Their workplace: a meadow of wild flowers behind the HAIX logistics centre in Mainburg. These new workers are two colonies of bees, who not only produce our delicious HAIX honey, but also make a huge contribution to our eco-system by pollinating plants.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bees are merely one example of HAIX\u2019s commitment to sustainability as we\u2019re well aware that sustainability is no trend, it\u2019s a necessity. With our \u201cMade in Europe\u201d products, it\u2019s not just heroes we\u2019re protecting, but the environment too.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#002b53″ scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”4403″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]\n

Short shipping distances and more flexibility<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\u201cMade in Europe\u201d means our production takes place exclusively in Europe – that\u2019s the standard of quality we promise. But the \u201cMade in Europe\u201d concept also protects the environment, as it means that shipping distances are kept short \u2013 provided that most of the material used in production comes from Europe too. At present, HAIX obtains around 97 percent of its material from Europe, such as the leather used to make our high-quality functional footwear. This leather is a by-product of the meat industry and comes exclusively from European producers who are committed to using chemicals sustainably and observing the highest standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that added value is generated more locally, resulting in several competitive advantages in comparison to supply chains which operate on a global scale \u2013 speed, flexibility, lower costs and greater predictability. The main advantage, however, is that the short shipping distances produce significantly fewer emissions, and our supply chain is substantially more environmentally friendly. Our logistics centre is just a bee\u2019s fly away from our production site in Mainburg and even our site in Mala Subotica, Croatia, is accessible by car in just a few hours. Furthermore, we avoid unladen lorry journeys, bringing our emissions down even further.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#cbced0″ scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#cbced0″ scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”2\/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Our commitment to Europe<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]At HAIX, we do more than just keep our shipping distances short in order to minimise our carbon footprint. We also make use of three photovoltaic systems for sustainable energy production. And our mission to reduce emissions doesn\u2019t stop there: we use heat recovery and energy-efficient LED lighting, as well as server virtualisation in order to minimise the impact our IT infrastructure has on the environment. We also abide by the REACH regulation to prevent the use of harmful chemicals and our environmental management system is certified in accordance with ISO 14001. Our in-house repair workshop breathes new life into worse-for-wear footwear as another way to save valuable resources \u2013 HAIX shoes are by no means throw-away products. <\/span><\/p>\n

We have also established the interdisciplinary working group \u201cFootprint\u201d, so every HAIX employee can get involved in our sustainability action. This group has helped get measures to improve our sustainability off the ground, such as our in-house beekeeping and our wildflower meadow, and contributes to raising awareness of sustainability among all our colleagues. For HAIX, \u201cMade in Europe\u201d represents a promise of high quality and a commitment to Europe and to improving sustainability, as after all, sustainability is no trend, it\u2019s a necessity.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”4208″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
