Sustainability at Christ: working together

As a truly global company, we take our impact on the environment very seriously and recognize our responsibility to ensure that our products and production processes do not harm the environment. It’s no surprise then that sustainability has been an important part of our corporate culture for a long time and is firmly anchored in the corporate Sustainability Mission Statement. We have adopted a long-term corporate strategy and regularly invest in sustainable, economic success, which of course demands both modern infrastructure and excellent working conditions.

Our goal is to run and develop our company in a sustainable way, giving economic growth, environmental compatibility, and social responsibility equal consideration.

Green electricity: sustainable energy for our production

100% of our electricity comes from renewable energies - generated from European hydropower, wind power and photovoltaics. We therefore rely on a sustainable, environmentally friendly energy source and manufacture our products to the highest ecological standards.

Sustainable re-use of packaging material

For us, sustainability does not end with production - we also rely on environmentally friendly solutions for shipping. Wherever possible, we reuse packaging materials to conserve resources and reduce waste.
