Sustainability strategy
Our commitment to using our resources responsibly
For many years, GEGGUS has continued to introduce new measures to ensure the resources in our production and management processes are used in economic and sustainable ways.
These measures are subject to a continual process of verification, evaluation and evolution with the aim of constantly improving our environmental footprint.
Photovoltaic roof system
The solar panels on the roofs of our production buildings have been in operation since November 2013. We installed a total of 396 modules and three power inverters, which have delivered high levels of availability and efficiency.

Solar power
We use around 50% of the generated solar power ourselves, which covers around 35% of our total energy requirement.
Energy-saving measures
At the end of production and during breaks, all systems that are not necessary to maintain operations are shut down and their power supply switched off. In this way, we avoid using unnecessary energy and protect the environment.
Circular economy
All consumption materials and raw materials are processed as carefully as possible and are recycled in the circular economy using state-of-the-art technology. To ensure responsible use of our resources, we work closely with our supply chain partners and licensed disposal companies.
Resource-saving production
When processing our aluminium profiles, we rely almost entirely on dry machining technology and largely do without the use of cooling lubricants. Where necessary we use minimum quantity lubrication. As a result, our production processes create no waste products harmful to the environment.
Changeover to electric vehicles
GEGGUS has two fully electric vehicles and two hybrid vehicles in our vehicle fleet, together with three charging points. Visitors driving electric cars can recharge their vehicles during their visit.
