Sustainability and Resource Conservation at FOS®

Our 10-point plan

Sustainability is not a trend for FOS®, but has been an integral part of our corporate culture for many years. Responsibility towards the environment and society, the conscious use of materials, and the development of durable products shape our daily actions. Our aim is to combine safety on the roof with a responsible use of resources.

On this basis, we have developed our 10-point plan for sustainable business practices and the path towards greater climate protection:

    1. Products made of steel and aluminium – single-grade, fully recyclable and with an average recycled content of around 80% in material use.
    2. 100% recyclable packaging – made exclusively from eco-friendly solid cardboard
    3. Consistent return and recycling of transport packaging
    4. Long product life cycle to minimise the CO₂ footprint
    5. Preference for regional suppliers (≤ 100 km) with sustainable business practices
    6. Production exclusively in Germany – environmentally and socially responsible
    7. Strengthening social cohesion through fair working conditions and local engagement
    8. Eco-friendly heat generation using air-source heat pumps and waste heat recovery
    9. Renewable electricity generation from photovoltaic systems
    10. EcoVadis certification as independent proof of our commitment
Against the backdrop of climate change, resource scarcity, and social challenges, our dedicated sustainability team works continuously to increase our contribution across all stages of the value chain. This is a promise we have made not only to our customers – but also to our grandchildren.
