With our geotechnical solutions, we are helping to prevent the impoverishment of entire regions. Protection against flooding, desertification and soil erosion must be the main short-term goal in order to secure agricultural production areas as well as living and economic space.

Climate change poses new challenges for entire regions around the world. It is not only in Africa or parts of Asia that famine is a recurring threat due to failed harvests. Protecting agricultural land from flooding, providing water reservoirs and efficient irrigation channels are some of the measures that can help to secure the food supply.

The maintenance and creation of infrastructures play a key role in securing our social and economic life. The coming together of people, the conduct of trade and the provision of goods and services requires intact transportation routes on land and water, a functioning energy supply that is increasingly generated from renewable sources and thus regionally, as well as safe buildings. We make a significant contribution to all of the above with our geotechnical solutions.

Through personalized training, lectures and our online academy, we share our knowledge and pass on our experience – even in regions where participation is not a matter of course and where environmental protection often takes a back seat to basic needs.

Our company makes a social contribution in many target markets – as already outlined under SDGs 1, 2 and 3. In countries where women are clearly the movers and shakers in the family, we also help to ensure agricultural income and nutrition. In our company, we attach great importance to collectively agreed pay regardless of age and gender. Despite the male dominance in the industry, we are pleased to increase the number of female employees and promote them to management positions.

With the development of the “clay seal from the roll” and highly complex sealing systems for landfill construction, we have been helping to prevent the discharge of pollutants for decades. Our sealing systems collect drinking water and rainwater, channel water for irrigation, buffer pollutants and prevent operating materials from traffic and infrastructure facilities from reaching the groundwater.

If onshore wind farms or photovoltaic parks could not be maintained, the generation of renewable energy would not be possible. Our geotechnical solutions make it possible to realize the necessary supply routes for these parks even in rough terrain.

We are represented in many countries, where we contribute to economic growth and employ people of many different nationalities. We attach great importance to diversity and respectful cooperation, occupational safety and health promotion. We see ourselves as a source of ideas in our industry. This allows us to open up new markets with our innovations and generate sustainable growth.

A sustainably developed industry, a strong infrastructure and constant innovation pave the way for social prosperity and economic efficiency. This is where Naue’s vision “The global infrastructure of the future is built on Naue” comes true. We make our contribution. In addition to these “broad lines”, we are also pursuing numerous individual goals: For example, we are investing in software components to optimize planning processes and are thus expanding our digitalization concepts in order to be future-proof.

Naue sees it as its responsibility to implement sustainable product and system solutions for infrastructure projects. This responsibility is global and ultimately has the consequence that every project implemented on site is accompanied by an improvement in infrastructure. Improved and generally accessible infrastructures are a basic prerequisite for enabling equal opportunities in societies in the first place.

Sustainable construction in cities and municipalities will no longer be possible in future without sustainable geotechnical solutions. Whether river bank stabilization, the construction and renovation of traffic routes, the handling of groundwater in the development of building plots …, this list could be continued with many more applications. We see ourselves as an important partner for urban planners and construction companies, both in structural and civil engineering and in hydraulic engineering, in order to do justice to the topic of sustainability in its many facets on site.

One of our most important tasks is the sustainable use of resources. We ensure efficient product standards, develop extremely durable products and increasingly rely on biodegradable raw materials. We are also pursuing the goal of making the circular economy possible with our products. To this end, we are working together with universities and research institutes on modern recycling concepts. Investing in the consistent renewal and modernization of our processes and systems is a prerequisite for this and a corresponding entrepreneurial attitude.

Our products and our new developments help to protect the climate. The construction methods realized with our products demonstrably reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By expanding our production facilities, we are also minimizing transport routes. But that’s not all: in accordance with our ESG policy, we save energy with every new production facility by improving production processes and reducing material consumption.

Scour protection on river bridges or offshore wind turbines is not only a challenge in terms of stabilizing the respective object. It is also a challenge in terms of environmental protection. Conventional measures, such as the placement of stones around the monopiles, have been proven to change the marine flora and fauna.

With flood protection concepts, the reduction of microplastics and greening and erosion control systems, we make life on land possible with our geotechnical solutions.

Naue is a globally active company that values and recognizes the diversity of cultures. We also value the political decision-making process in the various companies and the economic organizational structure in the various national and international associations. They all contribute to the fact that strong institutions can ensure more peace and justice in the world.
