Our Sustainability Overview – transparent und impactful
Based in Sigmaringen, SCHAEFER GmbH is a medium-sized company and a reliable partner to the elevator industry. We develop, produce, and distribute high-quality components and solutions for elevator systems in both new installations and modernizations. Our products are used worldwide by renowned manufacturers, service companies, and plant engineers. The focus of our work is on the highest quality standards, technical expertise, and customer-specific solutions. As a family-oriented company, we value sustainable action, long-term partnerships, and continuous development. Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate strategy and shapes our daily actions.
As a manufacturing company in the elevator industry, we take equal responsibility for ecological, social, and economic matters. In the ecological sphere, we focus on durable, high-quality products, resource-efficient processes, and the continuous optimization of energy and material use. For us, social responsibility is particularly evident in fair working conditions, occupational safety, education and training, and the long-term retention of our employees. Economically, we pursue a sustainable growth path focused on stability, innovation, and lasting partnerships with customers and suppliers. For us, sustainability is not a short-term trend, but a fundamental attitude that combines quality, reliability, and future viability.
The “SCHAEFER Bike Infrastructure” project was a winner in the national competition “Shaping Commutes. Mobile in Rural Areas”!
With our concept, we promote sustainable mobility in everyday working life—through better bicycle infrastructure, carpooling opportunities, and flexible solutions that make it easier to switch to environmentally friendly alternatives.
On October 27, 2025, the BBSR, on behalf of the BMWSB, honored the winning projects in Bonn—including our entry.
Together with renowned companies and participating municipalities, we are among the 20 winning projects.
The award makes it clear: when companies rethink mobility, movement happens—for people, the climate, and the region.
Together, we are shaping the commutes of tomorrow.
A big thank you to all colleagues who pushed the project forward with great commitment!
“At SCHAEFER, we are firmly convinced: Environment is the future! The responsibility for a more conscious use of resources and raw materials lies in the hands of each and every one of us. Active participation from colleagues in all areas is therefore essential. ‘Climate protection’ thrives on involvement. By continuously improving our energy- and resource-efficient processes—such as the increasing digitalization of internal workflows to reduce paper consumption, the increased use of packaging elements made from recycled materials, and other measures—we are working consistently in all areas to further reduce our CO₂ emissions.
From a company’s perspective, climate protection is not just a moral obligation, but also an economic necessity. The reasons to get involved are manifold, and anyone who looks closer will find that climate protection makes sense not only ecologically, but also economically and socially. The progress achieved so far forms the basis for the next actions.
The future development of our sustainability measures depends on the active participation of all employees.”
– Suzana Vogel, Sustainability Officer at SCHAEFER GmbH
CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e) are a unit of measurement used to express the climate impact of different greenhouse gases in a common unit. This takes into account how much each gas contributes to the greenhouse effect—compared to the reference gas carbon dioxide (CO₂).
