Die REMONDIS-Welt der Nachhaltigkeit
REMONDIS' World of Sustainability
De REMONDIS-wereld van de duurzaamheid
The whole notion of sustainability will be a lost cause unless we take action here and now to conserve our planet's natural resources. Future generations and today's developing countries will only be able to enjoy prosperous lives if steps are taken right now to counteract the growing shortages of raw materials. For us – being one of the world's leading recycling, service and water companies – there can be only one goal: to tackle this problem and lead by example. Why not join us on this path?!
Everyone agrees that global warming must be limited to 2°C – or preferably 1.5°C – if we wish to prevent our ecosystem from being irreparably damaged. Large areas of woodland in Germany are dying as the country suffers ever longer periods of drought. Pussyfooting around is not going to stop climate change. Some major action needs to be taken. And not just switching from fossil fuels to renewables but from virgin to recycled raw materials as well. We are showing how this can be done.
The Lippe Plant in Lünen is not only a high tech site, it is also an important project for combatting global warming. The various activities carried out at the site help to cut carbon emissions by 488,000t every single year. For a forest to have the same effect, it would need to contain 37 million trees. Certainly a lovely place to take a walk in but perhaps not an ideal place for creating 1,400 jobs.
People searching for an argument in favour of plastics recycling need look no further than at our seas and oceans. Vast areas of waste are floating around in them and are so big that they can even be seen from space. This problem, however, can only be solved on Earth – with more responsible consumer behaviour and systematic plastics recycling.
Talking the talk but not walking the walk? Not at REMONDIS. It goes without saying that our all-encompassing view of sustainability also includes us being sustainable ourselves. This covers all aspects of our business – from the energy efficiency levels of our head office buildings, all the way through to ensuring that all our locations adhere to our high social standards, no matter where in the world they may be.
Every company tries to make a profit. And things are no different at REMONDIS either. For us, however, money is always a means to a good end – which is why a large part of the profits we make is invested in developing new and innovative recycling processes and technologies. Helping to preserve our planet’s valuable natural resources.
Sustainability is not a state or a condition but an ongoing process. First and foremost, sustainability is team work. Which is why we cooperate closely with experts and research institutes that also feel strongly about conserving our planet’s natural resources and preventing climate change. Such work always leads to new approaches and innovations.
Wherever we see an opportunity to drive forward the notion of sustainability and to fix it even more firmly in the minds of people, then we are there, full of passion and enthusiasm for the cause. This covers a whole range of activities – from educational projects, to acting as advisers, to supporting universities.
Everyone is talking about the scarcity of raw materials and about sustainability. But what exactly is behind it all? We decided to do some research to find out what it’s all about – so that we could put together some pages with the most important background information for you to read.
REMONDIS has a global workforce of over 30,000 people. People who work in a whole range of professions and yet who all have one common goal: to conserve our planet's raw materials and protect our environment. Both these factors are extremely important in today's world of work, where increasingly people are looking for jobs that reflect their lifestyles – evaluating them according to criteria such as sustainability and meaningfulness. Not only are our operations themselves meaningful but also the actual manner in which we work. Our focus is on creating flat hierarchies, high levels of responsibility and great opportunities for our employees to carve out an attractive career for themselves as well as on offering our staff ongoing further training courses and the opportunity to take part in our international management trainee programmes.
Work is not a privilege but should be available to everyone irrespective of their level of education or social background. This has been one of REMONDIS' guiding principles since its foundation over 80 years ago. Highly qualified managers can find a job at our company as can workers with few or no qualifications, who may otherwise have problems getting a foothold on the job market. Our aim is to strengthen social equilibrium and promote social cohesion.

Well aware of our international responsibilities, we also invest in companies and regions that, at first glance, may not seem to be profitable. This is where we benefit, for example, from our innovative strength. It enables us to increase the profitability of a business – even a business that had previously been classified as critical – and so secure the jobs of those working there and even create new jobs. We are able to contribute towards improving living conditions and establishing environmental standards in different regions around the world. Examples here include our plastics recycling facilities in Taiwan and our water management operations in India, all of which are run strictly in line with REMONDIS' standards.
Sustainability within our company itself doesn't have just one but a whole host of faces. Over 1,100 apprentices work at REMONDIS every single year. Not only the quantity but – and above all – the quality of our apprenticeships is impressive as we guarantee that the same high standards of vocational training are reached across the whole of our group. Admittedly, we are not being completely altruistic here – as today's apprentices are tomorrow's managers. REMONDIS offers over three dozen apprenticeship courses – from training to become a roofer, all the way through to qualifying as an IT specialist. Moreover, we also offer higher level apprenticeships, where our apprentices not only gain their vocational qualifications but also study part time at university to receive a BSc in Business Information Technology or a BA in Business Administration.
EURAWASSER Nord – a REMONDIS Group company – has been presented with the Chamber of Commerce's “Top Training Company“ (Top-Ausbildungsbetrieb) award seven times
It has now become a tradition for the Lippe Plant in Lünen to take part in the annual “Lünen Apprenticeship Evening” (“Nacht der Ausbildung”). This event enables young people to visit local companies and find out more about the apprenticeship courses they have on offer
Being one of the world’s leading recycling, service and water businesses with over 30,000 employees, everything we do revolves around sustainability. We ensure that the environment is protected and that natural resources are conserved in over 30 countries across four continents.
