Environment, sustainability, architecture.

Environment

Environmental protection is at the forefront of EK's corporate policy. The consistent focus on this corporate goal is reflected in the introduction of the EK environmental management system, which has been certified by TÜV Rheinland.

One thing is clear: as a family, we think long-term, manage our affairs in a sustainable manner, like to reinvent ourselves and are open to new ideas. And this sense of unity is a wonderful thing.

Ralf M. Kronenberg, General Manager EDUARD KRONENBERG GmbH

Sustainability

Shaping a more sustainable future requires a holistic approach that enables companies to use energy more efficiently, reduce CO₂ emissions, and make optimal use of limited resources. High-level production and environmental responsibility are not mutually exclusive.

At EK, we embrace innovative solutions, such as utilizing process heat and air conditioning through heat pumps. We prioritize resource conservation, employ recyclable materials, and use e.g. ocean plastic to minimize the production of new plastics, protect marine ecosystems, and promote a sustainable circular economy. In a world where the global ecosystem is increasingly imbalanced, it takes courage to champion the environment and future generations with sustainable products. As pioneers in sustainability, we are committed to values like environmental responsibility and the common good. Our growth strategy focuses on recycling resources, demonstrating that economic success and environmental protection can go hand in hand. At EK, we prove that sustainability and success are a powerful combination.

Social competence

The EDUARD KRONENBERG brand embodies values that every member of our team is dedicated to upholding. Responsible action, passionate commitment, and a strong focus on sustainability and environmental protection are at the core of what we do. Adherence to high standards of occupational health, safety, and social responsibility is fundamental to our approach.

 

Open Spaces

The interior of our headquarters was designed as a harmonious addition to its architecture. Colors, shapes and design reflect the EK brand. Glass walls and partition screens create a completely new working environment due to the bright and light workspaces. The modern open-space concept also represents the company values: openness, team spirit, creativity and innovation.

 

Nature project

With the settlement of several bee colonies on the EK premises, in addition to the EK Green Building and participation in the climate protection project ÖKOPROFIT, we would like to set a further example: We have realized that the constant search for solutions that have as little impact on our environment as possible and the protection of species are inseparably linked.

Billions of years ago, the project of a global network of all natural processes was launched on our planet. As the inventor of globalization, nature itself is the most experienced and best teacher of ecologically sustainable management. A symbol for the big picture in our world is provided in the smallest of detail by bees. As industrious pollinators of plants, along with a multitude of other insects, they are a natural and irreplaceable part of the ecosystem, because they contribute to the well-being of the fauna and flora all over the world.

For these reasons, the recent increase in bee mortality is also a global issue. The destruction of bee colonies can be observed not only in Germany, but internationally. Scientific findings indicate that the causes are also man-made - through the establishment of monocultures and the use of pesticides in agriculture, as well as the increasing threat of climate change.

EDUARD KRONENBERG GmbH is committed to the responsible and sustainable use of the valuable resources that nature provides us with by supporting bees and preserving and caring for their natural habitat.
