and environment

Our production takes place in the heart of Europe. This means not only shorter distances on the way to your customers. Our products „made in Germany“ are also far superior to import articles from overseas with a substantially smaller carbon footprint.

We attach great importance to the environment. That's why our materials and production processes are designed to be free of harmful substances, ecologically compatible, waste avoiding and recyclable. We purchase green electricity from hydropower, invest in energy-saving measures and develop our products in such a way that they have a long product life. 

As well as the avoidance and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, offsetting is a vital step in climate action, besides reducing them continuously, this means we record and offset all unavoidable emissions by supporting carbon offset projects. Therefore, Senator GmbH now is a climate neutral company.

As a carbon neutral company, we support regional an international carbon offset projects. By investing in those projects, we also support the realisation of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, such as the fight against poverty or the improvement of living conditions in emerging and developing countries.

Our own SER (Social & Environmental Responsibility) program commits us and our suppliers to taking responsibility for people and the environment. Senator are one of the founder members of BSCI. All of our partners are audited under the international “Business Social Compliance Initiative” (BSCI) in the following important areas:

  • Health and safety in the workplace
  • Social performance and working conditions
  • Ethical and moral behaviour
  • Quality standards and environmental performance
  • Observance of human rights and minimum wage regulations
  • Prohibition of child labour and enforced labour

We get the chemistry right.

Getting the chemistry right with our customers starts with choosing the right raw materials.

The aim of the European Union REACH Program is to ensure that by 2018 only tested and registered products are used, so that harmful effects on human health and the environment are kept to a minimum. In future, it will not be possible to sell pens in the EU unless the ingredients used in the inks and paints are registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki. We are already meeting these requirements, using approaches including our professional and sustainable raw materials management system. ALL senator® pens are manufactured to REACH standards. Our products are always a safe choice!
