production in order to reduce the vehicles' greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, electric vehicle charging points are 
company premises to enable employees to charge their electric vehicles. This step helps to minimize the CO2 emissions of the vehicle fleet and promotes the use of environmentally friendly vehicles. There is also a program in which every employee can lease bicycles or e-bikes at low cost and free charging points are also provided.

Designa's production facility is located in Germany, where 44% of the electricity used for production is generated from renewable energy sources (as of 2022). The company also invests in optimizing its production processes in order to minimize energy consumption. In the production of electrical appliances, the company uses environmentally friendly and solvent-free powder coatings instead of wet paints. These environmentally friendly coatings not only reduce the environmental impact, but also improve the quality and durability of the products while helping to minimize the use of harmful chemicals. Furthermore, repair and remanufacturing processes of assemblies exist to reintroduce defective units back into the cycle and minimize waste.

Designa also receives an annual certificate from its waste service provider that certifies the correct separation and disposal of waste in accordance with the strict German waste management laws. This process ensures compliance with the highest standards of waste management and helps to protect the environment.

Designa employs staff under a collective agreement with one of the major German trade union associations. The compatibility of work, family and leisure time is promoted by various initiatives such as flexitime accounts, mobile working, offers for partial retirement and the possibility of converting special payments into days off. There is also a company sports club, the provision of prayer rooms and free fruit and coffee. These measures enable employees to better reconcile their individual needs with their professional lives. A good work-life balance helps to keep employees healthy, motivated and productive.
