Set the right focus.
We focus on the economic components of sustainability because we are convinced that only the balance of economy, ecology and social issues can lead to long-term success.
Our sustainability strategy
In the sustainability goals and measures we have formulated, we want to ensure that Topstar continues to make progress on its chosen path as a responsible company.
We are aware that our products have not only positive but also negative environmental and social impacts on our stakeholders along the value chain. We have been able to identify these stakeholders and the mutual influences in detailed analyses. We have set ourselves the goal of improving the sustainability performance of all our activities and the respective stakeholders in the long term and, above all, sustainably.
Through regular contact, personal supplier visits and audits, the progress of these measures is evaluated, the information structure is expanded and adjustments are made. At the same time, we motivate our
stakeholders to contribute to our sustainability activities by suggesting product and process optimisations and material substitutions. This enables us to incorporate numerous experiences from different sectors into our activities and positively influence the results of our measures.
Product responsibility
From the initial idea to the series production of a product, the demand for a long and sustainable product life is equally focussed on ergonomic and design issues. The very fact that we manufacture our chairs for an above-average product service life is in line with the concept of sustainability. In addition, our products are produced using the resource-saving ‘modular principle’. This enables individual components to be replaced quickly and easily in the event of wear or repairs. The modular system can also be used at any time to realise changes in product requirements or an expansion of the product range in a resource-saving manner.
Climate & Resources
Due to climate change and dwindling resources, we are faced with the challenge of organising production in a way that conserves resources. In order to fulfil the complex requirements of our ecological responsibility
we define environmental standards and minimum requirements in the area of environmental management. We are certified in accordance with the internationally recognised ISO 14001 standard and are a member of EcoVadis.
We want to produce durable, environmentally friendly and high-quality furniture. All these values can be found under our roof.
Work & Future
As a family-owned company, we feel particularly committed to our employees. We have been able to meet the challenges of recent years as a team. We consider our employees to be a key success factor for our company. We believe in respect and individual development opportunities. We take a clear stance against discrimination based on ethnic origin, skin colour, language, gender, religion or sexual orientation, for example. Our personnel decisions are based on qualifications, performance records and skills that are necessary for the relevant task and business environment.
The statutory occupational health and safety requirements are only minimum requirements for us. Our aim is to provide every employee with a job that is adapted to their respective activities and individual needs.
individual needs. Not only since the shortage of skilled labour in Germany have we focused on training and developing our junior staff ourselves. Topstar GmbH is convinced that competent, self-confident and motivated employees are the key to success.
