Our understanding of sustainability
Sustainability is viewed holistically at Zeppelin, and environmental, economic, and social aspects are considered to be of equal importance and value.
Environment
Our ambition is to make an active and authentic contribution to climate and environmental protection. We are proactively tackling the current challenges of our time and are developing environmentally friendly as well as technically and financially feasible solutions. This will enable us to increase our positive impact on the climate and the environment, while at the same time placing great importance on the economical, responsible use of our resources. Among other things, we have set ourselves the goal of becoming a CO2 neutral company by 2030.
Economy
For Zeppelin, economic sustainability is a basic requirement for the long-term safeguarding of economic success and expansion of our competitiveness. Sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate strategy and corporate values.
Society
Zeppelin assumes social responsibility in the spirit of sustainable action. In this way, we maintain and further expand our attractiveness as an employer. This is essential to ensure a high level of qualification and motivation among our employees while also maintaining and improving our employee retention and development.
Holistic sustainability – Zeppelin creates value for all
“Our goal is to be a driver of sustainable transformation in our industries. We do this by providing our customers with products, services and processes that add value for the environment, climate and people.”
Christian Dummler, Managing Director and CFO of Zeppelin GmbH
Sustainability and UN Global Compact
As a foundation-owned company, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of our corporate strategy. It aligns with the principle of infinity and reflects our shared values.
By joining the UN Global Compact in 2016, Zeppelin made a clear commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices. Since 2019, the Group has voluntarily published a consolidated annual sustainability report that transparently outlines our CSR strategy as well as the progress and developments since the previous reporting cycle.
Our latest sustainability reports, including all measures in the areas of environmental protection, social responsibility, and good corporate governance, are available below.
