Sustainability is a central element of our business strategy. We achieve economic success in harmony with ecological and social responsibility. With our corporate brand solutions, we create sustainable values – and treat the environment and resources with care. Health and safety at work are also of central importance to us: We offer excellent working conditions for all employees. Sustainability means continuous development: in training, production and our ecological footprint.

ProLicht reduces its CO₂ emissions sustainably – through energy efficiency, recycling and the reduction of fossil fuels. We carry out 95% of all tasks in our own production plants, processing almost exclusively raw materials – and thus avoiding the energy-intensive transport and storage of finished products. By purchasing large quantities, we contribute to reducing our environmental impact. In terms of energy supply, we are increasingly focusing on solar energy: a modern photovoltaic system is already in operation in Hildesheim and is also planned for our site in Poland.

The use of sustainable materials, recycling and environmental protection are at the centre of our processes. Plastic waste is reused – in 2024, we saved around ten tonnes of CO₂. Up to 45% of the aluminum we use is made from recycled materials, depending on market availability. We are creating a meadow orchard in Hildesheim and greening our office building, while in Poland the company property is being reforested. A beekeeper from our team looks after ten bee colonies at the Hildesheim site. The honey is distributed to customers, suppliers and our employees.

Our vehicle fleet is almost completely hybridized and already has many electric vehicles; by 2030, we want to convert the fleet completely to electromobility. Charging stations are available for charging at the Hildesheim site. We offer all employees attractive leasing models for e-bikes and bicycles. We are also regularly involved in local sustainability initiatives such as the AOK ‘Cycle to Work’ campaign, the Hildesheim City Cycle and the Hildesheim Company Run.

We provide training! Because we are convinced that qualified training is an investment in the personal future of our trainees and the long-term development of our company. The young generation secures the future – and anchors the concept of sustainability even more firmly in our company: Equally important: the continuous training of all our employees – for professional excellence, personal development and the anchoring of our sustainability standards.

ProLicht ensures a sustainable value chain. We work primarily with regional and European suppliers and avoid imports from the Far East in order to keep supply chains as short and environmentally friendly as possible. Our products are shipped in specially manufactured, optimized and climate-friendly wooden crates. We have also established a closed-loop system for shipping materials between our factories and construction sites. Where possible, we always rely on local assembly partners and local companies to minimize travel distances and reduce CO₂ emissions. We have digitized our invoice dispatch to save paper and fuel.
