    Corporate Social
    Responsibility

    The VARTA AG group takes responsibility
    through several engagements in different areas.

    Responsibility for people and the environment

    Sustainable, social, ecological and economic actions have always been inseparably linked to the company culture that VARTA has practiced and cultivated for more than 130 years. In this way have we been able to become what we are today: an innovation leader in important growth markets of lithium-ion technology, market leader in hearing aid batteries, and market leader in primary batteries for retail consumers, with approximately 1.5 billion alkaline batteries manufactured each year.

    As a technology leader and supplier of innovative high-quality products, we are keenly aware of our responsibility for people and the environment. With our commitment to Germany as a production location and with our plants in Ellwangen, Dischingen and Nördlingen, we focus on environmentally friendly and resource-saving production, the quality and safety of our products, on motivating and supporting our employees, and on our social commitment – united under the umbrella of “VARTA Helps.”

    Our commitment for

    Social Interests & Society

    Deutscher Gehörlosen-Sportverband (German Deaf Sport Association)

    For many years VARTA Microbattery supports the Deutscher Gehörlosen-Sportverband (german deaf sport association).

    With our help hearing impaired and deaf people are promoted. We support the participation in competitions, e. g. Deaflympics and European championships in different sportive disciplines and would like to help many athletes on their way to medals.
    Our opinion: hearing impaired and deaf people should not be left behind.

    Hear the World

    The best hearing aid device does not work without functioning batteries, but they have to be replaced regularly. Hearing aid batteries are unaffordable to many people in low-income countries and are often hardly available on site. Since 2010 VARTA Microbattery has been supporting the Hear the World Foundation with power one hearing aid batteries. Our aim is to fill every hearing aid device with life and energy to enable people to hear every day.

    Thanks to this partnership the Hear the World Foundation is enabled to provide hearing aid batteries free of charge for every donated hearing aid device.

    Environment & Resources

    AT VARTA, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF CORPORATE GOALS

    Responsibility for the environment is manifested throughout the entire life cycle of our products. We place uncompromising demands on environmentally friendly development and manufacture and require our products to be safe and have a long service life, whereby sustainable disposal represents a key factor. Thanks to pioneering technologies, we can reduce any long-term impact on the environment, or even completely avoid it. With our own environmental protection guidelines, we set higher standards than those specified by legal regulations.

    SUSTAINABLE – FOR AN INTACT ENVIRONMENT

    Only with sustainable concepts for ecologically safe production and environmentally compatible products can the growing need of society for an intact environment be fulfilled. A major contribution to sustainability is made by VARTA products due to their innovative technological structural features, design, environmentally compatible use of materials, and efficient, virtually total recyclability. Our certified environmental management system ensures compliance with highly stringent in-house guidelines at every process step.

    Environmentally compatible products

    We assess possible environmental impacts of our products during product development over the entire life cycle; We strive to conserve resources through economical material use, recyclability and reusability.

    Competence and protection of employees

    Through information, qualification and incentives the sense of responsibility of all employees for environmental protection is regularly promoted and expanded.
