Corporate sustainability at Remmers

In addition to existing photovoltaic systems at all production sites and a combined heat and power plant (CHP) plant at our headquarters in Löningen (Germany), we are currently in the process of further converting our energy infrastructure to renewable sources. Another more modern and energy-efficient CHP plant (360 kW) and a PV system with approximately 1.4 MW are currently being implemented.

In order to make our consumption transparent and uncover further potential for saving energy and thus also CO₂ emissions, a comprehensive energy data management system is currently being introduced at all three production sites.

Part of our company car fleet has already been converted to electric vehicles, and the appropriate charging infrastructure has been set up. In addition, the classic forklift trucks at our production sites are being continuously replaced by electronically powered vehicles. We have also invested in lighting in recent years and have largely switched to LED technology in our production and administrative areas.

We offer our employees attractive benefits so that they feel comfortable and valued in their workplace. Flexible and trust-based working hours as well as mobile work options ensure a good work-life balance. With a wide range of individually tailored training opportunities, we are also actively committed to creating a motivating and performance-enhancing work environment.

We offer young people the ideal start to their professional lives. With 10 apprenticeship programs, we cover a wide range of career opportunities. Our goal is to provide interesting, comprehensive, high-quality, and practical training. We have been recognised as a top training company by the IHK Oldenburg (Oldenburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce) and strive to continuously expand our high training standards. We are supported in this by dedicated trainers and training officers.

Cooperation with educational institutions:

We cooperate with all surrounding general and vocational schools to provide career guidance. We also work closely with colleges and universities, for example, by supporting students in the completion of their final theses. 

Since 1987, the fire brigade employed by Remmers GmbH has been a recognised part-time plant fire brigade. The costs of the plant fire brigade are born by the Remmers GmbH. Remmers employees are given time off for drills and operations. A tank fire engine and a hazardous materials trailer are available for hazard control. In addition, eight employees have been trained as company paramedics to provide advanced first aid.

Zero accident philosophy (Vision Zero):

Our goal is to completely prevent accidents and work-related illnesses. We achieve this through consistent risk assessment, regular safety trainings, targeted risk minimisation measures, and active reporting of near misses. Should an accident or emergency occur, our trained first aiders and evacuation assistants, as well as, since 2024, our eight company paramedics from the plant fire department, are on hand to provide first aid.

Prevention and health promotion:

We offer comprehensive health and prevention programs, including occupational health check-ups, ergonomic workplace design, and mental health services. Our company health management program, "Remmersfit," offers comprehensive health promotion measures, including regular health and fitness checks, nutritional counselling, prevention programs, discounted sports activities through participation in Hansefit, and sporting activities such as joint participation in running events.

We are the main sponsor and name giver of the "Remmers-Hasetal-Marathon", an annually held running event in Löningen.  We are proud to support this prestigious event, thereby promoting the local community and encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle. In addition, we support other social and cultural projects at our company locations.

We have been recognised as a top training company by the IHK Oldenburg (Oldenburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce) and strive to continuously expand our high training standards. We are supported in this by dedicated trainers and training officers. For the first time, Remmers received the certification in 2018, and in 2025, successfully completed a recertification. The award confirms that Remmers consistently meets high quality standards in all areas of vocational training and systematically develops its training processes. The renewed recognition was based on a comprehensive audit, in which all phases of the training were reviewed according to clearly defined criteria.
