Actions.

CSR means more than just ecological sustainability to IDF.

The abundance of implemented CSR measures reflects the high value we place on sustainability in all its facets. IDF wants to take on social, economic and ecological responsibility. After all, only sustainable businesses are successful businesses.

We are carrying out the following:

Self-sufficient energy generation

Using photovoltaics and solar thermal energy, IDF GmbH & Co. KG produces electricity and heating energy for almost all its own needs making us self-sufficient and environmentally friendly.

Environmentally friendly products

Our modern containment solutions are much more environmentally friendly than multi-use systems. They use 95% less water and have a 35% lower impact on global warming.

Paperless office

Avoiding paper as much as possible and environmentally conscious disposal saves around 1,400 litres of water a year.

Strong employee focus

We ensure a high level of employee satisfaction with a wide range of training courses, long-term support for old-age provision, and maintain a strong involvement in our staff.

Innovative building strategy

A state-of-the-art and automated building management system has been implemented at our headquarters, which reduces energy consumption by around 30%.

Energy-saving equipment

The use of modern heating systems saves around 78% of electricity every year, and the use of modern LED lighting throughout the entire building is 90% more energy-efficient than conventional light bulbs.

High regional focus.

Our region plays a major role, especially in our supplier selection, to support the region’s sustainable economic growth and short delivery routes.

Certified quality assurance

Our processes are certified according to the ISO standard DIN EN 9001: 2015, which ensures standardised and efficient work.
