Climate and environmental protection
Our commitment to climate and environmental protection
Sustainability and environmental compatibility are becoming increasingly important to CFM Schiller in the development and manufacture of our products. We are more and more concentrating on the avoidance of so-called "substances of concern" in our products and are striving for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient product development.
The impact on the environment and human health associated with the preliminary stages of production, the production itself, distribution, use and disposal of our products is becoming increasingly important on the path to sustainable development.
At CFM, we set ourselves the goal back in 2018 of reducing the CO2 emissions caused by our engineering and administrative work and production facilities as much as possible.
We are continuously investing in new production facilities with low energy consumption and in energy-saving lighting. In addition, we have made extensive investments in the generation of electrical energy through photovoltaic systems and battery storage.
Our large 333 KWp photovoltaic system consists of 1074 monocrystalline Q.Cells - Q.PEAK high-performance modules with 310 W, 6 SMA TriPower Core 1 inverters and the SOLAR LOG management system and feeds our new 432 kWh TESVOLT battery storage system. This helps us to produce up to 68% of our annual electricity requirements in a CO2-neutral way. Our contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.
Furthermore, in 2023 we put a PV system with 86 KWp into operation to supply our cutting centre with electricity.
In 2025, a 99.8 KWp PV system with 215 KW storage was added, which leads to a high degree of self-sufficiency in our welding operation.
A total of 518.8 KWp of photovoltaic power and 647 kW of storage capacity are now installed.
ISO 14001:2015
In spring 2020, we introduced DIN EN ISO 14001 to the CFM Schiller company. This is the internationally recognized standard for environmental management and protection.
