

We want to continuously improve our performance. We aim to be a role model for companies of our size and industry and always communicate truthfully. For all these goals we are committed with all our strength and concrete measures – power for a liveable future.
