Danfoss wins German Sustainability Award
8th December 2025
GERMANY: Danfoss Germany has been awarded the German Sustainability Award 2025 within the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning category.
The German Sustainability Awards were established in 2008 and are presented to cities, companies and individuals promoting the idea of a sustainable society.
The jury recognised Danfoss as a pioneer in a transformation that combines ecological responsibility with economic success in the HVAC industry. The company was honoured for its consistent commitment to making decarbonisation, energy efficiency, and resource conservation central to its corporate strategy, demonstrating how ecological responsibility and economic success go hand in hand.
At the parent company headquarters in Nordborg, Denmark, and Danfoss GmbH sites in Offenbach and Hamburg, Germany, the company already covers 100% of the electricity needs with renewable sources. The first large production facilities in China also operate entirely on green electricity.
The company is equally committed to utilising waste heat. Excess heat from production processes, cooling systems, and data centres is recovered and used as a low carbon heat source through intelligent control technology, heat pumps, and – where possible – district heating networks, avoiding the need to generate additional energy.
Globally, Danfoss is targeting CO2 neutrality across all business areas by 2030, with 80% of products designed to be circular by that time.
The Nordborg headquarters reached carbon neutrality in 2022. Heat pumps, waste heat utilisation, sector coupling, intelligent control technology, and digital energy management are used.
The office building at the Offenbach am Main facility serves as a showcase for energy efficient building technology and a real world application of the company’s own solutions. The Hamburg site in HafenCity operates as a technology and innovation hub for the urban energy transition and heat networks.
