Sustainability

We invest in sustainability-related initiatives in all business areas. We want to ensure that we protect the world and its resources for future generations. For us, sustainability is an opportunity to develop more environmentally friendly products, to invest heavily in renewable energies, to maintain and restore carbon-rich environments and to reduce our carbon emissions worldwide.

Sustainability through Products & Functionality

Our products are environmentally friendly, reliable and innovative. They reduce energy costs and reduce C02 emissions. We strive to reduce our ecological footprint by using the resources to manufacture our products efficiently and by aligning our operations and manufacturing processes according to this basic principle.

We work closely with international experts to create products that meet the highest technical requirements. This quality standard ensures that our customers receive high-quality, safe and efficient products.

TO OUR PRODUCT RANGE

Environmental vision

We want to be the most sustainable chimney systems producer! We aim to continuously improve our environmental footprint by working on the efficient utilisation of resources, products, facilities and processes. We optimise our plants and machinery from conception and procurement to operations.

Strategic objectives 2030

-30 % energy consumption

compared to the year 2019. The calculation is based on total energy consumption figures. Achieved to date: -12 %

30 % renewable energy

Achieved to date: 15,2 %

 -30 % CO₂ emissions

compared to the year 2019. This figure depends on all areas of the value chain, including suppliers & materials, raw materials ... Achieved to date: -13,5 %

-50 % waste

compared to the year 2019. Zero one way plastic; No landfilled waste; Inbound, process, outbound.  Achieved to date: -25 %

We follow the 4R principles

Reduce

We use fewer resources and reduce the amount of waste we reduce.

Reuse

Before we recycle or dispose of anything, we find ways to use materials again.

Recycle

To prevent wasting potentially useful materials we always try to process the transforming of waste materials into new products.

Refuse

We do not accept to use harmful materials.

More Than a Promise: Our Standards are Backed by TÜV Certification

At Schiedel, responsibility isn't just a buzzword – it's a living reality. To make this commitment measurable, we have implemented an Integrated Management System that meets the highest international standards. We are proud to hold certifications for ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 50001 (Energy Management).

The combination of these certifications – Quality, Environment, and Energy – is our clear declaration of commitment to excellence and sustainability. We are constantly working to optimize our performance in all areas. Trust a certified partner for your success!

ISO 9001 – Our Focus on Quality Excellence

ISO 9001 confirms that our processes are systematically designed to meet our clients' requirements and continuously improve the quality of our products or services. The benefit for our clients is that they can rely on our efficient and optimized operations, thereby consistently receiving reliable, high-quality results.

Wood – the most natural way of heating

Sustainability and climate protection are very important topics for all of us. It is our responsibility, both as a manufacturer and as a consumer to be careful about which energy sources we use and how we use them. The use of firewood saves millions of tons of CO2 in Europe and is a significant help in avoiding greenhouse gases. The intelligent and sustainable use of natural, renewable, raw materials, such as wood, as a renewable energy source alongside energy-efficient heating systems, helps us to achieve challenging climate goals with low emissions.

Renewable resource

Wood is a renewable resource that burns only as much carbon dioxide (CO2) as it releases from natural decomposition in the forest or as much as the tree captured from the atmosphere during its growth.

High energy value

Firewood has a high energy value. For example, take oak: whilst it has a residual wood moisture content of approx. 15–20%, its calorific value adds up to 4.2 kWh per kilogram.

Low emission factor

The impact of air pollution on our health and environment is so significant that it is considered to be the second biggest environmental concern after climate change. Firewood has a low emission factor in comparison with other energy sources, with a very low primary energy coefficient of 0.2.

Slashing emissions

Conversely, residential wood combustion occurs mostly in rural and sparsely populated areas, with a much more dispersed concentration. Old stoves and open fires pollute much more than a modern wood appliance. Old stoves are part of the problem, new stoves are stove part of the solution.

Efficiency

Today’s technology from Schiedel is able to boost the efficiency of stoves drastically by up to 95%, while also reducing emissions by 95% in comparison to old and inefficient stoves.

Growing european forest

30% of annual forest growth remains in the forest. The area of European forests is increasing by the size of a football field every minute, increasing the potential for carbon capture in the coming decades.

Use of entire tree

Sustainable use of the entire tree: wood as a raw material is not only a great material to create energy and warmth but is also suitable for building construction or making wood furniture.

European climate goals

In addition to energy savings, the EU is focusing on renewable energies, such as biomass, and wood in particular. Our energy systems need to become fossil fuel free. By 2020 the EU wants renewable energy to make up a 20% share of the gross energy consumption and at least 30% by 2030
