Empowering the All Electric Society

A world in which sufficient affordable energy is available from renewable resources – that is our vision.

The All Electric Society uses resources that are already there – the sun, wind, and water. Our solutions and technologies for electrification, networking, and automation are needed to convert them into energy that can be used. Together with our customers and partners, we are creating a livable, sustainable world.

Product Environmental Footprint

Phoenix Contact calculates the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) of all products, i.e., their environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Whether it’s raw materials, services and emissions in production and the supply chain, or energy use and waste during product processing, we are continuously working on creating a more sustainable product portfolio and more environmentally friendly processes.
