Sustainability has long been a central component of Villiger's corporate philosophy. Our guiding principle, "For people and the environment," motivates us to act responsibly in the interests of successful and sustainable development. We take responsibility for our employees, our products and our environment – and actively shape a clean, liveable future.
Sustainable
economic success
Villiger is a sustainably successful Swiss family business with a high degree of independence and perseverance for long-term success. With our technological and ecological innovations, we supply internationally sought-after Green-Tech for environmentally friendly, efficient and citizen-oriented waste disposal. As a forward-thinking manufacturer, we pay attention to responsible supply chains, such as using sand from certified gravel pits for precast concrete elements. Overall, our products are very sustainable thanks to their long-lasting quality and their easily recyclable and sortable materials. Long-term, trusting customer relationships and active idea management that incorporates the opinions and ideas of our employees are the best prerequisites for continued success in the future.
Sustainably
ecological
At Villiger, we don’t just work to protect the environment, we do so in a sustainable and ecological manner. Sustainable waste disposal solutions such as the Quadromat underfloor system with integrated waste compactor reduce waste transport by up to 25%. As a fully electric waste collection vehicle, the Villiger Electric Waste Collector enables completely CO2-neutral recycling collection and container emptying. At our company, the Villiger modular system reduces the number of transport journeys required by manufacturing components in the countries of delivery. We promote zinc recovery through modular, bolt-together systems. Eco-steel improves the environmental balance by 70% energy savings and 85% CO2 savings compared to primary steel. And last but not least, the sun helps us to reduce CO2 emissions. With 475 kWp, our PV solar power plant supplies approximately the annual electricity requirements of 140 households.
Sustainable for people
Villiger works sustainably to create attractive living spaces. Our waste disposal systems make a decisive contribution to clean cityscapes and attractive residential areas. With contactless deposit columns, we guarantee hygiene and cleanliness. All systems are accessible for wheelchair users. Labelling in Braille is also available on request. Overall, the company’s top priority is “safety first” when it comes to the health and safety of users and our employees. We manage and monitor this continuously in accordance with ISO 45001. We promote the qualification and development of our employees through training and further education. Our support for sport and culture in the region and for social integration projects takes Villiger’s social commitment well beyond the company itself.
