Sustainability at Phoenix Contact
As a responsible family-owned company, it is important to us to act sustainably in all respects in order to work with customers and partners to create a livable world. We are contributing to a sustainable world based on our passion for technology and innovation – environmentally, socially, and economically.
Sustainable corporate management – ESG criteria
Phoenix Contact acts in accordance with ESG criteria and takes equal account of environmental (E for Environmental), social (S for Social), and economic aspects, bringing them transparently into line with legal requirements (G for Governance) – all with the aim of sustainable corporate management.
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.
Global sustainability projects
We have good ideas for making the world of tomorrow better. Our subsidiaries, which are located all over the world, help with this.
To mark the company’s centenary, the international teams came up with some particularly inspiring ideas. Read here about the 100,000 kilometers covered in Southeast Asia, an energy-self-sufficient ski hut in Austria, and a solar carport in Belgium.
