We take responsibility

As a manufacturer of fire-fighting equipment, our business activities have always been closely linked to environmental and social issues. In accordance with the ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles set out in our Supplier Code of Conduct, we strive to act responsibly – towards our employees, our customers, society and the environment. Our business processes are based on transparency, integrity and fairness.

With our products, we provide safety for people, buildings, facilities and equipment. We also guarantee safety for our employees – through a safe and humane working environment and health-promoting measures.

As a manufacturing company, the responsible use of natural resources is a matter of course for us. We develop sustainable product concepts that provide long-term safety. This is only natural for us, because ultimately, fire protection is environmental protection: fires release significant amounts of CO2, particularly when organic materials such as wood, plastics or fossil fuels are burned. So, by extinguishing fires quickly and efficiently, we help to reduce CO2 emissions.

Environment

• Certified to ISO 14001
• Support for regional environmental projects
• Fire safety is environmental protection: our products ensure the safety of people, buildings, facilities, equipment and ecosystems.
• Sustainable fleet management with a high proportion of electric vehicles
• We help to ensure that fewer environmentally harmful chemicals are released into the environment. Our fire-fighting technology is optimised for the use of high-viscosity, fluorine-free foaming agents. Our proportioning systems are purely mechanically operated and require no external energy. Furthermore, they allow the proportioning rate to be tested without producing premix or environmentally harmful fire-fighting foam

Social

• We are committed to equality, tolerance and diversity.
• We promote programmes for physical and mental health
• Support for social projects in the region
• We offer ‘family start-up leave’.
• We pay fair wages in line with industry and regional standards.
• Our employees’ interests are represented by a works council.
• Respect for human rights and the creation of dignified, fair and safe working conditions are our top priorities.

Corporate Governance

• Active participation is fostered through a cooperative management style
• Our business conduct is based on ethical principles, takes a long-term view and is characterised by transparency, integrity and fairness.
• FireDos supports fundamental democratic values and freedom of political opinion.
• Use of whistleblower software for the (anonymous) reporting of unethical behaviour or illegal conduct
• We have established a Supplier Code of Conduct based on our values and our Code of Conduct.
• The anti-corruption principle applies to all employees.
• FireDos takes data protection fully into account in accordance with applicable laws and guidelines, in particular the GDPR. 

• Reducing our carbon footprint: By 2030, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint by 10% annually, based on our 2019 figures, despite continued growth. 
• Gradual conversion of all company cars to electric vehicles
• Continuous expansion of our own electricity generation through solar power. 

How big is the carbon footprint of a proportioner?

Louisa explored this question in her master’s thesis at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences – and has presented her findings.
