Corporate Social Responsibility
Ongoing Commitment to Sustainability
Building a safe future means living sustainability in every aspect of our lives. Today and tomorrow. We are committed to sustainability not only as individuals but also as employers.
We at Berlinger are surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Toggenburg and want to preserve it for future generations.
CERTIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Continous improvement for a sustainable future
Berlinger has ambitious sustainability goals and has therefore developed an environmental management system (EMS). In April 2013, our EMS was certified according to ISO 14001 and could thus be integrated into our existing QM system. With SmartSystem the sustainability goals are at the center of Berlinger's innovation and system design process.

SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN
Improvement of logistic processes
With more than 170 customers worldwide, we are part of a global supply chain that is becoming increasingly complex. It is, therefore, our objective to continue optimizing the logistical processes. As a result, we successfully consolidate our shipments and recycle packaging material in the production.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUILDING
Lower emissions
- Ice-heating
The clever ice-heating system in our building doesn't use gas for the heating process, but uses the extracted energy to heat up the interior in winter and cool it down in summer. In 2019, we achieved seven times fewer CO2 emissions. - No pesticide in use
Berlinger does not use any pesticides to maintain the greenfields on the company premises.
Sustainable product design
Reuse, reduce, recycle
A clever product design is the key to produce sustainable solutions for our customers. We focused on three key initiatives in our monitoring solutions to create more sustainable products: 1. Multiple use, 2. Extra light devices, 3. Recycle.
