Sustainability overview
Sustainability is not just a mere concept for us; it is deeply ingrained in everything we do. With passion, we develop green solutions for the construction industry and strive to optimise our use of resources and reduce our carbon footprint. This includes choosing sustainable materials and implementing energy efficient processes.
As part of our Integrated Management Systems (IMS), we capture all significant environmental aspects of the business regarding our activities, products and services. This enables us to consider the associated environmental impacts at every stage of the building lifecycle – in terms of quality, occupational safety, health and energy. This strategic approach is embedded in our own environmental policy.
- With a strong environmental consciousness, we ensure a certain degree of dynamism.
- We take care of our resources and increasingly use RC materials in our products.
- We create as little waste as possible and recycle it.
- We focus on green energy and high efficiency.
- We reduce greenhouse gas emissions and process emissions.
- Use minimize water consumption.
- We eliminate hazardous substances.
- Our products are energy-efficient, resource-friendly, carbon-neutral and recyclable.
- We use minimal packaging for our products and rely on plastic-free packaging materials.
Green Building / Circular Construction Building the Future
Our actions today determine our future – which is why climate-friendly building, sustainable living and the principle of a circular economy are more important now than ever before. Since the 90s, Lindner has promoted sustainable building through product development, production, and on-site project management. Sustainability has always played a key role in our company. In 2007, we co-founded the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and, a year later, established an internal department for Green Building.
International Expert for Green Solutions
With the help of Green Building concepts, Lindner has since taken on more than 500 projects worldwide and successfully implemented them within the framework of a building certification. Lindner relies on future-proof, flexible system products and project solutions that convince with resource conservation, quality and investment security: We have become one of the leading specialists for sustainable building – and would be delighted to assist you in your green building project.
Lindners Green Building Statement
For us, implementing projects in a sustainable manner means to act ecologically, socially and economically: Only in this way can we, as a manufacturer of building products and construction specialist, realise sustainable ideas for our customers. We are not only interested in the goals set for your building project and the most common building certifications: We are not only interested in the goals of your building project and the most common building certifications, but also in:
- minimising the consumption of energy and resources as well as the impact on people and nature thanks to quality, energy and environmental management,
- avoiding waste by implementing the Circular Economy concept in project development.
For a sustainable Future
As a product supplier and full-service provider, we convince you with our extensive portfolio of products and services and support you in every phase of your building project, from the determination of requirements to (digital) documentation – whether new buildings or Renovations:
- forward-looking product design in line with the Cradle to Cradle principle, a wide range of system products, certified according to Cradle to Cradle Certified® product standard
- More security and scope for design by means of "renting" and "purchase and return"
- from Green Building Management to Building Certification
- Environmental Product Declarations provide information on environmental impacts, emissions, recycling rates and possible reuse or recycling of products and materials
- Detailed product information and documentation with the help of digital tools such as "digital twin", digital inventory documentation, Material Papers and Product Databases as a basis for urban mining and closed material cycles in construction practice
"Knowing where we stand."
With our actions, we are taking another step towards a green, climate-neutral. An important aspect here is the striving for a closed material cycle – in line with the idea of the circular economy: This also includes the reprocessing of used products into new systems, as in the case of our raised floors LOOP prime and LOOP aurum.
- extension of the utilisation phase or reuse of used products
- separation by type at the end of the service life
- avoidance of waste, toxic substances and environmental pollution
- complete recycling of all materials
The "Cradle-to-Cradle" Concept
Meeting tomorrow's requirements today thanks to Green Building Standards and Cradle to Cradle® Certified product certification: Lindner has been paying attention to the use of ecologically safe raw materials, the use of renewable energies and closed material cycles or recycling in production for years. This can be seen, for example, in our Nortec Aurum and Loop Aurum raised access floor panels and LMD Aurum Metal Ceilings, which have been certified in C2C Certified® Gold since the beginning of 2022 as the first floor and ceiling systems worldwide. The Plafotherm® heated and chilled ceilings and Lindner Life glass partitions are classified as Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver. Besides C2C Certified®, many of our products are also LEED or BREEAM compliant.
