As a medium-sized and internationally active group of companies, we are aware of our responsibility. We pursue the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Data Center

Sustainable data center at the Waldzimmern site

Since it opened in 2015, the IT waste heat from the Würth data center has been heating the building at our Würth IT site in Waldzimmern. This ensures a sustainable and climate-neutral energy supply for 130 employees.

This measure is an integral part of the company's #GreenIT offensive, and is now an energy-saving potential for the entire Würth Group.

Social standards in the supply chain

Würth IT GmbH builds on a social foundation characterized by reciprocity and cooperation. Fair cooperation means: compliance with guidelines and laws, internal company standards and a clear ethical mission statement. Or in short: compliance. As part of a global value chain, we are aware of our responsibility and reflect on our influence on the economic, social and ecological facets of society. We must prevent harm to our company, our business partners and our employees. Rules and standards must apply to everyone in order to enable fair cooperation. We are dependent on creating a transparent environment, recognizing misconduct and following up on indications of harmful behavior. The protection of fair competition, human rights and the environment are paramount. We consistently pursue any indications of violations. Würth IT GmbH assumes social responsibility with the help of sustainable supply chain management and audits more than 700 suppliers. The minimum requirements with regard to environmental protection, human rights and fair labor and business practices are checked.

We are also dependent on information about violations. We encourage all people in the Würth IT GmbH environment, internally or externally, to report breaches of rules or suspicions. Whistleblowers are protected by the company and specific indications are investigated. Discrimination, intimidation or other influence on whistleblowers is a breach of the rules in itself and will result in disciplinary action.

Below you will find our rules of procedure in German and English.

If you have specific indications of high-risk violations in connection with the business activities of Würth IT GmbH, you can contact us.
