RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR RESOURCES
Resources are finite. This is why sustainability is such a major priority for AUNDE Group.
For us, economic success also means accepting responsibility by finding sustainable solutions and protecting our environment. We want to help improve everyone’s quality of life while at the same time reduce our use of resources and emissions. We see sustainable management as a shared social responsibility. This means that we are not only concerned about reducing our ecological footprint as a company, but rather our goal is to convince our partners to play their part in improving sustainability.

Certification for more sustainable business practices
Pioneer in the automotive supply industry
The topic of sustainability has been a high priority at the AUNDE Group for years. Further strengthening climate awareness and promoting sustainable development is anchored in our strategy. AUNDE stands for this orientation and is committed to further expanding it in the future. TÜV Rheinland has successfully certified the AUNDE Group and AUNDE Achter & Ebels Mönchengladbach according to the standard of the ZNU - Center for Sustainable Leadership at Witten/Herdecke University - for sustainable management. The ZNU standard is the first holistic management system standard that covers and certifies the areas of sustainable corporate management, environment, economy and social issues. The sustainability measures already implemented as well as further steps towards greater sustainability over the next three years were assessed and evaluated.
