Corporate Social Responsibility

Putting Responsibility into Practice – Together

At ECOS Technology, we recognize our responsibility toward our employees, customers, and partners, as well as society and the environment.

Our actions are guided by the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact.

This page highlights some of the concrete measures we are implementing at ECOS.

Our Foundation

Think globally. Act locally.

ECOS Technology has been a participant in the United Nations Global Compact since 2023.
We identify the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a guiding framework for our activities:

In 2025, ECOS was certified as an ÖKOPROFIT® company.

As a member of the ÖKOPROFIT Klub, we continue to develop measures to improve our environmental performance, including energy-saving initiatives. Exchanging knowledge and experiences within the network helps us further develop our CSR and environmental initiatives.
This work has also led to the introduction of several internal policies covering mobility, environmental protection, procurement, and business travel.

Shared commitment

Shaping our future together.

Our business activities have an impact both within and beyond our company. Actively involving our team in developing and implementing initiatives is an essential part of our approach. This gives our employees the opportunity to help shape our corporate culture.

Our regular CSR Cafés provide opportunities for everyone to participate, for example by organizing workshops or giving presentations on topics such as climate protection, biodiversity, nutrition, and health.

In our future-focused workshops, we review internal processes and identify opportunities for improvement.

Activities & networks

We regularly participate in regional and nationwide initiatives, such as ‘Stadtradeln’ (City Cycling) and ‘Deutsche Aktionstage Nachhaltigkeit’ (German Sustainability Action Days). We are also a member of the ‘Gemeinschaftswerk Nachhaltigkeit’ (Joint Action for Sustainable Development).

Regional projects

ECOS supports regional projects and organizations, including NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) as a supporting member and 'Wald zum Leben' (Forest for Life). Joint activities, such as building nesting boxes or planting native perennials, give our employees the opportunity to engage directly with environmental issues and biodiversity.

Focus on health

We offer all employees health and wellness benefits that go beyond statutory requirements. These include financial support for fitness programs, height-adjustable desks, and portable exercise equipment for use in the workplace.

Our initiatives

What we do in practice.

Mobility
  • We primarily travel by train on business trips.
  • We are gradually phasing out our company car fleet and replacing it with a flexible mobility budget.
  • We provide financial support for the Deutschlandticket (Germany's nationwide public transport pass) and bicycle purchases.


     
     
     
Energy
  • At our Oppenheim location, ECOS uses electricity from 100% renewable energy sources. Green Planet Energy has been our electricity supplier since 2016.
  • A charging station for electric vehicles is available to employees and visitors at our Oppenheim location.
  • Our externally hosted servers are located in Germany. According to our hosting provider, the data center we use is powered entirely by hydroelectricity.

 

Procurement
  • Whenever possible, we prioritize products with recognized environmental or organic labels, such as the Blue Angel ecolabel or the EU organic logo.
  • When purchasing food, we also aim to minimize transportation distances by prioritizing products sourced from Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse.
  • For coffee and other food products from outside Europe, we prefer Fairtrade-certified products.
