ESG REPORT 2024
We take responsibility – because sustainability is more than just a word.
Transparency is a fundamental part of how we operate – not because we have to, but because we believe it is the foundation of trust and progress.
That’s why we openly share what we have already achieved and what we continue to work on. We keep it brief on purpose – because in the end, actions speak louder than words.
We take responsibility
Environmental sustainability
Our 600+ projects per year store 13’000 tons of CO2 in the long term – the equivalent of the annual emissions of 5’800 cars.
For this, we use only certified wood from the DACH region, which regrows there in just 48 minutes.
Thanks to our hollow box elements, we use available wood particularly efficiently: With the same amount of wood, only 43’000 m² of CLT could be produced, whereas our approach creates more than twice the surface area – while using eight times less glue and generating less than half the greenhouse gas emissions.
Our mission: We use wood sparingly.
Environmental sustainability
Our mission goes beyond wood. We use all resources thoughtfully and efficiently.
This year, we switched to thinner packaging films to minimize our PE consumption.
On a summer day, our solar power system generates enough energy to supply a three-person household with electricity for over five months.
By switching from diesel to electric forklifts, we save 6'500 liters of diesel annually.
With our wood heating system, we efficiently use leftover wood to heat both our own facilities and the neighboring carpentry workshop.
We use wood sparingly. We use all resources sparingly.
Social sustainability
Our success is first and foremost thanks to our employees.
Their expertise, dedication, and teamwork have shaped both Lignatur as a company and LIGNATUR as a product into what they are today.
We firmly believe that personal responsibility is the key to unlocking skills and potential.
That’s why we strive to create a modern and attractive work environment - one that offers freedom, development opportunities, and flexibility within a flat hierarchy.
Together, we reach ambitious goals.
Social sustainability
We prioritize safety and health, designing our workplaces ergonomically to meet the needs of our employees.
Regular gatherings and various events provide opportunities for our team to connect and strengthen relationships in a lasting way. Our spacious break room also invites colleagues to cook and spend time together.
As a company rooted in timber construction, we support regional traditions and customs - such as Saint Sylvester’s Day festivities (Silvesterchlausen) - as they are an important part of our employees, the surrounding communities, and our identity.
Openness and sincerity create trust and reliability.
Economic sustainability
Alongside our employees, our customers, trade partners, and suppliers form the foundation of our economic success and the realization of our mission.
Shared values and a decades-long passion for timber construction drive our strong, collaborative partnerships.
Streamlined processes and a well-designed product optimize our cooperation - from planning to construction - efficient, sustainable, and time-saving.
Genuine partnership. From professional to professional.
Economic sustainability
Every decision we make is driven by our commitment to process optimization and product quality - always with a sustainable approach.
This year, we invested in a new high-frequency press that not only enhances process reliability but also allows us to produce LIGNATUR even more efficiently.
At the same time, we see ourselves as an integral part of the local economy, creating regional jobs and working closely with local businesses.
Quality over quantity. In every aspect.
Outlook
As a medium-sized company, we are actively committed to shaping an environmentally conscious future.
Together, we can achieve any goal.
Full speed ahead!
One idea. One team. A thousand possibilities.
