S+S is now an ISO 14001-certified company for environmental management
S+S Regeltechnik obtained ISO 14001 certification in June 2023, thus meeting internationally recognized standards for sustainable environmental management. This certification confirms our commitment to environmental protection, the reduction of environmental impacts and the continuous improvement of our environmental processes. We are proud to contribute to building a sustainable future for generations to come.
Sustainability underpins everything we do. This is reflected in our code of conduct, our strategies for an environmentally friendly future and our manufacturing processes. We don't have a "Planet B", or an alternative society - that's why we have to take care of all our resources!
State-of-the-art building technology
In 2021, S+S moved into a new building equipped with a state-of-the-art building management system, state-of-the-art thermal insulation and exclusively LED lighting. Thanks to state-of-the-art home automation (Modbus/KNX) for air-conditioning and blind control, and a heat pump with over 99% efficiency, we are actively contributing to sustainable energy use. Thanks to these measures, we are pioneers in the operation of comparable buildings, and are 20% below the strict limit of primary energy requirements according to the German Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV).
Climate-friendly shipping
We consistently use DHL's climate-friendly GoGreen shipping option. With GoGreen, transport-related CO2 emissions can be subsequently offset by investments in certified external climate protection projects worldwide. This makes 100% climate-neutral shipments possible. For S+S, this means annual CO2 savings of up to 5 tonnes.
Packaging recycling
S+S relies 100% on ecological and reusable packaging materials. For example, we use only recycled shipping cartons and biodegradable filling materials. By using cornstarch chips instead of plastic chips for packaging, we reduce the amount of plastic we use by 900 kg per year. What's more, we're part of a rolling packaging system: many of our suppliers deliver their products in large, reusable crates, instead of climate-damaging individual packages.
Other environmental objectives:
- 5% reduction in company-wide CO2 emissions
- electricity from 100% renewable energies
- Fleet conversion to electric vehicles
Public charging stations at S+S
We take climate protection seriously!
To promote our company's objectives, we have installed four publicly accessible electronic charging stations on our company premises. As a result, we were able to convert the S + S-Fuhrpark completely and easily to electric vehicles.
What's more, our employees and customers can now easily and conveniently charge their company or private vehicles during working hours or when visiting our company, thus making a positive contribution to the CO2 balance in addition to saving time and costs.
People and working conditions
We treat all people with respect and dignity. The conditions, rights and development opportunities of our employees are the same throughout the company and do not depend on age, gender, ethnicity, physical condition, religion, beliefs or sexual orientation.
Diversity, equality and the reconciliation of work and family life are an integral part of our corporate policy. We are committed to creating a healthy and safe workplace, based on mutual respect and giving every employee the room to develop personally.

New from 2023:
The health and well-being of our employees is particularly important to us. That's why we're pleased to offer our employees additional special benefits starting this year:
- In addition to the weekly fresh fruit basket, every employee can enjoy a free hot meal every day in our canteen. Why is this? We're convinced that a good, healthy, shared meal promotes well-being, a sense of belonging and, ultimately, performance at work.
- We also pay our employees tax-free inflation compensation to reduce their current high financial burden.
- In addition to using the company's rental bikes, our employees now have the option of renting a new bike or an electric bike at an attractive price. In this way, every employee can easily contribute to environmental protection and have a positive impact on his or her health.
