Durability of life
Developing durable solutions for bathrooms while using resources responsibly is part of KEUCO’s corporate philosophy - in the development of products as well as in their manufacture. The aim is to develop and produce products that can be used for many years.
"We look at economic, environmental and social aspects in equal measure. Our aim is to shape the development of our company in the long term and to implement concrete measures for conscious use of resources. We want to continue on this path consistently in the future."
Lubert Winnecken, Managing Director of KEUCO GmbH & Co.
RESPONSIBILITY
Assuming responsibility - in all areas that are important for the high-quality production of products. Responsible use of resources and the continuous further development of processes are part of KEUCO’s ambition.
Manufacturing is about using energy as efficiently as possible.
This is supported, among other things, by the use of its own combined heat and power plant and the use of energy from photovoltaic systems.
For plants in manufacturing and building technology, the long-term focus is on energy-efficient systems and the use of energy from renewable sources.
KEUCO is committed to keeping the use of materials as low as possible.
KEUCO purchases the majority of its deliveries of materials and semi-finished products from Germany, or directly from the region in the fittings segment. Numerous circulating trays are used, so that transport packaging can be completely avoided in many places.
Another aspect of material management is very good waste prevention in production as well as strict quality checks at all stages of the value chain.
Conscious use of resources is part of the corporate culture and is incorporated into the development and manufacture of products.
These are always designed according to the principles of formal reduction and optimal use of materials. The result is the combination of a strong design look and the conscious use of materials.
For optimal results, a mix of high-tech production and elaborate handwork is used in production. Even the smallest particles, for example, created during the grinding process of fittings and accessories, are collected and recycled and returned to the production cycle.
The development of KEUCO products focuses on durability, material efficiency and conscious use of resources.
Among other things, KEUCO offers fittings with limited flow rates that can help reduce water consumption. When hot water is used, this can also reduce the energy requirement for hot water production.
Durable products designed for many years of use are also part of the range. Should a product nevertheless need to be repaired after many years, our spare parts service will support you with maintenance.
In addition, the range includes solutions that are geared towards different needs and life situations and enable comfortable use for people of different ages.
KEUCO products are subject to high quality standards and are produced in accordance with the specifications in compliance with the strictest quality assurance measures and controls “made in Germany”.
The timeless aesthetic design and high quality also ensure that KEUCO products are still up-to-date tomorrow. KEUCO offers comprehensive spare parts management for this purpose.
The KEUCO manufacturer’s warranty starts two years and ends five years after the purchase of the product (warranty period).
EMPLOYEES
Make your contribution. For KEUCO, corporate responsibility also includes a special commitment to its employees. Continuity on the owner side, the leading role in the market and the independence of KEUCO as a company offer a secure workplace.
A long history and a forward-looking view of business decisions can provide this security in the long term. Within a positive learning and performance culture, everyone has the opportunity to grow with the company and shape their own career through their contribution and individual commitment.
ENGAGEMENT
Broaden your view. KEUCO also engages regionally and supra-regionally in social projects - the spectrum of engagement is broad. For example, local sports clubs, cultural projects and schools are supported.
In addition, KEUCO supports public institutions and projects on the topic of water and health worldwide. In 2019, KEUCO became aware of the Kumanga initiative, which offers people in Malawi help to help themselves. At its core, it is about building wells in areas where there is a lack of fresh drinking water.
DNK SEAL
KEUCO’s sustainability report has been recognised by the Council for Sustainable Development (RNE) and is now officially listed in the German Sustainability Code (DNK). This means that KEUCO meets the strict transparency standards of the DNK and has received the official DNK seal for this.
This signet confirms that KEUCO acts in accordance with the 20 sustainability criteria of the DNK. We are already working on the new sustainability report. Regular reporting makes progress transparent to the public and makes KEUCO’s path to a more sustainable future visible.
