ARNOLD receives Silver Stevie Award for ACO2 SAVE
ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK was honoured with a Silver Stevie Award in the "Resource Conservation" category at the 12th German Stevie Awards. The honour recognises the ACO2 SAVE initiative, through which the company combines technological innovation, resource conservation, and the reduction of CO2 emissions across the value chain.
The German Stevie Awards honour outstanding entrepreneurial achievements and innovations. For ARNOLD, this recognition validates its approach of incorporating sustainability into the development of fastening solutions and extending that mindset through manufacturing and into logistics.
With ACO2 SAVE, ARNOLD explores opportunities to save materials, energy and emissions across the entire process chain. Technical requirements, cost-effective manufacturing, and environmental considerations are all integrated into the development process. The goal is to identify potential for improvement at an early stage and, together with customers, translate these into application-specific solutions. Sustainability thus becomes an integral part of technical decision-making and collaboration with development partners.
The jury particularly highlighted the holistic approach of ACO2 SAVE. This includes the material-saving potential of cold forming and the early consideration of the carbon footprint in development decisions. The award thus recognises the interplay of technological expertise and environmental responsibility.
Rihab Warag from the Marketing & Sustainability department accepted the award on behalf of ARNOLD in Paris. "We are proud of what we have achieved together. This award motivates us to continue developing innovative and sustainable solutions," she explained during the awards ceremony.
ACO2 SAVE is the result of the knowledge, ideas and commitment of employees from various divisions within the company. ARNOLD therefore views the Silver Stevie Award as recognition of this collaborative effort. At the same time, the award serves as an incentive to further develop resource-efficient connection solutions and to advance sustainability in partnership with customers and partners.
