We see the focus on sustainability and the alignment of our actions with it as an opportunity to be competitive in the long term and to initiate change. In addition to politics, the economy must play a key role in shaping the green transition.

With this in mind, we at Groz-Beckert want to contribute our share in ecological and social terms and thus ensure responsible corporate governance. The values of our company determine our long-term strategy and guide us in our daily work: We want to act fairly, seriously and in partnership in every respect.

By the way: If you're wondering what jellyfish and sustainability have in common - these amazing creatures have the ability to produce light by themselves in the dark depths of the ocean, a process called bioluminescence. For us, this natural spectacle is a source of inspiration and motivation to become a role model and shape the path to a more sustainable world.

Diverse actions worldwide

Even though our sustainability management follows a holistic approach, our measures and projects are diverse. We are particularly focused on reducing our CO2 footprint. Our aim is to achieve CO2 neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 by 2040. To achieve this, we are investing in our own electricity supply at various locations worldwide.

At the same time, we are focusing on our product portfolio. The more durable our tools are, the greater the potential for saving energy and resources in our value chain, for example.

Another lighthouse project is the construction of our production building at our headquarters in Albstadt, which will be inaugurated in 2024. It will combine state-of-the-art building standards with the use of digitalization and virtual reality in product development and flexible collaboration models.

Holistic approach

Sustainability is more than just environmental protection. We can only contribute to a sustainable and liveable world in the long term if we equally consider the environment, people and society as well as responsible corporate governance. In doing so, we have identified key issues and opportunities for us to take action. Learn more about our activities and goals in each area.

Special application needles

Special application needles from Groz-Beckert are used whenever the requirements on the needle exceed the standard. This is the case in particular applications such as sewing technical textiles or denim, where the needle must be particularly sturdy and wear-resistant. But also when sewing fine materials, where the needle must be as thin as possible to protect the material being sewn.
A total of 6 different special application needles are available, each adapted to a specific application.
