Environmental management at our sites
We are continuously looking for ways to do more to tackle climate change through minimizing our environmental impact at our sites.
ISO 9001/14001 certifications for most facilities
We measure the environmental footprint of our production facilities in order to monitor reductions in energy consumption and waste. We also set targets to improve their footprint and implemented environmental management systems in line with ISO 14001.
In 2022, 90% of our production facilities were certified according to ISO 14001. Furthermore, all major Schindler operating companies throughout Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific are certified according to the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards. Our large factories in China, Slovakia and Switzerland implemented energy management systems and received ISO 50001 certifications.
