We want to contribute to creating a social environment that respects human dignity and is stable in the long term.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tResponsibility for people, <br \/>society and the environment\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p>01<\/p>\n\t\t<h5>Tolerant<\/h5><p>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 &#8211; regardless of age, gender, handicap, skin colour, religious world view as well as sexual orientation and identity.<\/p>\n\t\t<p>02<\/p>\n\t\t<h5>Responsible<\/h5><p>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.<\/p>\n\t\t<p>03<\/p>\n\t\t<h5>Ambitious<\/h5><p>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.<\/p>\n\t\t<p>04<\/p>\n\t\t<h5>Future-oriented<\/h5><p>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. <\/p>\n\t\t<h4>Environmentally conscious<\/h4><p>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.<\/p>\n\t\t<h4>Resource-conserving<\/h4><p>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<\/p>\n\t\t<h4>Sensitising<\/h4><p>We only buy Fairtrade and organic products to provide our customers and employees with coffee and drinks.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tWe lead the way &#8211;<br \/>also in our ecological footprint \n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p>Our path to C0<sub>2\u00a0<\/sub>neutrality<\/p>\n\t\t<p>We, too, know that climate neutrality is becoming increasingly important for our customers.<\/p>\n<p>Even during the initial planning for our new building project, we were able to integrate numerous sustainability goals into the development plan.<\/p>\n<p>With ten boreholes, each 100 meters deep, and two heat pumps, all production areas and offices are heated in winter and cooled in summer. The photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the production facility with an output of 99 kWp supplies us with green electricity. With triple glazing of the windows and a highly thermally insulated construction, maximum energy efficiency and cost savings are achieved.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gdoptics.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/gdoptics-elektromobilitaet-ladestationen.jpg\" alt=\"gdoptics-elektromobilitaet-ladestationen\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1347\" width=\"2400\" title=\"gdoptics-elektromobilitaet-ladestationen\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t<h5>Multiple use of resources<\/h5><p>On the way to climate neutrality, GD Optics has converted its company cars to electric vehicles and offers eight charging stations on the premises. Two cisterns are used to collect surface water for further use, for example to irrigate the green areas and plantings on the site, which covers a total of 7,800 square meters. Once the cisterns are full, the water is discharged into the adjacent ditch, thus not polluting the surrounding canals.<\/p>\n\t\t<h5>Produce foresightedly<\/h5><p>The wastewater generated during glass processing is pre-cleaned in the plant before it is discharged into the sewage system. For this purpose, we have installed a new wastewater treatment plant that filters out suspended solids. Our machines are also cooled by a cooling water cistern installed by us.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gdoptics.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/gdoptics-nachhaltigkeit-fahrrad-mensch-und-umwelt-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"gdoptics-nachhaltigkeit-fahrrad-mensch-und-umwelt\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1707\" width=\"2560\" title=\"gdoptics-nachhaltigkeit-fahrrad-mensch-und-umwelt\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t<h5>Advantages for people and the environment<\/h5><p>The employees of GD Optics also benefit from numerous advantages that were taken into account in the course of the new building. For example, a covered bicycle parking area was built at the new location and the new ventilation system has a heat recovery system so that floor cooling in many rooms means that the operation of the existing air conditioning systems can be dispensed with.<\/p>\n\t\t<h5>Innovation and sustainability<\/h5><p>&#8220;We strive to develop the basis for innovative solutions through our products that provide answers for a better future.
