Schaeffler

Schaeffler is a publicly listed family-owned company with a strong foundation of values. Economic success and awareness of the social and environmental impacts of its business have traditionally been closely interlinked in Schaeffler.

The company has always been known for its innovative strength and technological expertise. Building on this, Schaeffler pursues a long-term balance between sustainability and cost efficiency, while taking responsibility for the company’s future and future generations. This is the reason why “Sustainable” is one of the four corporate values.

Schaeffler considers sustainability as a holistic, overarching topic and assumes ecological and social responsibility throughout the entire value chain. Consistently aligned with the three ESG dimensions—Environment, Social and Governance—the company continuously develops its sustainability strategy.

Adidas

adidas’ commitment to sustainability is reflected in how the company works across its products, materials and operations. Its approach focuses on four key areas: climate, nature, circularity and human rights. This means working to lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce impacts on natural systems, keep products and materials in use for longer, and support fair and safe working conditions.
 
Here in Herzogenaurach, adidas’ World of Sports campus incorporates a range of environmental measures, including renewable electricity and electric-vehicle charging points, as well as wildflower meadows, nesting sites and orchards that provide habitats for local wildlife.

Puma

At its headquarters in Herzogenaurach, PUMA supports everyday e-mobility with charging infrastructure for employees and visitors: publicly accessible charging points and fast chargers, alongside a solar-powered charging station. Solar panels on the buildings generate electricity for the site. Around 90% of the vehicles in PUMA’s Herzogenaurach fleet are electric as of 2025.

Across the company, PUMA works to reduce its environmental impact along defined, measurable targets: its climate targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, with progress reported annually in the PUMA Annual Report. As a partner of Herzo United, PUMA wants to support practical steps towards more resource-efficient mobility in Herzogenaurach.

Herzo Werke

With the construction of the heat storage facility at the Herzo Werke in Herzogenaurach, it was possible to optimize the urban supply through the district heating network and create an environmentally friendly alternative with the help of long-term storage of excess renewable energies.

When it comes to the supply of drinking water, heat, gas and energy, the focus is on the benefit of the citizens in Herzogenaurach for the Herzo Werke. As a subsidiary of the city, the company does not strive for maximum profit, but wants to improve the infrastructure for the city sustainably, keep it intact and ensure a livable Herzogenaurach.

Herzogenaurach

With its climate strategy, the City of Herzogenaurach aims to contribute to making the city a more liveable place. In doing so, it is committed to a future-ready, circular and socially responsible development and, within its capabilities, contributes to protecting the global climate.

The city sees itself as having a responsibility to take appropriate measures to mitigate climate change while also taking the necessary steps to reduce the potential impacts of changing environmental conditions on citizens, businesses and infrastructure.
