Hohenstein publishes Sustainability Report 2024

BÖNNIGHEIM (msc) Responsible action is one of the most defining values of the testing and research service provider Hohenstein. The Sustainability Report 2024 provides transparency through information on documented progress and offers detailed insights into how sustainability is embedded in the company. It covers both the existing sustainability measures at the headquarters in Bönnigheim and the family-owned company's goals for 2025 and beyond. The direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) of all locations worldwide were recorded for the first time.

Hohenstein sees ecological, social and economic sustainability as success factors for the future and has implemented important points in this regard over the past year:

• Environment (Environmental): In 2024 - in addition to a new combined heat and power plant - the photovoltaic system was put into operation at the Bönnigheim site. An environmental team and the newly appointed environmental officer are supporting the introduction of the environmental management system in accordance with EMAS. Future reduction targets and measures will be developed based on the greenhouse gas emissions recorded comprehensively for the first time.
• Social: Through support, training and transparent exchange, Hohenstein is working to implement respectful cooperation with all national and international employees. We also continue to focus on achieving a good work-life balance. An internal satisfaction survey shows that 85% of employees are very satisfied or satisfied with Hohenstein as an employer. Most of the measures that employees suggested as improvements in the survey have been implemented.
• Corporate governance: Hohenstein management creates a motivating work environment by promoting autonomy, importance and expertise. Regular colloquia and HR consultations were expanded to include additional formats for communicating with management in order to intensify the exchange. The Sustainable Development team was expanded.
