Sustainability is more than just environmental protection.
We take responsibility.

We value paperless processes and introduce digital alternatives wherever possible, e.g. when recording pickups of our working platforms. Waste separation is a matter of course in all of our locations. In addition, we have hazardous materials such as oils, lubricants, tires, batteries, etc. disposed exclusively by certified service providers. Upon request, we can provide equipment with bio-oil and increasingly rely on the nearly CO₂-neutral biofuel HVO 100 instead of conventional diesel, significantly reducing emissions. Only necessary and approved chemical cleaning agents are used in the cleaning process for our machine fleet. The work clothing for our industrial employees is rental clothing, which optimizes the entire clothing cycle and is cleaned in an environmentally friendly and water-saving manner. We regularly question our suppliers' minimum requirements in terms of quality, the environment, occupational safety and corporate social responsibility. When purchasing our IT technology, we pay attention to the appropriate environmental label.

For us, sustainability means to a very special degree to take care of our human resources, i.e. paying attention to our employees. This is why at mateco, occupational health and safety play a key role in sustainability. mateco GmbH is certified according to the BGHW's “Safe with System” seal of approval in accordance with the industry-specific implementation of the NLF / ILO-OSH 2001. In addition, we offer our employees various measures to promote health and above-average benefits such as height-adjustable tables, as well as regular instructions on occupational safety.

Nature is close to our hearts! With a sponsorship for six newly founded bee colonies, we are therefore committed to the protection of bees and thus take responsibility for our environment. Why we are doing this? Because the honey bee, which pollinates about 80% of all crops and wild plants worldwide, is massively threatened. Thanks to our support, new habitat for 30,000 bees was created near our company headquarters in Leonberg (you can find more information here).
