Sustainable protection of environment and climate

HiPP has been able to reduce CO2 emissions by around 90% in the last 14 years through the consistent use of renewable energies. Compared to the year 2000, approx. 14,000 tons more CO2 were saved in 2014. To bind this amount of CO2, a forest area the size of approx. 5000 soccer fields would be required.

We use less packaging material. Thinner film coatings and lighter HiPP glasses bring considerable savings. Each packaging must be more environmentally friendly than the previous packaging.

Our heat has been coming from the Pfaffenhofen biomass cogeneration plant since 2001. That and the full thermal insulation on the buildings save us 8344 tons of CO2 annually.

We get 100% of our electricity from the renewable source of hydropower. The saving effect is 3978 tons of CO2 annually. We consistently do without nuclear power.

We have reduced the water consumption per ton of production by approx. 70% - from 22.8 m3 (1971) to 8.5 m3 (2014).

We consistently use resource-saving recycled paper for office, advertising material and packaging. 97% of our waste is recycled.

The weight reduction of the packaging material of 5,300 t per year means 265 fewer truck loads. Fewer resources are used and fewer emissions are released.

HiPP offers employees the incentive to switch to environmentally friendly means of transport. Anyone traveling to work by public transport or by bike will be reimbursed for their travel costs or mileage allowance. An ecological travel allowance is intended to motivate drivers to switch to other modes of transport. In addition, HiPP regularly offers fuel-saving programs.
