Social commitment on site

2025
Hengst has set itself science-based targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and is now having these validated by the independent organization Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). The aim is to achieve even more sustainable business practices throughout the Hengst Group in line with the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement.
2024
The third edition of the internal Sustainability Award broke records in terms of submissions and ideas. For the first time, eight ideas were therefore transferred to a mentoring process in order to intensively examine their feasibility and implementation. The focus of the Sustainability Award 2024 was the circular economy.
2024
Hengst established the Nature Conservation Day in Münster in 2023 and 2024. More than 20 colleagues from Münster and Nordwalde work together with NABU to maintain the landscape and learn about our flora and fauna.
2023
The second internal Sustainability Award goes to Münster. The winning team has converted the end plates of selected filter inserts to recyclates, i.e. recycled plastic. This switch saves hundreds of thousands of liters of crude oil and several thousand tons of CO2 per year.
2019 & 2022
Hengst has been the jersey and perimeter board sponsor of the Uni Baskets from Münster (formerly WWU Baskets) since 2019. With the promotion to the second-tier Pro A in 2022, Hengst and the Uni Baskets have extended their partnership until 2025. The free tickets to home games are very popular with the workforce.

Hengst presents the first internal Sustainability Award to the site in Joinville, Brazil. 15,000 trees are planted around the plant, which grow quickly and remove a lot of CO2 from the air.
2022
Hengst supports the Münster Marathon as a sponsor. Many employees also run the full distance or take part in the relay. The small run in the frame of the marathon has been called Hengst-Filtration-28 since its introduction in 2022.
