Comprometidos con el presente y con el futuro

Nuestra estrategia de sostenibilidad

Como empresa que opera a nivel mundial, somos responsables de nuestros empleados, socios comerciales y generaciones futuras de acuerdo con nuestra política de sostenibilidad y calidad. Con este enfoque, reafirmamos nuestro compromiso de continuar reduciendo las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero para proteger el medio ambiente e impulsar el desarrollo sostenible en nuestra empresa.
La protección del medio ambiente y el uso sostenible de los recursos también se encuentran entre las tareas más importantes del futuro para EJOT.

Los productos EJOT ayudan a ahorrar energía y proteger el medio ambiente.

La mejora continua de los procesos de producción es un factor tanto económico como ambiental. No solo en el desarrollo de productos, sino también en la producción, intentamos reducir el impacto ambiental de manera constante y, por lo tanto, garantizar la protección del medio ambiente continuamente. 
Nuestros productos nos ayudan a alcanzar estos objetivos porque los tornillos son básicamente productos reciclables. Mediante el uso de productos innovadores, se puede reducir el grosor de los materiales. Esto es particularmente importante en la industria automotriz, ya que no solo ahorra materias primas, sino que la construcción de chasis más ligeros también es una forma muy efectiva de reducir el consumo de combustible. 

EJOT es un pionero en la industria de la construcción. Por un lado, nuestros productos se utilizan para fijar plantas de energías renovables como la energía fotovoltaica; por otro lado, nuestros tacos fijan el aislamiento térmico de los edificios con fachadas SATE o ventiladas. Fuimos el primer fabricante que obtuvo una Declaración de Producto Ambiental (EPD) para nuestros tacos de clavo y tornillos de fachada, por lo que podemos proporcionar documentación completa sobre la sostenibilidad y el impacto ambiental de los mismos.

EJOT becomes climate neutral

The EJOT Group wants to become climate neutral by 2035 and reduce its CO2e emissions from currently 188,400 tons to zero. An ambitious goal that the family-owned company has set for itself in its 100th anniversary year. The clear message is that avoidance takes precedence over reduction and compensation. The need to act is not only due to the increasing requirements of customers and legislators, but also in particular to our responsibility towards our employees and future generations.
At regular intervals, our sites are audited in accordance with the ISO 14001 environmental standard. In addition to continuous improvement of the system, the focus is also on increasing the environmental awareness of our employees.

In 2013 we implemented an energy management system according to ISO 50001. Through numerous investments in energy saving projects at our German and international locations we were able to save valuable resources.

EJOT Sustainability Strategy

The EJOT Group wants to actively face the challenges of climate change and coordinate and advance the developments in the group of companies with strategic objectives and guiding principles.  In order to be able to act in the global context of sustainability development, EJOT is oriented towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

For the globally operating company, the objectives on the right represent overriding topics.

These Sustainable Development Goals enable the group of companies to develop systematic guidelines to achieve the goals. In line with this, EJOT has designed three sustainability categories under which any activities to achieve carbon neutrality in 2035 can be defined:
  • Thinking Sustainably
  • Becoming more efficient
  • Green energy supply

EJOT products help to save energy and protect the environment

Continuous improvement of production processes is both an economic and an environmental factor. Not only in product development, but also in production we try to constantly reduce the environmental impact and thus continuously ensure the protection of the environment.

Our products help us to realize these goals, because: screws are basically detachable products and therefore recyclable. By using innovative products, sheet thicknesses can be reduced. This is particularly important in automotive construction, because not only does this save raw materials, lightweight construction is also a very effective means of reducing fuel consumption. For the first time in 2019, we have determined an overall environmental impact for our non-detachable compounds.

EJOT is also a pioneer in the construction industry. On the one hand, our products are used to fasten renewable energy systems such as photovoltaics, and on the other hand, our anchors help with the thermal insulation of buildings. Our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for fasteners, substructure systems and thread-forming construction screws are continuously developed and updated.

A common path begins

EJOT goes the way to climate neutrality. A responsible task for the future, which cannot be solved alone. This is clearly shown by the distribution of all CO2e emissions at EJOT. With more than 77% the scope 3 at EJOT worldwide takes the highest and at the same time the most difficult share. The difficulty exists because there is no direct influence on the part of EJOT. Here our suppliers and service providers are asked to reduce their share of CO2e emissions. We support the use of green steel or green granulate as well as a CO2e free logistic chain. Only with a joint effort of all parties involved in the supply chain a climate neutrality can be achieved at EJOT from 2035.

Do not hesitate, join us. Let's shape our future together!
