Sustainability

Under the guiding principle "Building Tomorrow," the ARDEX Group consolidates its concrete sustainability activities, including the group-wide climate protection strategy "ARDEX goes Zero." Details regarding goals, measures, and progress can be found on the linked ARDEX sustainability page.

Our goal is to...

• Achieve CO2neutrality by 2035 for direct emissions from own or controlled sources (Scope 1) and for indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).
• To be CO2 neutral for all emissions (Scope 1–3) throughout the group by 2045.

The best thing about small steps: You get better every day – and then you just keep at it. Because small actions, which are consistently repeated, lead to big changes. Every day, our team makes decisions that add up to a visible effect. 

At wedi, a total of 33 forklifts are currently in use – and all are electric. Since 2010, we have gradually converted our entire forklift fleet from gas operation to electric operation with green electricity. In order to always operate with the highest degree of efficiency, we also replace our E-forklifts every four years with the latest model.

In this way, we saved 23 tonnes of CO₂ emissions in 2022 alone.

Once a year, our drivers complete so-called "eco" training sessions, directly at the manufacturer of the vehicles. They learn to drive more efficiently and thus more fuel-efficient. The "Eco Trainer" display in the cab provides them with a continuous assessment of their driving style and feedback on fuel-consumption and thus helps them to be more environmentally friendly whilst on the road.

These measures contributed to us saving 7,680 liters of diesel in 2022. Seven thousand six hundred and eighty litres!

Are you missing the good old light bulbs?

We don't. Quite the opposite. We are glad that we are rid of them – 100% of them.

We have reduced our lighting power consumption by an impressive 63.5%.
