Sustainability

We take our responsibility towards people, society and the environment seriously and act accordingly. We want to contribute to creating a social environment that respects human dignity and is stable in the long term.

Responsibility for people,
society and the environment

01

Tolerant

We want to offer our employees opportunities for sustainable education and training, family planning and personal prosperity. With good ideas and competence, it is possible for every team member to take on responsibility - regardless of age, gender, handicap, skin colour, religious world view as well as sexual orientation and identity.

02

Responsible

GD Optics acts in a forward-looking and responsible manner in all corporate areas. We are committed to protecting nature and take ecological values and criteria into account along our entire value chain. We combine environmental protection and occupational safety in one hand.

03

Ambitious

Based on our experience to date, we are now setting ourselves even more ambitious goals. We will intensify our efforts and raise our own bar. The exclusive purchase of green electricity and the energy-sustainable management of processes are part of the programme.

04

Future-oriented

Compliance with our principles is ensured by our sustainability officer, and we are also planning to introduce a sustainability report for the coming business year.

Every step can make a big difference

Environmentally conscious

We encourage our employees to switch from car to bike by introducing a job bike that GD Optics employees can lease at a low price.

Resource-conserving

Our company vehicles are all hybrids or fully electric. In our day-to-day work, we are pushing for an office that is as paperless as possible in order to conserve further resources

Sensitising

We only buy Fairtrade and organic products to provide our customers and employees with coffee and drinks.

Innovation and sustainability

"We strive to develop the basis for innovative solutions through our products that provide answers for a better future. We drive digitalisation in engineering and through sustainable production methods. We empower our customers to achieve sustainable growth and transform industries to save CO."

Sustainability has always been an integral part of our corporate strategy.
Innovative technology is at the root of GD Optics and will continue to be the core element of its future.

Driving growth

We empower our clients to achieve sustainable growth and transform industries to save CO.

CO2 savings potential

A recent study* shows that photonics has enormous CO saving potential, enabling at least eleven percent of the globally agreed CO savings by 2030. 1.1 billion tonnes less CO already today and three billion tonnes in 2030.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Photonics makes a significant contribution to achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement - through reduced electricity consumption, CO2 emissions or fertilizer use, through material savings or due to new recycling processes and technologies for environmental protection.
