Our
mission
Germany aims to be climate neutral by 2045. We think that’s too late – and we’re leading by example. As a company in an energy-intensive industry, we know we have a responsibility, and we’ve been taking it seriously for years. Join us on our journey.
Here, we share what drives us, explain our measures in detail, show you what we’ve already achieved and where we plan to go next.
Stay close as we move forward under the banner of Mission 8030. Future. Now!
Transformation.
As a process.
Together with our employees, we’re leading by example. Join us on our journey and see how exciting and worthwhile this kind of decision can be – for the region, the economy, society and the environment. The future won’t wait. It starts Now.”
Global crises continue to impact energy markets. Any dependence on these markets ties up valuable resources within a business. Free from these dependencies, companies can increase their efficiency and thus their profitability.
Self-generated renewable energy is both affordable and maintains a stable price – giving us a clear competitive edge through predictable, low-cost supply.
Sustainable products will play a very different role in the future. When choosing building materials, the carbon footprint will become an increasingly important factor. Companies that act early to reduce harmful emissions will gain a competitive advantage.
The energy market has become highly dynamic – resulting in uncertainty, but also opportunities. By generating renewable energy, we can move from the sidelines to become an active player in this evolving landscape.

- What exactly is the "8030. Future. Now." initiative?
We understand the responsibility that energy-intensive industries like ours carry. Those who continue to rely on finite, combustible energy sources have likely missed both the urgency of the moment and the vast potential of an energy transformation towards alternative, sustainable solutions. This isn’t about politics – it’s about facts. By generating our own renewable energy, we reduce our dependence on external suppliers, actively cut operating costs, secure the future of our company and our employees, and open up new areas of business along the way.
- Why is the transformation so important for Schlamann?
Because we recognise that the energy transition – and sustainability goals in general – can’t be achieved by government plans alone. Every company has a responsibility, and we’re ready to shoulder ours. We are doing so with conviction and the confidence that it’s the right path forward.
- What specific goals is Schlamann pursuing with the programme?
On the one hand, we recognise our environmental responsibility – to society and to future generations. But the economic benefits and resulting competitive edge are just as important. This way, we remain an attractive employer and building materials supplier AND make a meaningful contribution to the environment.
- What is Schlamann actually doing?
When it comes to sustainability, we’re not here to watch from the sidelines – we’re getting stuck in. Over the coming years, we’re investing a high six-figure sum in expanding our wind and solar energy capacity. We’re also putting serious effort into energy storage, upgrading our vehicle fleet and electrifying the steam generation process used in production.

Diversity.
