Sustainability at Spiess Chemicals:
Responsibility for people and the environment.
Like our parent company GECHEM we invest a great deal of money in organizing the production and marketing of speciality chemicals in a way that is as sustainable as possible. To us, sustainability has a social and an ecological aspect.
Accepting responsibility for the region
As a company that has its roots in the region we feel socially responsible for the people who live in the Vorderpfalz region: We offer secure jobs to the local population, provide secure pay and offer our employees good prospects for a secure future.
Together with GECHEM we also regularly support social organisations and do everything we can for the people who live here.
Green chemistry: For greater ecological sustainability
Over the past few years, we have invested as much money as possible to be able, as a company, to actively support the protection of our environment and our climate.
We use green electricity for our production process
At Spiess Chemicals we decided to only use electricity from sustainable energy sources for our production process – and by doing so reduce our carbon footprint.
Own photovoltaics system with large storage facility
Together with GECHEM we have installed a large photovoltaics system covering 8500 square meters in total. It helps us produce a large part of the electricity that we need for our production process ourselves.
Electric vehicle fleet
To make our contribution to a successful transition to more climate-friendly forms of transportation, all our forklift trucks and conveyor vehicles are electric. We have furthermore installed several charging stations for electric cars on our site. Our company cars are also either electric vehicles or hybrids.
Measures to protect the environment
Since, among other things, we also handle hazardous substances, we have introduced many safety measures such as, for example, coated collection tanks. This way we can always be one hundred percent sure that our groundwater and the environment are not polluted.
Since, the Eckbach flows under our company premises it is, to us, a matter of course to ensure that this body of water is and always will be well protected.
