Overview of environmental measures at ACL

ACL implements the following measures to ensure the efficient use of resources at its own location.

Development and production "Made in Germany" with domestic suppliers

ACL develops and manufactures its products entirely in Germany. Collaboration with selected suppliers and the responsible use of resources enable short transport routes and enhance value creation. 50 percent of direct suppliers (by sales volume) are based in Germany. The primary and secondary packaging for our products is made from recyclable materials. We are continuously working to increase the proportion of recyclable packaging in our total outgoing shipments.

Long service life of ACL products in practice

ACL devices are designed for a long service life and high product quality. For example, the OR-PC® at the University Hospital Leipzig is frequently used in continuous operation for more than ten years before replacement is necessary.

Power supply with our own photovoltaic system

250 kVa photovoltaic systems with 100 kVa storage are installed on the two production halls and on the roof of the parking lot at the site to provide the company's own power supply.

Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles

Electric charging points are available in the company car park for employees' and customers' electric vehicles.

Bee honey and company-owned fruit trees

Since 2021, honey has been produced by two bee colonies at the ACL headquarters. From the surrounding plants such as rape, dandelion and the company's own fruit trees, 80,000 bees collect the delicious nectar, from which 100 kg of honey are extracted.
