Outstanding: AlmaWin receives the German Sustainability Award 2026
We are proud and delighted. On December 5, Marion Jäger and Rudolf Bund were presented with the German Sustainability Award 2026 at a ceremony on the “Stage of the Best.”
The German Sustainability Award is one of the most important German awards for ecological, social, and economic commitment. It recognizes our more than 30 years of consistent commitment to sustainability and ecology. The jury “commends AlmaWin as an outstanding role model for sustainability in its sector and recognises that the company consistently integrates environmental responsibility into all areas of its business.” (Jury statement, DNP)
ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS AND USE OF RAW MATERIALS SCORE POINTS
The resources-saving use of raw materials and the high environmental standards, like EMAS III, ECOCERT® and Ecogarantie® in production were particularly convincing. All ingredients are eco-certified with ECOCERT® and Ecogarantie® and free from microplastics, nanoparticles, phosphonates, chlorine, optical brighteners, and synthetic additives. Instead, we rely on plant-based raw materials, GMO-free enzymes, and innovative technologies such as orange terpenes or liquid soap nut extracts, which combine effectiveness and the use of renewable raw materials.
CLIMATE PROTECTION
Another focus is on climate protection: we purchase electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources and use energy-efficient technologies such as heat recovery, LED lighting, and low-energy buildings with heat pumps and green roofs. Our own photovoltaic system also supplies our production processes with renewable energy—a commitment that was particularly highlighted by the jury.
THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE – REMAINING TRANSPARENT – SETTING VALUES
We also participate in research projects to develop new, recycled bio-based raw materials and work closely with PreZero to achieve a closed recycling loop. In addition, we support CleanHub, which reduces plastic waste in coastal regions worldwide.
Our broad-based commitment is also reflected in our very specific commitments: eco-certifications according to the independent and internationally recognized Ecogarantie® and ECOCERT®standards.
At the international European level, we are committed to actively improving our environmental goals and transparent communication, especially in terms of resource efficiency, emissions, and waste, with EMAS certification.
Furthermore, GREEN BRANDS evaluates the company and the AlmaWin and Klar EcoSensitive brands every two years in terms of innovation and progress toward environmental goals. GREEN BRANDS is a guarantee mark recognized by the EU.
