Sustainability at J.Führ
Living responsibility,
Shaping the future
Our Mission
Responsibility for people and the environment
For us at J.Führ, sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a core principle. It permeates every decision, every project, and every step we take as a company. From climate protection measures and the promotion of diversity to the establishment of fair standards in the supply chain – we bear responsibility for people, the environment, and the economy.
With the goal of becoming climate neutral by 2035, we have already implemented a series of concrete measures that pave the way for a sustainable future.
Our progress in 2025
Our environmental management measures achieved visible progress in 2025:
- Increased energy efficiency: Through consistent efficiency measures – particularly LED retrofitting and optimized IT processes – total energy consumption was reduced by approximately 28% compared to the previous year. This allowed us to significantly lower energy use without restricting business operations.
- Targeted reduction of CO₂ emissions: Improved energy efficiency led to a reduction of energy-related CO₂ emissions by around 15% year over year. At the same time, indirect emissions from purchasing and logistics were systematically recorded for the first time in 2025 – an important step toward a transparent and manageable CO₂ footprint on our path to climate neutrality by 2035.
- Sustainable packaging: Through process optimization and increased reuse of cardboard packaging, packaging waste was reduced by approximately 36% in 2025. The expansion of reusable packaging solutions continues, with the goal of further increasing reuse rates.
- Renewable energies: The share of renewable energies remains constant at 100%, which contributes to the reduction of the CO2footprint.
These figures prove that we are on the right track to achieving our environmental goals – with measurable successes and a clear focus on the future.
Diversity and Equal opportunities: Sustainability starts with people
A sustainable future is inconceivable without people. That is why we attach great importance to a corporate culture that promotes diversity, equality, and inclusion. Our key focus areas include:
- 51 % international employees: Our workforce benefits from a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds.
- Gender equality: Women represent 62% of our workforce and 33% of leadership positions. Our goal is to reach 40% women in leadership roles by 2026.
- Flexibility and work-life balance: Flexible working time models and part-time options support equal participation across all roles. From 2026, a pilot program introducing a 37.5-hour workweek will further enhance our approach to sustainable work models.
For us, diversity, fairness and reliability are not an end in themselves, but rather the basis for a working environment in which everyone can flourish—regardless of their origin, gender, or life situation. Because only together can we grow as a company and as a team.
Responsibility along the Supply Chain
Sustainability does not stop at our door. As a distributor of vehicle lighting and mounting solutions, we take responsibility across the entire supply chain – from the selection of our partners to long-term collaboration.
Our approach:
- Clear standards: Our suppliers commit to defined quality, environmental and social standards based on our Code of Conduct.
- Focused selection: In 2025, all relevant suppliers were reviewed and our supplier base was deliberately streamlined to implement sustainability requirements more effectively.
- Partnership over volume: By working with a reduced number of partners, we achieve greater transparency, improved manageability and more intensive collaboration.
We view sustainable supply chains as a long-term process. That is why we rely on trust, open dialogue and continuous joint development.
