Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility at Praxisdienst

Committed to sustainability, fair working conditions and responsible supply chains.

Why We Take Responsibility

As an owner-managed company with over 65 years of experience, we believe in long-term thinking, sustainable growth and responsible business practices. Social responsibility is an integral part of how we operate and shapes the way we work.

Our daily work is guided by clear values: respect, fairness and sustainability. We put these values into practice in our relationships with customers, employees, suppliers and the wider community.

We believe that economic success and social responsibility go hand in hand. That is why we focus on sustainable processes, fair working conditions and transparent partnerships across our operations.

Our goal is simple: to be a reliable partner today and in the future.

Taking Responsibility – Today and Tomorrow

Environment

We focus on conserving resources, improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions to minimise our environmental impact.

Employees

Fair working conditions, diversity and a culture of respect are at the heart of our workplace. They provide the foundation for employee motivation, well-being and long-term success.

Supply Chain

We set clear standards, select our partners responsibly and maintain transparent procurement processes to promote consistent quality and sustainability throughout our supply chain.

Sustainability in Action

Praxisdienst is committed to using resources responsibly and continuously reducing our environmental impact. Our focus is on energy-efficient infrastructure, lower-emission logistics and more sustainable approaches to packaging and resource use.

Photovoltaics

Our solar panels make efficient use of roof space, already generating enough electricity for our logistics operations, with potential for full self-sufficiency in the future.

Wind Power Pilot Project

Our state-of-the-art wind turbine allows us to test renewable energy in real-world conditions and assess its long-term potential for sustainable power generation.

LED Lighting

By using modern LED technology, we significantly cut energy consumption, extend the lifespan of our lighting, and reduce both environmental impact and heat generation.

Reducing Waste

We use appropriately sized boxes and minimise the amount of filling material needed. Our packaging is designed to reduce unnecessary material use and comply with applicable packaging regulations.

Reducing CO₂ Emissions

We use lower-emission shipping options for our printed materials and product deliveries, helping to reduce the environmental impact of our shipping processes.

Electric Vehicle Fleet

We are gradually expanding our fleet with electric vehicles to reduce emissions and move towards more sustainable mobility in the long term.

Smart Packaging Systems for Less Waste and Greater Efficiency

Praxisdienst uses innovative packaging technologies to reduce waste and make shipping more efficient. Our automated on-demand carton production systems tailor each box precisely to the size of the order.

This helps reduce cardboard consumption and minimise the need for additional filler material. Smaller, better-fitting boxes also make more efficient use of transport space, lowering CO₂ emissions in logistics.

For medical customers, this means less packaging waste in clinics and practices, easier disposal and a more sustainable shipping process.

Our Employees and Working Conditions

Our employees are the foundation of our success. That is why we are committed to creating a working environment based on fairness, respect and long-term development. We want our employees to feel valued, supported and able to contribute their skills and experience.

✔ Diversity, Equal Opportunity, and Respectful Collaboration
Our teams include people from different backgrounds, age groups and life experiences. We value this diversity and recognise the different perspectives, creativity and ideas it brings to our organisation.

✔ Fair Pay Above Minimum Wage
All salaries exceed statutory requirements. We believe that performance deserves recognition – including financially.

✔ Zero Tolerance for Discrimination
We reject all forms of discrimination, regardless of gender, religion, beliefs or sexual orientation. Respect and equal treatment are fundamental to our workplace.

✔ Safe and Modern Workplaces
Whether in logistics or office roles, we continuously invest in modern working environments that support efficient operations, safety and employee well-being.

✔ Accident Prevention Measures
Employee safety is a top priority. Through targeted prevention measures and optimised workflows, we work to minimise risks and ensure a safe working environment.
