Green Factory for Future-Proof Production
A Green Factory combines sustainable production with measurable economic success. By using resources efficiently, reducing waste, and optimizing processes, companies not only lower their environmental footprint but also improve costs, productivity, and competitiveness. We support you in making your production future-proof, step by step. With a clear strategy, practical measures, and meaningful metrics, we lay the foundation for sustainable improvements.
Sustainability Footprint
Making sustainability measurable through key figures
The world is increasingly focusing on sustainability. It is therefore becoming increasingly important for companies to first quantify their environmental impact and then take measures to minimize it. In order to be able to make a meaningful assessment of environmental impact, ESG indicators have become established – i.e. values that measure a company’s impact on theenvironment and society(social) and evaluate corporategovernance.
These key figures help companies to make their sustainability footprint measurable in all areas, actively shape the transformation to a green factory and are also becoming increasingly important for investors. Factories and logistics chains in particular require considerable resources. We offer you solutions to measure, track and improve sustainability in production and logistics. In doing so, we are guided by the key figures that are also used for ESG ratings. With our advanced metrics and analysis tools, we empower you to understand the environmental impact of your business and then take targeted, effective action to reduce yourcarbon footprint and other environmental impacts.

Sustainability strategy for the Green Factory
Shaping sustainability for the long term
In companies that have not adopted a clear sustainability strategy, the measures to promote sustainability and the exact goals to be achieved are usually only vaguely defined. This not only entails risks because environmental impacts are ignored or legal requirements are disregarded – it also means that major economic opportunities are overlooked.
Economic, ecological and social sustainability is not an end in itself, but helps to avoid inefficient processes and therefore unnecessary costs. When developing a strategy for your company, it is important to consider not only environmental issues, but also social and governance issues, such as workplace ergonomics or your shift systems.
We are happy to support you in developing a customized sustainability strategy that defines your long-term goals for production and logistics. With our expertise and tools, we help you to minimize your environmental impact, increase your efficiency in the use of resources and thus strengthen your competitiveness at the same time. This is how we make your factory fit for the future as a green factory.
Our service packages:
- Work out medium to long-term corporate goals
- Analyze ongoing sustainability initiatives and projects
- Summarize factory key figures in the area of sustainability
- Describe the vision for sustainable production
- Define target values for the green factory and the green warehouse
- Identify fields of action and develop initial measures
Your benefit:
- Greater resource efficiency and long-term cost reduction
- Lower Risks by Taking All Relevant Regulations into Account
- Greater employee retention and higher levels of engagement within the company
- A competitive advantage in recruiting young professionals
- Proactive rather than reactive adaptation to regulatory requirements

CO2 reduction
Planning and implementation of Green Factory measures
Reducing direct and indirect CO2 emissions is a task that all companies have to face. This is a major challenge, especially in production facilities and logistics. To achieve the goal of climate-neutral production, companies need solutions that reduce CO2 emissions, especially in the areas of energy (heating, cooling, lighting, electricity and compressed air) and technology (automation, digitalization and processes).
We help companies to significantly reduce their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. To do this, we rely on innovative technologies, proven strategies and a calculation tool that we have developed ourselves. We work with you to analyse your operating processes and optimize them to minimize your environmental impact. Our main aim is to identify the greatest levers for reducing emissions. To do this, we take a close look at how efficiently the use of your facilities is planned and controlled. Together we will shape your sustainable future.
Our service packages:
- Evaluate and optimize consumption for different types of energy
- Determine emissions per product and system
- Check processes and technologies for inefficiencies
- Work out the costs and benefits of individual CO2 reduction measures
- Developing innovative solutions
- Support the implementation of the measures and check their success through monitoring
Your benefit:
- Reducing your emissions often results in lower energy and resource costs
- Transparency regarding emission sources and the greatest potential for reductions
- Prioritized measures with a demonstrable impact on CO₂ emissions

Sustainable factory and logistics planning
New and expansion planning for your factory, but sustainable
Many companies are faced with the challenge of wanting to make their holistic factory planning more sustainable, but are often unsure of what options are available to them and what benefits they can expect, for example. sustainable building or production design. This uncertainty means that opportunities for both savings and environmental protection remain untapped.
We offer you a comprehensive and long-term solution. To achieve this, we not only take a detailed look at the emissions that will be generated during the planning phase of your production facility, but also take future challenges into account, such as the adaptability of the building. In this way, we can extend the life cycle of your factory, as converting an existing building is generally more sustainable than building a new one.
Our experts offer you a range of options for designing your building sustainably and developing it into a green factory, from renewable energy to resource-efficient logistics. We are always aware of and take into account the latest funding opportunities. Together with you, we will develop a sustainable factory that is not only environmentally friendly, but also increases your competitiveness.

Digital and sustainable in the Green Factory
Exploiting the synergy effects of digitalization
Digitalization can open up enormous potential for companies, enabling them to become more efficient and competitive. However, digitalization is often seen as the sole responsibility of the IT department and not as a holistic project that affects processes throughout the company and can be extremely important when implementing sustainability goals. As a result, many companies miss the opportunity to exploit the synergy effects that digitalization makes possible.
We attach great importance to proposing a holistic solution that bridges the gap between digitalization and sustainability.
