Protecting the environment and looking after this world for our children has been our prime aim for more than forty years. What began with a commitment to growing organic vegetables has now spread throughout the HiPP culture and become a firm philosophy of environmental management.

Raw Materials

• HiPP is the largest processor of organic raw materials world wide.

• By increasing our organic consumption of foods, we are protecting more and more of the soil and ground water from the destructive effects of chemical fertilisers and synthetic pesticides.

Energy

• We strive towards using only renewable sources of energy in our production methods. Most of our energy is generated by biomass (e.g. wood chips) rather irreplaceable fossil fuels such as gas and oil

Water  

• In a planned investment programme over the last decade, HiPP have reduced water consumption at our German plant by half. This is a saving of 372,000 m³ of water - equivalent to all the bottles of mineral water drunk by the population of Munich in a four year period!
• The pure, natural mineral water we use is supplied from our own protected well

Emissions

• At HiPP, we have set our own targets to achieve and exceed the Rio Agreement standards.
• We changed our Plant power supply to biomass power in 2001. We now save approximately 92% CO2 (by the use of biomass power and 'green' electricity - hydro-electric and solar power)
• In addition, the much-reduced use of heating oil in the boiler rooms means that carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide levels will fall too.

Waste

• We recycle 97% of our waste
• For instance, much of this waste is organic and can be used in animal feed, as energy in biogas plants or as liquid manure in cultivation.
