Because every movement counts
As a globally operating industrial company, we bear responsibility towards the environment, our employees and future generations. Protecting our ecological habitat has been a central concern of the Lödige family for generations. Manufacturing our machines and systems is energy-intensive, which makes it all the more important to keep the impact as low as possible. Today, renewable energy already covers 100% of the electricity demand at our Scherfede production site, 88% of it from our own generation.
Lödige - Sustainability Highlights
Our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
As a provider of material flow solutions, we align ourselves with several of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, including clean energy and fair working conditions. With our company-owned photovoltaic system and hydroelectric power plant, for example, we contribute to the expansion of renewable energies.
By using energy-efficient drive systems, intelligent control systems, and our own power and water supply facilities, including a photovoltaic system and a company-owned waterworks, we promote the economical use of resources and the expansion of clean energy.
Our production logistics enable ergonomic working conditions that avoid physically demanding activities such as heavy lifting, thereby actively promoting occupational safety. In addition, we invest specifically in the further training of our employees in order to promote sustainable and inclusive employment.
By developing innovative and digitized infrastructure solutions, we are strengthening sustainable industry and urban logistics.
Our products, such as car parking systems and airport logistics solutions, support sustainable urban development through efficient use of space and modern mobility concepts.
We focus on durable, modular systems and resource-efficient production. The targeted replacement of individual parts also supports a genuine circular economy.
Our systems are designed to enable particularly efficient processes, which reduces energy consumption and thus lowers emissions. In addition, our remote service offerings actively contribute to minimizing CO₂ emissions by eliminating the need for many on-site visits. Furthermore, our space-saving solutions enable projects that specifically serve to protect water resources.
Double materiality analysis
As part of our sustainability strategy, we conducted a double materiality analysis in accordance with the ESRS standard. This involved systematically assessing both financial materiality (the impact of sustainability topics on our company) and impact materiality (our impact on the environment, society and the economy) in order to identify material risks and opportunities as well as the expectations of our stakeholders, derive priorities and strategically manage our sustainability goals.
Sustainability Organisation
At the beginning of 2023, Lödige Industries established a sustainability department under the responsibility of Nico Just to actively drive the development and group-wide anchoring of a sustainability strategy. The sustainability department is in regular, close contact with the relevant specialist departments and reports directly to top management. Since 2026, Glen Fraser Bell has been supporting the sustainability controlling area.
In addition to systematically embedding sustainability in our processes, products and everyday work, we are also dedicated to establishing group-wide sustainability reporting to promote transparency and the targeted management of sustainability-related measures.
