Group Strategy
“Ready for Growth”
With the “Ready for Growth” strategy, we are pursuing a clear growth agenda in which sustainability is firmly anchored through ambitious targets. We are increasing our energy independence, reducing emissions and strengthening our position as an attractive employer.
Climate Neutrality 2050 – Growth with Responsibility
We are aligned with the European climate neutrality target and are committed to consistent decarbonisation. By 2050, we will significantly reduce emissions from our own operations and across our value chain, and neutralise unavoidable emissions through innovative technologies.

Environmental matters
The increasing economic output worldwide leads to a tendency of rising demand for resources. We therefore need innovations and technologies that reduce the consumption of materials and raw materials and thus protect the environment.
Based on many years of experience and extensive expertise in sustainable business, technotrans pursues the goal of working with its customers to develop innovative, resource-conserving solutions that reduce the CO₂ footprint.
As early as the product development stage, we attach particular importance to sustainability aspects such as energy efficiency or resource conservation. Our production is also becoming increasingly environmentally friendly. Two of our five production sites already achieve the high KfW 55 efficiency house standard.
We want to improve even more: According to our mid-term strategy, we want to obtain 100% of our electricity from renewable resources by 2025.

Employee interests
Committed employees with outstanding skills and abilities are the foundation of our success. Our employees can make a difference and are given support. This is reflected in a very low fluctuation rate and long-term connection with the company. Equal opportunities and diversity are a matter of course for us. We offer chances: We prefer to recruit our specialists and managers from our own staff.
With our attractive entry opportunities, we give young people and the company a future. As of December 31, 2019, 124 apprentices were employed in the Group. Our trainee ratio is above the industry average.
Corporate Governance
A clear commitment to sustainability and human rights: We are part of the UN Global Compact, the world's largest and most important initiative for sustainable and responsible corporate governance. Decisive factors for membership are the company's sustainable strategic orientation and its actions in line with ethical standards.
The principles of the UN Global Compact have long underpinned our actions, and we also want to build our future corporate success on high social standards and in harmony with environmental and climate protection.
Combating corruption and bribery
Relations 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 forms the basis of technotrans' excellent reputation in the procurement and sales markets and is therefore a key factor in winning new customers.
Every employee is obliged to report any form of bribery or attempted bribery directly to his or her manager. We are committed to 100% transparency and regularly monitor compliance with our globally applicable anti-corruption guideline. It is an integral part of our compliance management system. This is how we ensure integrity and legal compliance throughout the Group. At all times. Worldwide.
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.
