Through our commitment to sustainability, we are also increasing our competitiveness and aim to make a decisive technological contribution to a sustainable industry together with our customers.

 

What we stand for

Protecting the environment and saving resources

Our business activities should have as little negative impact as possible on people, animals and nature. As an internationally successful technology group, we are aware that we operate in a field positioned between two conflicting interests as the manufacture of industrial products consumes energy. We therefore use natural resources responsibly and are proactively committed to protecting the environment.

Focus on people

We are aware of our responsibility to our employees – their well-being and health are very important to us. We promote their personal and professional development, for example, through in-company training and continuing education. As a reliable and responsible employer, we promote an open, respectful corporate culture across all hierarchical levels.

Our worldwide entrepreneurial activities are consistently guided by the principles of our founder, Ludwig Schunk: it is our goal to achieve long-term stability through reliability and profitable growth. In addition, through  customer orientation, commitment and technical expertise, we cultivate long-lasting, successful partnerships.

„Sustainability is a tradition at Schunk. We consistently pursue it in the areas of environment, social issues and corporate management.“

IT STARTS WITH INNOVATION

We develop solutions for a green future

As a leading technology group, we use a very special tool to address the environmental challenges of our time: our innovative strength. It has been a hallmark of our company since its founding and continues to generate new solutions focused on environmental sustainability.
