Schofer Germany
Sustainability
Our commitment to a worthwhile future
Action instead of just words. Based on this premise, Schofer began supporting projects to protect people, the climate and the environment at an early stage. As a family company, responsible behavior and social responsibility are in our DNA. See for yourself!
Investment in sustainable values
Schofer has made a lot of investments in recent years, also to promote sustainability: In addition to energy-saving machines such as modern soldering ovens, new ventilation systems with heat recovery were installed throughout the building. Water dispensers with filters provide all employees with oxygen-enriched and cooled water free-of-charge.
Always something to optimise
In 2017, we comprehensively modernised our entire company building. An optimised work environment improves the quality of our products. For example, our entire production facility was switched over to LED lighting. This leads to daylight-quality lighting at every workstation while almost halving our power consumption.

… that destroyed the earth’s surface during their extraction or processing,
