Geberit’s sustainability strategy and its objectives are based on such global trends as increasing water consumption. A core question in this respect is the increasing consumption of natural resources such as water and energy.
Water as a central theme
Firmly established environmental principles oblige Geberit to treat water, energy and other resources carefully. Production is made as energy-efficient and resource-sparing as possible. By far the greatest effect is seen in those products that consume water on a daily basis. Until 2006, the entire dual flush and stop-and-go “fleet of cisterns” from Geberit – produced since 1998 and still in operation today - succeeded in saving over 4,500 million cubic meters of water.
Water-saving developments are particularly important; however, they are not the only important sustainability theme for Geberit. Customer satisfaction and loyalty, or remuneration in line with market rates and attractive development opportunities for its more than 5,000 employees, are additional selected aspects of our sustainability strategy, which involves concrete objectives and measures.
Dialog as part of the corporate culture
Geberit maintains a close dialog with a variety of internal and external stakeholders. Below are a few examples of Geberit’s culture of dialog which is committed to the motto "clear and true".
- Customer surveys at country level
- Surveys among employees
- Initial discussions with new suppliers
- Continuous interaction with non-profit-making organizations and associations
- etc.
