Schubert proves its deeply rooted commitment to climate protection
“We are aware of the responsibility that the Paris climate protection agreement entails. This is why we are driving forward not only the economic but also the sustainable development of the Schubert Group,” explains Ralf Schubert, Managing Partner of Gerhard Schubert GmbH. Vision 2050 is another key element of this endeavour: Schubert as an entire group of companies strives to act in a way that is fair to future generations and make a significant contribution to a more sustainable living and product world for everyone. Specific sustainability goals are being pursued in four fields of action: 1. Sustainable corporate governance, 2. Climate-neutral production, 3. Environmentally friendly machines and services, and 4. Sustainable packaging. Within these key areas, many large and small measures contribute to the ESG criteria of Environment, Social and Governance. The company is also committed to UNESCO’s global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The new building project brings design and assembly even closer together, as shown by the direct view into the hall.

With innovative technologies such as Dotlock, Schubert aims to offer its customers more environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

Cardboard packaging with Dotlock requires no glue and thereby also reduces the packaging machine’s energy consumption.

Family-friendly workplaces are a priority for Schubert, which is why the Schubert KinderCampus company daycare centre, which is currently being renovated, will open in 2025.
Modern, family-friendly work concepts
To further improve the company’s employee-friendly approach, Gerhard Schubert GmbH is taking part in the Great Place to Work consulting institute’s programme and has launched a regular employee survey in 2023. Highlights of the results: Just under 70 per cent of those surveyed are completely satisfied with their workplace. “A good number, but one that we would like to increase,” adds Managing Director Peter Gabriel. This is why managers are now also being given more support and their skills strengthened, including by means of mandatory guidelines, regular dialogue and coaching. Other activities relate to the introduction of compliance regulations and the expansion of preventative health measures for the workforce.
The measures and results for 2023 were presented to the public for the first time at the Schubert Days event at the headquarters in Crailsheim at the beginning of June. With the launch of the new series of events for customers and the press, Schubert is opening up an industry platform for extensive dialogue on current global challenges.
