“This award confirms our commitment to a sustainable future,” says Andreas Engelhardt, personally liable partner at Schüco International KG. “For us, it is both motivation and obligation to continue to drive forward our sustainability goals with innovative strength and passion.”
Schüco International KG is one of the leading players in the sustainable transformation of the construction industry. An independent jury of around 240 experts from science, business, and civil society honored the company in the “Construction Industry Companies” category. The decision was based on a comprehensive analysis of publicly available sustainability data.
An important player in the circular economy
Schüco has been publishing regular sustainability reports since 2017, thereby creating transparency about its activities. The company sets standards, particularly with its aluminum and PVC-U system solutions: with the introduction of low-carbon material classes, Schüco offers products with a carbon footprint that is more than 70 percent below the European average.
A take-back offer ensures that end-of-life products are returned to the recycling cycle. Over 95 cradle-to-cradle-certified aluminum systems underscore Schüco's leading role in circular construction. The company thus demonstrates that sustainability and economic activity can go hand in hand in the skilled trades.
A holistic approach to building the future
From planning and construction to demolition and recycling, Schüco supports construction projects throughout the entire life cycle of a building. With this holistic approach, the manufacturer offers practical solutions that also benefit specialist companies in metal, window, and facade construction.
