Production and environment

ElringKlinger constantly optimizes internal processes and invests in intelligent, modern production systems that conserve resources, both to keep emissions at all production locations as low as possible and to ensure that high quality standards are maintained. In addition, ElringKlinger always ensures that environmental aspects and energy-saving measures are incorporated into new buildings, renovations and refurbishments.

Through the ISO 50001 matrix certification scheme that ElringKlinger has introduced at its European production locations, the Group has intensified its integrated approach to energy flows and established an extensive metering infrastructure at individual production plants. As a result, previously unused energy efficiency potential can be unlocked, energy costs reduced and greenhouse gas emissions (e.g. CO₂ emissions) cut. The energy management system therefore makes an important contribution to environmental protection. ElringKlinger has already been using green electricity in all its German production plants since 2021. By 2030, all other production plants will have been converted globally. At the same time, the Group is increasingly focusing on generating its own green electricity, e.g. by installing PV systems at its own sites.
