Sustainability is a Core Part of Our Responsibility as a Family-Owned Company

Environmental Responsibility

We work to reduce CO₂ emissions, lower energy consumption and reduce the use of materials and packaging in selected processes.

Social Responsibility

Safe working conditions, targeted professional development, and strong collaboration form the foundation for sustainable success.

Responsibility & Leadership

Transparent processes, high quality standards, and responsible corporate governance ensure our long-term viability.

Sustainability Throughout the Entire Lifecycle

We don’t think of elevators in terms of projects, but in terms of decades. That is why we support each of our systems throughout its entire life cycle: from the initial consultation through to design, engineering, manufacture and installation, right through to long-term service, including regular maintenance. Any future modernisation work is also an integral part of our support – and extends the system’s service life by further decades. In doing so, we combine technical precision with a sense of responsibility: design approaches aimed at reducing material use and extending the service life of elevator systems, quality certified to ISO 9001, and maintenance that prevents faults rather than merely rectifying them. In this way, we create cost-effective, reliable long-term solutions for our customers.

Making Sustainability Measurable

We do not just set goals – we demonstrate measurable progress: In 2025, we achieved the following figures compared with the previous year.

70% less packaging waste

24% less CO₂ per serviced elevator

7% fewer Scope 1 emissions

50% renewable energy generated on-site

100% apprentice retention rate

Responsibility with a system

Sustainability means taking responsibility. Since 2020, we have comprehensively upgraded our site’s energy efficiency and invested in efficient technologies and photovoltaic systems. In doing so, we permanently reduce energy consumption and emissions while combining environmental responsibility with economic stability.

— Hans Martin Lutz, Managing Director

Sustainability considerations are integrated into key areas of our corporate strategy and operations. We are committed to the highest standards of quality, customer and employee satisfaction, and the responsible use of environmental and natural resources. As a trusted partner, we take responsibility throughout the entire lifecycle of our products — guided by our purpose, “Enabling access. Creating quality of life.”, and by clear values that support the sustainable development of our company.

— Marcello Pantke, Managing Director

The continued development of our vehicle fleet highlights our transition towards lower-emission mobility. The share of fully electric vehicles has more than tripled within two years, increasing the share of journeys made with fully electric vehicles and reducing direct fleet emissions. In this way, we combine efficient service with environmental responsibility.

Targeted training and diverse professional development opportunities are an essential contribution to social sustainability. They create growth opportunities, preserve expertise, and strengthen both motivation and innovation within the company.

As Head of Sustainability and Quality, my goal is not only to define responsibility, but to make it visible in everyday work. For us, sustainable action means using resources consciously, continuously improving processes, and creating long-term value.
