SUSTAINABILITY

In order to be able to call oneself a climate protection company, demanding admission criteria must be met in relation to energy efficiency and climate protection.

SchwörerHaus has also been a member of the climate protection companies since 2011. It is an Initiative of Excellence of the Federal Government and the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce Day (DIHK). SchwörerHaus was included in the group of climate protection companies as a manufacturer of green electricity through the biomass cogeneration plant, through the responsible handling of resources and innovative products such as the energy-saving houses with a self-developed ventilation system with heat recovery.

As their ambassadors, we support an appropriate and future-oriented handling with limited resources, the environment and the living space of future generations. These resource-conserving measures must be constantly proven as they are regularly analysed and checked. The special feature is that SchwörerHaus is the only member among the 34 climate protection companies from this industry.

SchwörerHolz works together with partners from the region according to the principle of "wood of short distances". Only a few trunks cover more than 60 kilometres between the place where they are felled and the Schwörer timber sawmill. This saves unnecessary transport, lowers carbon dioxide emissions and strengthens the economic power of the region.

Social sustainability is also a key success factor for SchwörerHaus, which is why we invest intensively in the apprenticeship. As one of the largest, location-loyal employers on the Swabian Alb, SchwörerHaus offers the young generation apprenticeships in almost all jobs in the construction and timber sectors. More than 80 trainees are currently learning 16 different jobs, the majority of them are traditionally taken over.
