Our philosophy

As one of the world’s leading producers of engineered wood, the Pfleiderer Group is convinced that operating a profitable business and maintaining a responsible approach to resources are by no means contradictory aims, but that they are actually mutually beneficial. Pfleiderer therefore sees it as only logical to conserve energy and raw materials, to reduce emissions and to produce sustainable products. That benefits the environment. Simultaneously, it reduces the Group’s operating expenses, reflects our customers‘ wishes, and is of course in line with relevant legislation and regulations.

Emphasis on sustainability

For us therefore, environmental protection goes beyond a voluntary commitment. For us, environmental protection is one of the keystones supporting our corporate strategy. Because placing emphasis on sustainability helps us as a modern company to control costs and reduce risks, and also makes a substantial contribution to our long-term competitiveness.

This philosophy is applied throughout our entire value chain. Our environmental strategy is therefore based on three pillars, which also represent specific areas for action:

• Organization: Continual improvement and transparency of processes through management systems
• Production: Continual improvement of production processes in order to further reduce our consumption of energy and raw materials while maintaining the high quality of our products
• Products: Concentration of research and development work on particularly light engineered wood
