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.
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.
Phoenix Contact is committed to sustainable resource management in all areas of the company as well as in the upstream and downstream processes of our supply chain. The increased use of renewable energies at our locations minimizes greenhouse gas emissions and our company’s environmental footprint. We assess the environmental impact of our products over their entire lifecycle and take measures to reduce CO₂ and improve resource efficiency.
Phoenix Contact is aware of its responsibility to contribute positively to the way in which we live together in our society. In our working environment, we promote mutual respect, equal treatment, healthcare, and further training opportunities. We are committed to fair partnerships, supplier relationships, and upholding human rights. This is how we ensure a sustainable and social corporate culture.
Phoenix Contact acts in accordance with clear and transparent governance structures. Clear guidelines and control mechanisms form the guardrails for ethical and responsible conduct in all areas of the company. This includes compliance with laws and regulations, promoting transparency and accountability, and taking into account the interests of all stakeholders.
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.
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.
We have good ideas for making the world of tomorrow better. Our subsidiaries, which are located all over the world, help with this.
