As an internationally operating trading company, we strive for sustainable development.
This is an important element of our mission statement – we want not only to comply with ecological and social requirements, but to exceed them.

Renewable Energies
At HOYER Handel we rely on renewable energies. Since August 2010 we have been purchasing 100 percent clean electricity from WEMAG AG, certified by Grüner Strom Label e.V. (registered association ‘green electricity label’). Our fleet of vehicles is currently being converted to e-mobility.

With an internal whistleblower hotline, we support our code of conduct, strengthen our sense of responsibility as well as our sustainability profile and we prevent any nuisances.
HOYER Handel Honey
In 2021, we provided a space for two bee colonies on our rooftop terrace. In doing so, we want to contribute to the support of honeybees, biodiversity, and awareness of biodiversity among our employees. And on top of that, we had our own HOYER Handel honey twice a year.
