TÜV SÜD ISO 14001

Certification according to ISO 14001 by TÜV SÜD confirms our effective environmental management system and our structured approach to continuous improvement of environmental performance.

Environmental – Responsibility for Environment & Resources

We develop technologies that, when used by our customers, measurably increase energy, water, and resource efficiency, thus driving a sustainable industry.

Our production runs on 100% green electricity, supplemented by our own photovoltaic capacity, and we are systematically reducing our use of fossil fuels.

An established environmental management system strengthens circular processes, minimizes waste, and transforms our sites into green, resource-conserving production environments.

Furthermore, RENA supplies a significant portion of its products to the "Green Energy" sector.

This means that we not only want our own actions to be environmentally responsible, but also that we want our products to make a significant contribution to the global transformation towards a responsible approach to the environment.

Social – Responsibility for People and Society

We create a safe, respectful, and inclusive work environment where people can thrive.

Continuing education, diversity, and equal opportunities are firmly anchored in our corporate culture.

With sustainable mobility—from our electric vehicle fleet to company bikes—and regional engagement, we assume social responsibility beyond our company.

Governance – Responsibility Through Transparency & Integrity

Integrity, reliability, and transparent decision-making processes form the foundation of our actions.

At RENA, sustainability is not an isolated project, but a strategic principle that is practiced in all business areas, internally, with customers and suppliers, and with all business partners.

Our ESG performance, ratings, and guidelines are publicly accessible and demonstrate our commitment to responsible and future-oriented business practices.
