Sustainability in the sanitary industry Our contribution

Water is essential for nutrition, hygiene and cleaning, and as a means of transportation. Our durable, innovative and resource-saving sanitary products make a key contribution towards meeting these basic needs. We have been a reliable partner for the sanitary industry for over 150 years.

For more than 30 years, we have consistently aligned our strategy with long-term considerations - along the entire product life cycle. This commitment is an important reason for the company's success. We believe that one of the greatest contributions to the sustainable use of resources is to continually set new standards for the quality and service life of products.

Geberit products are typically used for decades. In addition, the long-term availability of spare parts and the backwards compatibility of new products make an important contribution to their service life. This makes it easier for construction partners to fulfil the often extensive catalogue of requirements for certified construction projects.

Resources-saving and durable products 

Environment product declarations (EPD) 

Environmental Product Declarations, or EPDs, are an important source of information for building owners, investors, business partners and other decision-makers. They provide information on the ecological footprint of construction products and are based on a detailed life cycle assessment.

Products with third-party EPDs account for 42% of Geberit's Group sales. We therefore offer a wide range of products for buildings constructed in accordance with certification systems such as Minergie, DGNB, BREEAM or LEED.

A binding sustainability strategy 

More than 30 years ago, Geberit drew up its first environmental strategy and implemented specific measures. Over the years, this strategy has been gradually expanded into a comprehensive sustainability strategy. It is based on the UN Agenda 2030 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Four goals are particularly important to Geberit.
