Responsibility for energy and environment

Take us at our word!

Corporate Responsibility

Energy efficiency and alternative energy sources are at the centre of our corporate development – not only helping to save you money and sparing raw materials, but even more, protecting  our environment. 

We design our heating and ventilation systems with complete awareness of our responsibilities to the climate.

Environmental policy

Responsibility for energy and environment is a long-standing tradition at Hoval and the primary driving force behind our thoughts and actions.  Indoor climate and world climate are in an ever-changing relationship. At Hoval, we accept the responsibility that arises from these factors and develop and produce indoor climate control solutions (heating, cooling, ventilation) that protect the environment through the use of innovative technologies.  An exceptionally high energy efficiency, the promotion of renewable energy sources, the minimisation of emissions, a long service life and the use of environmentally friendly and recyclable materials are at the core of our efforts – without detracting from product reliability and personal comfort.

At Hoval, we consider assuming responsibility, consistently reducing damaging effects on the ecology and leaving coming generations with an intact environment as a matter of course. That's why Hoval follows a comprehensive environmental policy that involves all corporate divisions and gives equal attention to conservation of nature, social responsibility and economic strength.  It is an expression of our sustained commitment to society and environmental protection and an integral part of our Corporate Responsibility.

Processes and infrastructure

Production processes, logistics chains and workflows at Hoval are designed to be permanently in harmony with our goal of preserving our natural environment. Scarce resources are used efficiently and polluting emissions are avoided. Where waste cannot be prevented it is disposed of in an environmentally compatible manner. In addition, it is important to us that ecologically sound working conditions contribute to employee satisfaction.  The energy efficiency of our own buildings and building technology, as well as of our vehicle fleet, is continously being enhanced while still achieving cost-effective operation. 
 
Taking into account various ecological and economical factors, we achieve this by applying means that reflect the state of the art.  Regular checks verify the effectiveness of our measures and  ecological risks are mitigated by emergency preparedness.

Suppliers

We give priority to suppliers who are aware of their responsibility for the environment and who work according to ecological principles. Our contractual partners are included in our efforts to achieve continuous improvements in environmental protection.  We expect them to be committed to avoiding environmental damage.  Suitable selection criteria ensure that our most important partners are able to apply our environmental conservation policies.  We check the ecological impact of products and encourage our suppliers to avoid environmental risks where necessary.

Certified quality and environmental management system

We ensure the continous application of our environmental policy by means of a certified environmental management system as per the international ISO 14001 standard. The certificate confirms the effectiveness of our environmental management system in complying with the applicable legal regulations and other requirements and in reaching our own environmental targets. To achieve environmental performance goals, all employees are integrated in a targeted improvement and innovation process. The management system is structured along the cycle of design, implementation, monitoring and improvement. (ISO 9001)

System technology

Large buildings such as supermarkets and high-rises, but also smaller structures like nursery schools and offices, usually rely on a multitude of components for heating, cooling and ventilation. Combining these into an intelligent network creates a kind of ecosystem that makes optimal use of energy.

System solution indoor climate technology 

Recognising and utilising natural relationships. The sun evaporates water. Clouds form. Snow falls in elevated areas. It collects and is compressed into glacial ice. Melt waters feed rivulets, streams and rivers, and cool and invigorate the Alps.

Hoval transforms these cycles into energy-saving, reliable and easy-to-operate heating and climate systems. Nature is the best teacher when it comes to offering one-stop shop solutions for different energy sources.  

 

The "small" ecosystem 

Large buildings such as supermarkets and high-rises, but also smaller structures like nursery schools and offices, usually rely on a multitude of components for heating, cooling and ventilation. Combining these into an intelligent network creates a kind of ecosystem that makes optimal use of energy. This type of holistic approach demands special control systems, which ideally should be expandable. Hoval develops these on the basis of powerful microprocessor technology. Despite or perhaps because of modern electronics, their handling is easy and convenient. Remote access via the Internet will become increasingly important in the future.

 

Competence in all areas 

As a single-source supplier, Hoval has the necessary expertise in all areas of heating and climate technology. Our engineers working in the various departments have a common goal: to

develop system solutions that save energy, and thus to lower costs and CO2 emissions. For this type of system to be developed and to function properly, specialists are needed in another area as well: service. It is the service specialists who handle advance consultation, detailed planning, ongoing service and maintenance. Thus, when customers choose a Hoval system solution, they acquire a comprehensive, smoothly-functioning, total package.
