Climate protection

The protection of our climate is the most important challenge we face today. Climate change – together with the increasing loss of biodiversity – is disrupting soil fertility and living conditions. In the long run, we are risking the very foundations of our existence. For the production of food we need the right weather and sufficient, but not excessive, precipitation as well as fertile soils. Fruits, vegetables and cereals can only grow and thrive if the climate, water and soil are in harmony.

This is why HiPP has been committed to climate protection for many years. Thanks to the use of renewable energy sources our plants in Pfaffenhofen, Gmunden, Glina and Hanságliget produce in a climate-neutral way. Products from these sites have been awarded the “climate-friendly” seal. HiPP is also a member of the “Wirtschaft pro Klima” initiative. All member companies are highly committed to protecting our climate. HiPP, however, doesn’t just look at the manufacturing process when it comes to emissions that impact our climate: New packaging solutions, optimised logistics and our own compost projects are key pillars of our climate-friendly corporate policy.

If we destroy our soils, it will have a major impact on the emission of harmful gases. Arable land, swamps, forest soils and grassland store CO₂. Countless organisms in the soil live on carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. In organic farming, which HiPP has been promoting for more than 60 years, these microorganisms are considered to be the basis for humus formation and thus for soil fertility.
