Zeppelin Power Systems Achieves Platinum in EcoVadis Sustainability Rating

Sustainability at Zeppelin Power Systems

Sustainability is an important part of the way Zeppelin Power Systems sees itself - especially as a member of the Zeppelin Group Foundation. In order to fulfill its social responsibility, the company sets itself ecological, social and economic goals that are in line with those of the Zeppelin Group. These include increasing the proportion of women in the company to at least 20 percent by 2025, reducing freshwater consumption by 10 percent and increasing the proportion of recycled materials by 20 percent by 2030.

Zeppelin Power Systems is also taking site-specific measures. In Achim, for example, the company cooperates with AZWEIO. This means that bicycles are available free of charge at the Achim train station for employees from Achim and the surrounding area to use to get to the site. This is intended to encourage the use of public transportation.

"The EcoVadis sustainability ranking is an important step in this process. It allows us to identify potential for improvement, which in turn forms the basis for ouraction plans".
