Vision & Mission
As a global leader in thermal management solutions, we support applications in areas such as artificial intelligence, electrification, digitalization, decarbonization and medical technology. When developing our solutions, we take into account, among other things, power consumption, material and media use, and the refrigerants used.
Group Strategy
“Ready for Growth”
With the strategy 'Ready for Growth, we are linking our growth targets to defined ESG KPIs in the areas of energy, greenhouse gas emissions, supplier management, training and employee retention.
Greenhouse gas emissions and climate targets - Growth with responsibility
We record greenhouse gas emissions from our own activities and increasingly include the entire value chain in our analysis. We transparently present the development of our emissions, the underlying demarcations and concrete measures to reduce them in our Sustainability Report.
The European goal of
climate neutrality by 2050
forms a point of orientation for our climate strategy.
Base year of the emission reduction targets: 2025. Further information on measures, progress, and target achievement can be found in the latest Sustainability Report.

Environmental matters
The increasing global economic output is accompanied by an increasing demand for materials and raw materials. technotrans therefore takes into account the use of energy, materials and media, among other things, as early as the product development stage. The criteria considered include power consumption at defined operating points, the selection and global warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants used, the use of materials and maintenance and repair options. Where reliable comparative data is available, we specifically show differences in consumption or emissions compared with a defined reference.
We are also pursuing measures to reduce energy-related greenhouse gas emissions at our sites. As part of its Strategy 2025, technotrans had set itself the goal of switching its electricity procurement entirely to electricity from renewable sources. We report on the development and achievement of these targets in the Sustainability Report. In addition, two of our five production sites have achieved the KfW 55 Efficiency House standard.

Employee interests
Qualified and committed employees are a key factor in the long-term development of technotrans. We promote personal responsibility and development in a targeted manner and create long-term prospects. We prefer to fill specialist and management positions from our own talent pool.
In-company training is of particular importance. As part of our "Ready for Growth" Group strategy, we are pursuing the goal of achieving a training rate of at least 10% at our German sites and a cumulative retention rate of at least 80% of our trainees. In this way, we want to develop our own junior staff and secure long-term know-how in the company. We publish further information on the employee structure, training, qualification and the respective key figures in our Sustainability Report.
Corporate Management
technotrans is a member of the UN Global Compact
and is guided by its ten principles on human rights, labour standards, the environment and the prevention of corruption. These principles have been incorporated into the technotrans Code of Conduct, which is binding throughout the Group and sets out standards for cooperation within the company and for dealing with customers, suppliers, authorities and other business partners.
In addition, technotrans has a Group-wide compliance management system and a risk management system. Responsibilities, control mechanisms and internal regulations support the implementation of legal requirements and voluntary commitments. We report on key developments and corresponding key figures in the Sustainability and Annual Report.
Combating corruption and bribery
Relationships with all business partners are based on quality, reliability, competitive prices and compliance with ecological and social standards. Compliance with these standards by all employees is the basis of technotrans's excellent reputation in the procurement and sales markets and thus a central basis for the acquisition of new customers.
Prevention and control include regular compliance training, defined approval and documentation processes, the dual control principle and a Group-wide whistleblower system. The implementation of the anti-corruption requirements is monitored in accordance with the applicable legal requirements. In this way, we ensure integrity and legal compliance throughout the Group. At all times. Worldwide. We publish further information on our compliance management and the corresponding key figures in the Sustainability Report.
Respect for human rights
Equal opportunities, equal rights, fairness as well as mutual acceptance and tolerance characterise the corporate culture of the technotrans Group. We value diversity and differences both within our organisation and among our business partners.
Accordingly, we are committed to the protection of human rights, are committed to compliance with labour standards and clearly distance ourselves from child and forced labour. With our commitment to the Global Compact Initiative of the United Nations and the anchoring of these principles in the technotrans Code of Conduct, these rules are binding for all technotrans employees worldwide.
We also do not tolerate human rights violations at our service providers and suppliers. New suppliers to technotrans SE undergo a standardised assessment and are only accepted as business partners if the result is positive.
