The foundation-owned TROX Group defines sustainability as part of its corporate DNA. Since 1951, the long-established company TROX has focused on innovation, durability and efficiency - combined with socially responsible action. Trox SE offers components and systems that make the best possible use of available resources and make a significant contribution to climate protection throughout their entire value chain. Sustainability lies at the core of our actions, it is a growth driver and, at the same time, forms a great part of our responsibility.
* Scope 1, 2, 3 upstream (click button for explanation)
Scopes define the areas in which companies emit CO2. According to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), there are three standardised categories along the value chain:
Scope 1 comprises direct emissions within the company. Scope 2 records the indirect emissions from energy suppliers and Scope 3 describes the emissions from the upstream supply chain.
At TROX, environmental and social responsibility and profitable growth are not conflicting goals. Because continuous improvements ensure our future viability. It is about more than saving energy, reducing water consumption or minimising waste. To fulfil our ambition of being climate-neutral* by 2040, we are consistently using all our entrepreneurial opportunities on the path to a sustainably productive future. (* Scope 1, 2, 3 upstream)
As a globally active Group, our sustainability strategy is based on the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Some of these goals have long been part of our values, such as more sustainable economic development, technical innovation, energy efficiency and, most importantly, human well-being.
Our 360° sustainability approach comprises 6 defined strategic fields of action that include almost all 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve these goals, we want to meet the enormous challenges of our time and play an active role in shaping sustainable living, working and economic activity

TROX is a global market leader in the development, manufacture and sale of components, units and systems for the safe ventilation and air conditioning of rooms, including fire protection and smoke extraction technology. TROX products are produced in an environmentally friendly manner, are energy-efficient and ensure demand-based operation.
With 33 subsidiaries in 28 countries on five continents, 20 production sites and further importers and representatives, the company is present in over 70 countries. The TROX GROUP currently has around 4,770 employees worldwide and an annual turnover of around 670 million Euros.
The foundation is an expression of the life's work of its founder, Heinz Trox. By establishing the foundation in 1991, he ensured the continued existence of Trox SE as an independent company. The object of the foundation is the advancement of scientific projects in the field of ventilation and air-conditioning technology and the support of social and cultural activities.
The Heinz Trox Foundation holds 94% of the shares in Trox SE which is based in Neukirchen-Vluyn on the left bank of the Lower Rhine. The foundation's holdings in the TROX GROUP are its primary asset; its dividend distribution forms the economic basis for its sponsorship activities.

Climate neutrality and sustainability have long been firmly anchored as corporate goals at TROX. Since 2019, TROX has produced an annual sustainability report with comprehensive information on the successes achieved as well as measures already initiated and planned for the future. A special climate formula was developed to illustrate TROX's commitment.
"TROX is a highly meaningful company that acts sustainably in two respects – for health and for the environment. This follows our tradition, which has always focused on quality, durability, efficiency, innovation and socially responsible action," explains Christine Roßkothen, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility.
We can only achieve our sustainability goals by involving our suppliers. To this end, we will check at least 90% of all suppliers concerning their sustainability by 2025. At the same time, 100 % of core suppliers are required to transparently disclose their carbon footprints in order to assess their sustainability.
Obligation of suppliers to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct and our General Terms and Conditions
A significant portion of TROX' ecological footprint is determined by the products themselves. Our components and systems provide people with clean and optimally tempered breathing air while maximising safety (fire protection). TROX products are durable, energy-efficient and sustainable.
We put great emphasis on the careful use of raw materials, energy and water. This also includes waste avoidance, recycling and optimised work processes and conditions.
With the TROX Production System TPS, we are improving processes and sustainability aspects in all TROX GROUP production facilities worldwide.
Reducing the CO2 consumption of our movements of goods and optimising resources for packaging materials are important to us. We produce in close proximity to the customer, bundle transports, pay attention to the choice of transport modes and optimise packaging for better transportability.
TROX's operational infrastructure is geared towards sustainability. The efficient use of energy and water in buildings conserves resources, reduces CO2 emissions and lowers operating costs.
Product development is also planned from the outset using recyclable materials to ensure maximum recycling and efficient use of resources.
'The human being is the benchmark, and people's well-being is our goal.' We consistently align our actions with this corporate philosophy. In order to establish TROX as the most sustainable company in the industry in the long term, both politically and publicly, we must invest in securing our future today.
The Paulownia plantation growing here is a joint project of Stefan Bonsels' farm, the international TROX GROUP from Neukirchen-Vluyn and the bio innovation park Rheinland e. V. and its scientific network partners.
The tree species, which originates from Asia, is also known as the kiri or bluebell tree. It grows rapidly, binds a particularly large amount of carbon dioxide and offers other benefits, such as use as a building material or food source.
The importance of sustainability in our lives and the role of environmentally friendly products is undisputed. TROX takes you into a new era of building with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Learn all about the eco-labelling of products at TROX, from the importance to the benefits of EPDs, and how they can have a lasting impact on your purchasing behaviour.
