We care about environmental protection. Here again, we naturally see this responsibility as the big picture, shown in the way that environmental protection measures play an important role and are implemented accordingly across all business areas and processes in all of our locations. Only in this way can we make an active contribution to protecting the environment.
We, at SEW-EURODRIVE are committed to protecting the environment and to using natural resources sparingly. Comprehensive environmental protection is an objective at SEW-EURODRIVE that is just as important as high product quality and efficient health and safety at work in terms of safeguarding the future of the company and its workplaces.
Energy-Saving also by Products and Solutions
Sustained environmental protection at SEW-EURODRIVE is not only reflected in the advanced design of production plants, ecologically-minded attitudes and sparing use of resources – it also has a major impact on product development.

SEW-EURODRIVE is a “Green” Company
Particular attention is also paid at SEW-EURODRIVE to the ecological sustainability of buildings. An excellent example of this is the ultramodern assembly plant, which opened in February, 2009 in Chennai in southern India. It was built in line with the global philosophy at SEW-EURODRIVE to set environmental standards for new investments.
In times of scarce raw materials and increasing CO2 pollution of the atmosphere, particular importance is placed on the efficient handling of valuable resources and a balanced environmental audit. Both demands are met by the new industrial gear unit plant from SEW-EURODRIVE at the German location Bruchsal, which should holistically reduce environmental pollution.
SEW-EURODRIVE is also building in a sustainable way in other locations. With the investments in new plants and buildings, SEW-EURODRIVE is creating a new standard for innovation, process optimization and value-adding excellence with the permanent goal of being better than the competition. This is also true in matters regarding sustainability. After all, as a leader in the field, we are also striving for a leading position in sustainability.
