Sustainability and responsibility:
environmental awareness at 4 Pipes
At 4 pipes, environmental protection is a key component of our corporate philosophy. Our thinking and actions are focused on the future – with the clear aim of taking responsibility for the environment, resources and future generations.
We systematically reduce our environmental footprint, thereby making a measurable contribution to a more sustainable industry. Our environmental management system, certified to DIN EN ISO 14001:2015, provides the structured framework for this – and is a standard we put into practice.
For us, sustainability begins with our mindset – and is made visible through consistent action: in development, production, logistics and administration. In doing so, we combine economic success with environmental responsibility – for a future worth living.
Our contribution to a better future
Conservation of resources & recycling
- Packaging materials are recycled and reused
- Offcuts are kept in the cycle
- We avoid single-use items such as cups or plastic products
- Thanks to digitalisation, our office processes are becoming increasingly paperless
Energy efficiency
We are firmly committed to energy-efficient technologies and equipment. For example, by using motion detectors and long-lasting LED lighting, we are significantly reducing our energy consumption.
Supply Chain & Responsibility
For us, environmental protection doesn’t stop at our company premises: even when selecting our partners, we take environmental criteria into account so that we can work together to establish sustainable supply relationships.
Advanced training with an environmental focus
Our staff receive regular training in environmentally conscious behaviour. Online training courses are increasingly replacing face-to-face sessions – this not only reduces paper consumption but also travel-related emissions.
Target for reducing CO₂ emissions
By 2030, we aim to gradually reduce our overall carbon footprint by 50% – through efficient processes, resource-efficient working practices and forward-looking technology.
CERTIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
DIN EN ISO 14001:2015
Our ISO 14001 certification provides objective proof that we:
- systematically monitor and minimise our environmental impact,
- reliably comply with legal requirements and environmental standards,
and continuously improve our environmental performance.
The integrated environmental management system at 4 pipes is regularly
audited and refined by external bodies – ensuring that our
