Shaping sustainability together in industrial companies
We take responsibility for the environment and invest in our future to make a positive contribution for future generations.
Sustainability
Our path
We recognize that everything is interconnected and that our actions today influence the world of tomorrow. That is why we place particular emphasis on sustainability in our company and create a working environment that both respects ecological principles and promotes the well-being of every team member. Satisfied employees are the driving force behind innovation and excellence. They implement our high standards of quality and service, ensuring the satisfaction of our customers. Our commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted and sets the course for the future. We keep our word!
Target 2030 – Scope 1 & 2
Zero emissions target
Climate issues are a top priority for us, especially in the context of sustainability in industrial companies – reducing CO2 emissions is crucial. Since 2020, we have been measuring our carbon footprint for Scope 1 & 2 to identify targeted measures to achieve zero emissions by 2030.
Our measures to promote sustainability:
– E-mobility including charging facilities
– Use of 100% renewable energy
– Operation of an in-house photovoltaic system
– Use of long-life LED lighting
– Regular energy audits
Reduction of indirect emissions
In 2022, we began recording the upstream and downstream emissions in our value chain to gain a better understanding of Scope 3 emissions and develop future targets and strategies for reducing them.
Our climate protection measures include:
– Promoting the use of public transportation
– Eco-bonuses for e-mobility
– Provision of e-company bicycles and bike leasing
– Extended home office options
– Reduction of business trips
– Optimization of transport logistics
We take responsibility
And our commitment to sustainability goes even further
We are actively committed to the sustainable and environmentally friendly distribution of our products and take responsibility for our ecological footprint. Although we take numerous initiatives and continuously improve our processes, CO2 emissions cannot be completely avoided yet – but we can offset them. To offset unavoidable CO2 emissions, we invest in certified climate protection projects. In collaboration with carbon-connect AG, we have calculated our corporate carbon footprint and offset all CO2 emissions by supporting climate protection projects. These projects, such as the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project in Indonesia and the wind power project in Anthiyur, Tamil Nadu, India, promote sustainability in industrial companies by reducing greenhouse gases elsewhere and thus offsetting our carbon footprint.
Together we are committed to a sustainable and clean future!
Corporate Carbon Footprint
Our partnership with Carbon Connect AG
The partnership with Carbon Connect AG not only guarantees transparency and credibility regarding the calculation and compensation of the corporate carbon footprint, but also ensures that we are taking a significant step towards zero emissions.
Indutrade
We make the difference
Indutrade is a Swedish industrial group consisting of over 200 companies in 27 countries on four continents. As part of Indutrade, we see sustainability as an integral part of our business philosophy. We are convinced that responsible corporate governance is crucial for long-term, sustainable growth and profitability. For this reason, Indutrade signed the UN Global Compact in March 2019.
The UN Global Compact is the world’s largest initiative for corporate sustainability, in which almost 10,000 companies from over 160 countries participate. The pact comprises a total of 10 principles relating to the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. It is a non-binding pact that is intended to encourage companies worldwide to take sustainable and socially responsible measures and at the same time report transparently on their implementation.
UN Global Compact member
At Flowtec, we recognize that our parent company Indutrade participates in the UN Global Compact, and we support the ten principles and the promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals and the UN’s broader goals. Our support for this initiative is fully consolidated as part of our parent company’s commitment. Therefore, we do not participate directly in the activities of the UN Global Compact or a Global Compact Local Network but remain closely linked to these goals through the common sustainability goals and measures of the Indutrade companies.
More than just the environment: employee engagement & health promotion
Workplace health promotion - seal of approval
Workplace health promotion (BGF) from the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (ÖGK) is now firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy and, as a certified BGF company, we are committed to the long-term health and well-being of our employees in the workplace. Because only a healthy organization forms the basis for productive cooperation and at the same time contributes to an increase in quality of life.
Employee health in every situation
FLOWprograms
As part of the BGF project, we have continuously developed our internal “FLOWprogram” – consisting of FLOWtivities, FLOWvital and FLOWcademy – and expanded it to include monthly team activities, health measures and many other offers.
The FLOWprogram is now firmly integrated into our day-to-day work and has become an integral part of our corporate communication.
FLOWprograms
Our offer for body & mind
FLOWtivities: Our annual program includes a variety of activities and team events aimed at strengthening the sense of community and promoting employee motivation. With these events, we offer our employees the opportunity to have fun together, intensify team cohesion and increase individual appreciation.
FLOWvital: The focus here is on measures and activities that promote both physical and mental health. At Flowtec, we are convinced that health is the basis for personal and professional success. That is why we continuously inspire and support our employees on their way to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
FLOWcademy: At Flowtec, we are actively committed to promoting further training to enable lifelong learning. This not only promotes the continuous expansion of knowledge, but also strengthens the personal and professional development of our employees, which in turn leads to long-term loyalty to our company.
