Shaping the future – sustainably and conscientiously

As one of the world's leading providers of solutions that make electrical systems safer and more intelligent, we are aware of our responsibility towards society and the environment.

Both regionally and globally, we are committed to meeting our high standards in the areas of quality, environmental protection, energy efficiency and social responsibility at all times.
As improvement is a continuous process, we are constantly expanding our commitment with new measures, certifications and awards. You can find an extract of our measures here.

Code of Conduct

As a globally active family business with more than 1,350 employees, exemplary behaviour is part of our self-image.

We have set this down in writing in our Code of Conduct. Every employee undertakes to always act in accordance with this code by signing it.

The Code of Conduct includes, among other things:

  • respect for human rights,
  • the ban on child labour,
  • the ban on discrimination,
  • the protection of employee rights,
  • environmentally conscious behaviour and
  • the promotion of civic engagement.

Code of Conduct

Gender note

Equal treatment of the sexes is important to us. For reasons of better readability, however, we predominantly use the masculine form of designations on our website, and in individual cases the feminine form. This in no way implies any discrimination against or judgement of the other gender - female, male and intersex persons may feel equally addressed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sustainability and environment

For us, ‘Design the future of energy’ not only means making electrical systems safer and smarter, but also making an active contribution to a more ecologically sustainable future.

Our measures include:

  • the installation of photovoltaic systems,
  • the purchase of green electricity,
  • charging stations for electric vehicles,
  • the conversion of our vehicle fleet to e-cars,
  • sustainable land use with the creation and preservation of habitats for local flora and fauna on the company premises
  • a long-term climate strategy.

We also actively support regional environmental and climate protection projects – not only financially, but also with hands-on involvement.

Certificates

We have been certified in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 50001 energy management standard since 2016. This means that we have committed to continuously improving our energy-related performance - including energy efficiency, energy use and energy consumption.

Ecological behaviour is an integral part of our corporate culture, which we are continuously developing. Since 2011, we have formalised this approach with DIN EN ISO 14001 certification and made our commitment to sustainable business practices a matter of course.

We measure ourselves by the satisfaction of our customers - also by the ISO 9001 certificate, because the name Bender stands for products and services of the highest quality.

Bender@SELAM

In Ethiopia, many young people find it difficult to find training and work that will enable them to lead a good life and secure a future for their families.
That is why we have joined forces with the SELAM aid organisation and launched our first social-electrical project: Bender@SELAM.

With this initiative, we want to give young people a chance who would otherwise have few opportunities. The aim is to offer them a solid professional foundation so that they can build a sustainable future for themselves and their families.
