Mission statement

Sustainability & compliance

Thinking for tomorrow today
Together with our plant, we fulfil comprehensive compliance and corporate social responsibility (CSR). We consider waste avoidance and disposal as well as the careful use of energy and all resources to be our obligation and motivation to act. The safe handling of our materials serves the health of our employees and the environment.

We take sustainability and environmental protection into account in the further and new development of products and production processes and do not shy away from high R&D and subsequent testing costs for energy-efficient, sustainable products. Many of our tested products are certified according to EMICODE guidelines "EC1PLUS" and are therefore considered "very low emission". This means we can guarantee our customers that these products are free from hazardous substances in the indoor air. We have suitable products in our portfolio for building certifications in accordance with Minergie and Minergie Eco. Our studies on the suitability of certain energy-efficient products for passive houses have attracted a great deal of attention. Life cycle assessments exist for certain individual product areas or raw materials from raw material manufacturers or as co-owner of the PDR company for the recycling of PU cans and this life cycle assessment. We subject ourselves to the strict testing criteria and voluntary commitments of renowned institutes. We want to continue to pursue a holistic approach to sustainability. Regardless of whether it is applications that have been tried and tested over many years or new modern products with an orientation towards the aspects of the "Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability" (LOHAS) for a sustainable lifestyle combined with an affinity for technology and quality awareness.

Our compliance management includes our own structured quality management system in accordance with ISO TS 16949 and DIN ISO 9001 with a quality management officer as well as an environmental management system and certification in accordance with ÖKOPROFIT (Ecological Project for Integrated Environmental Technology) based on ISO 14001 and EMAS principles. It also covers energy management (ISO 50001 - certification for HANNO not applicable) and occupational safety (no OSHAS18001 certification) and is monitored by a compliance officer.

Long-standing corporate guidelines and employee guidelines reflect our voluntary commitments and are combined with socially recognised principles (long-term corporate preservation, sustainability in strategic and operational business, creation of our own indicators of sustainable corporate governance, orientation towards values and compliance with rules as well as implementation of the basic principles of sustainable corporate governance: solidarity, transparency, risk management) in order to integrate social and environmental concerns into our activities and in our interaction with stakeholders on a voluntary basis.

Securing our location and our products "Made in Germany" are values for our employees, shareholders and customers. We are committed to the basic values and principles of the UN Global Compact, similar to ISO 26000, which we document through our membership of the German Textile+Fashion Confederation with the published "Code of Conduct" and our membership of the German Foamed Plastics Association (FSK) with the "Compliance and Code of Conduct of the Polyurethane and Foamed Plastics Industry" and which can be viewed under the relevant links.

Research & Development

Highest quality and safety are standard for us
Reliability and a state-of-the-art quality management system offer our customers the necessary safety when handling our products, in addition to warranties and product liability. Regular in-house and externally monitored quality controls and tests that go far beyond the required standard, as well as high-quality, non-blended base materials, guarantee a consistently high level of quality for all Hanno products.

Quality and reliability

Good things keep getting better
"Never rest on our laurels" has been one of our credos since the company was founded. That's why we not only put all our expertise into every single product, but are also constantly working to optimise our performance.

Continuous quality management and the reliability of our products are our top priorities. That is why we attach the utmost importance to regular checks and standards to ensure the quality that our customers have always expected from us. Our quality assurance is carried out in accordance with ISO/TS 16949:2009 and DIN ISO 9001:2008.
From 2018, the focus will be on IATF 16949 : 2016.
