Our statement
Kässbohrer's commitment to sustainability
What we are doing today will shape the world of tomorrow. This is why we at Kässbohrer are concerned with more than just providing high-quality and cost-effective products. The products must also feature outstanding sustainability. And one thing is for certain – sustainability means much more than saving fuel. All departments of the company are consistently striving for optimization of the use of resources. Kässbohrer underscores this dedication with its new label, "Our statement for more sustainability."
In this respect, products such as SNOWsat and the PRO ACADEMY are taking on increasingly important roles. For instance, SNOWsat features several solutions that reduce snowmaking, which in turn cuts down on energy consumption tremendously. This optimizes workflows, reduces the labor for maintenance while also allowing resources to be used more efficiently here.
Another example is the PRO ACADEMY: It provides individual support in the qualification of employees, paving the way for efficient and sustainable slope grooming. It optimizes processes and structures and thus fully utilizes the existing potential.
Sustainability is also practiced at our plant in Laupheim. Examples include solar power, having several local suppliers and waste reduction concepts.
Whether it's about clean technology, efficient processes or operations that cut down on resources: Kässbohrer is making it happen – every day! A clear statement for – and commitment to – more sustainability.
To make sure we are set up for a sustainable future, our BLUE IQ corporate strategy integrates technological innovations into comprehensive economical, ecological and social concepts. This is the only way to create a portfolio with products that are matched to ech other in ways that make sense.
