Aligned with the Zeppelin Group’s sustainability strategy, Corporate Social Responsibility means for the plant engineering company Zeppelin Systems and all its subsidiaries worldwide a long-term authentic commitment to the environment and society as a future-proof and economically successful company. With this, we also aim to increase our attractiveness to employees and customers, strengthen our brand, and further expand our market position. Therefore, Zeppelin Systems and its subsidiaries commit to a climate- and health-friendly environmental and energy policy, which we pursue with the following goals and measures:

Maintenance and further development of an energy management system according to DIN EN ISO 50001 as well as an environmental management system according to ISO EN 14001

• Reduction of harmful greenhouse gas emissions
• Reduction of waste and promotion of recycling
• Use of environmentally friendly materials wherever possible
• Safe handling of chemicals
• Continuous energy-efficient renovations
• Use of renewable energy sources
• Minimization of CO₂ emissions
• Offering sustainable solutions to our customers

Just one example among many, but groundbreaking for the sustainable development of plant engineering company Zeppelin Systems: With the installation of a façade-integrated photovoltaic system in Friedrichshafen, in collaboration with SOLARWATT Germany and PRO+, Zeppelin is making a strong statement for the future of energy-efficient construction.

The sustainable solution comprises 1,280 glass-glass modules seamlessly integrated into the 8,000 m² façade of the Ludwig-Dürr production hall in Friedrichshafen. The innovative modules have a total output of 467 kilowatt-peak and, once commissioned, generate over 317 megawatt-hours of solar power annually.

This is sufficient to operate the entire plant engineering site at Lake Constance largely energy-autonomously, saving around 140 tons of CO₂ annually!
