Our commitment to climate protection


Sustainable production as the goal

As a metal-processing industrial company with an international focus, Dr. Hahn GmbH & Co. KG is aware of its responsibility for climate protection. We place great importance on innovative, safe and durable products of the highest quality. While doing so, we pay attention to the resource-saving use of materials and continuously improve our processes in order to have as little impact on the climate as possible. We set clear targets and measure progress on the basis of defined key figures. The focus is on the efficient and competitive production of door hinges as well as the consistent implementation of our sustainability strategy at our sites in Mönchengladbach and Erkelenz. Our goal is to develop both sites into role models for the sustainable production of door hinges.  
 

 

Our sites are supplied with 100% green electricity. 
In this way, we are actively contributing to reducing CO2 emissions as well as achieving our goal of climate neutrality.

Dr. Hahn as an employer

We are a responsible employer and partner in our region. Our employees work in a safe and modern environment. Fair wages, comprehensive social benefits and flexible working time models are a matter of course for us. An apprenticeship training centre also supports firms providing training in the region. We promote an open and integrative corporate culture. Our location is contributing significantly to the economic revitalisation of the region.

Energy Scouts 

Our apprentices are actively involved in environmental protection by taking part in the “Energy Scouts” competition. This event is organised on an annual basis by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for the Middle Lower Rhine (IHK Mittlerer Niederrhein). In various workshops, the participating apprentices learn the fundamentals regarding the topics of energy, handling measurement technology as well as communication and presentation techniques. With the knowledge acquired, projects are then implemented in their own company. Our junior staff have already successfully developed concepts for saving energy and preserving resources on two occasions. Our apprentices were honoured by the Federal Ministry for the Environment for this outstanding achievement.


Certified quality

In addition to ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment) certification, Dr. Hahn has been certified to ISO 50001 (energy management) since 2015 and systematically records the energy consumption of all energy sources. Dr. Hahn is thus planning and working towards climate neutrality.
