Our vision

The protection of both the climate and biodiversity are two sides of the same coin

Our sector, i.e. the construction industry, and our products, i.e. buildings, are responsible for a significant proportion of climate-damaging emissions, resource consumption and waste generation across the globe. That’s nothing new for us: We’ve been monitoring this development since the early 1990s and documented it in our first environmental statement back in 1995. Other environmental statements have been published since then, every three years in fact, each time with a different emphasis, but always with the priority being the reduction of emissions, resource consumption and waste in everything we do.

At Hering, we are convinced that the economic success of our company must not be at the expense of the ability to regenerate the resources that we need in the short and long term for this success and thus for securing our continued existence.

Our sustainability mission statement comprises three essential pillars:

Our employees

We want to support our employees in their development with us, bind them to our company and continuously attract new employees. We want to be judged in these three areas of activity. We regularly redefine the content strategically and reflect on our work through the feedback of our employees.

Building materials and energy

We continuously reduce the consumption of natural resources in the development and construction of modular platforms and roofs, mobile noise barriers, thin façades made of textile concrete, mobile and durable toilet facilities. Our goal here is to completely avoid energy from fossil sources. For production and business operations this means: as little energy as possible, and whenever possible from renewable sources.

Region and environment

We are socially committed in our regions of South Westphalia as well as in Lusatia in order to maintain the attractiveness of the respective living environment for our current and future employees.
