Certified sustainable: the ZNU standard at KAMAT

We anchor ecological, economic and social responsibility firmly within our company with the ZNU Standard.

Sustainability is part of our corporate DNA

As a global manufacturer of high-pressure technology, we recognise that our responsibility starts at home. That is why we have formalised our commitment to sustainability, successfully achieving certification to the ZNU ‘Sustainable Management’ standard in 2025.

For us, certification is not just a label; it drives us to continuously develop our company in all relevant areas: ecological, economic and social.
We don’t just consider sustainability to be relevant internally – it’s also part of our solution for the industry.

What is the ZNU standard?

The ZNU standard was developed through a broad-based stakeholder process involving companies, scientists, and certification bodies. It incorporates essential criteria for sustainable action, including:

  • ISO 14001/EMAS.
  • ISO 50001
  • Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • German Sustainability Code
  • UN Global Compact.

The standard sets out sustainability requirements in a practical, applicable and auditable way, for businesses ranging from small industrial companies to international corporations.

The aim of the standard is to:

To establish an integrated management system for sustainability that is continuously developed and subject to external control.

Three key areas:

  • Environment: energy efficiency, use of materials, emissions and recyclability.
  • Economy: innovative strength, sustainability, risk minimisation.
  • Social: employee well-being, fair working conditions and social responsibility.
