Supporting the Mobility Transition
Through our products, we actively and sustainably promote the transformation of mobility in cities and communities.
Achieving a Climate-Friendly Footprint
We actively avoid, reduce, and offset emissions by using certified climate protection measures, reaffirming our commitment to a more sustainable future.
Sustainable Products
Our products combine exceptional quality and durability with sustainability. Many are produced with low emissions, and any remaining emissions are offset through certified climate protection initiatives.
Our products benefit the environment
At Gronard, our bicycle stands and parking systems play a key role in advancing sustainable urban mobility. Our most popular models including KAPPA®, KAPPA® LIGHT, BWA®-PARKER, and FELIX® are produced with low emissions, and we offset any remaining emissions through certified climate protection measures.
Contributing to the Mobility Transition
Climate change represents the greatest challenge of our time. As its impact becomes ever more tangible, the pressure on businesses to act responsibly, even before political regulations take effect, continues to grow. At GRONARD, we take this responsibility seriously. We put our expertise to work for society and the environment. Through our products, we actively support the mobility transition in cooperation with cities and municipalities, architects, developers, and businesses to help ensure a livable planet for future generations.
We are a low-emission company
The best CO₂ is the CO₂ that never enters the atmosphere. We have therefore made it our priority to reduce our emissions as much as possible. Today, 92% of our remaining emissions, totaling 852 tons of CO₂ per year*, are indirect emissions that occur before raw materials, energy, and other resources reach us. We are continually striving to minimize this footprint through sustainable production methods and shorter transport routes. Until this is fully achieved, we offset these emissions by purchasing climate protection certificates. In 2024, we compensated a total of 852 tons of CO₂ through certified climate projects.
2018 - 2019
We offset the greenhouse gas emissions of our company for the years 2018 and 2019 through the purchase of 310 certificates from the projects UN CER Wind India and VCS Forest Belize.
2020
We offset the greenhouse gas emissions of our product lines Kappa®, Kappa® Light, BWA® Parker, and Felix for 2020 through the purchase of 548 certificates from the project VCS Forest Uruguay.
*For the calculation of our company’s carbon footprint, we commissioned the external sustainability consulting firm Fokus Zukunft. The emissions balance was determined in accordance with the official guidelines of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
