LignoLoc® wooden nails: save up to 9 percent CO₂ per crate
Made from renewable raw materials, hard-wearing and of the highest quality: AXXUM is the first packaging company in Germany to use beech wood nails in the construction of wooden crates.
For static reasons, the LignoLoc® wooden nails from Beck are mainly used in the air freight sector or for spare parts and small parts boxes with a maximum gross weight of 1.5 tons. Internal tests have shown that the wooden nail can easily keep up with its steel counterpart. And: depending on the packaging material used, you can save up to nine percent CO₂ when building wooden crates compared to steel nails.

AXXUM-CO₂-Calculator
Offset CO₂ emissions - act more sustainably

Every transport of goods, every packaging is associated with CO₂ emissions. With the AXXUM CO₂ calculator, you can now determine how large - or small - the "product carbon footprint" of your order is. Numerous factors are included in the calculation, including the type of crate wood used, fasteners such as screws, nails and steel parts, packaging material, key aspects of logistics such as distance kilometers and diesel consumption.
With the CO₂ calculation, we help you to increase your climate protection efforts and improve your carbon footprint.
Use the value determined by us to offset your CO₂ consumption yourself via projects of your choice. Or you can commission us to offset the calculated value for you: We purchase a certificate on the www.goldstandard.org platform, a so-called emission reduction credit in the amount of your greenhouse gas emissions. The money for the certificate is used to finance climate protection projects that offset the corresponding amount of CO₂ emissions.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations as a roadmap for sustainable development by 2030.
As a first step, we have decided to implement 11 SDGs. You can find a brief overview of each of the individual SDGs here.

No poverty
Fair payment and respect for human rights are at the top of the agenda for the sustainable expansion of jobs and have been firmly anchored in our goals. When selecting our business partners, we also ensure that they are in line with our goals.
Health and well-being
As an employer, we ensure health and safety in the workplace in accordance with legal regulations. Our occupational safety specialists and company doctors are on hand to advise us and ensure that these regulations are complied with.
High-quality education
We believe that sustainable growth can only be achieved if our employees can develop freely and thus continue to grow. We promote this with a range of different training opportunities, among other things. At the same time, we see the future in our trainees and support them in their growth and on their journey into professional life.
Gender equality
In a predominantly male-dominated industry, we are leading by example and steadily increasing the proportion of women in our company. We have already made some progress in the past year.
Affordable and clean energy
We are taking advantage of the development of renewable energies and are already implementing them in the company in the form of various projects. The switch to green electricity shows that an awareness of sustainability can also have economic benefits. The expansion of electric charging points at our sites is a priority and also helps us to use electric vehicles.
Decent work and economic growth
Good, secure jobs and compliance with the minimum wage are top priorities in our company and help us to operate sustainably and grow as a company with the right awareness.
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
With the intention of becoming a driver of innovation in the industry, we are actively addressing the topic of digitalization. To this end, we have created our own department, AXXUM Innovation, which deals exclusively with future topics and drives the AXXUM Group forward.
Fewer inequalities
We foster fair treatment of one another by firmly anchoring this in our corporate culture. At the same time, a high level of diversity is important to us, as it brings out different strengths and thus drives our company's growth.
Sustainable consumption and production
Regionality and fairness are important building blocks in the expansion of our sustainable supplier management. Our motivation is to conserve natural resources. To this end, we have the topic of alternative raw materials on our agenda and are always on the lookout for innovative ways to use new raw materials.
Climate protection measures
We have set ourselves the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2030. We have set up our own sustainability team for this purpose. This team is bringing AXXUM a little closer to its goal every day by implementing various projects. One of these projects is the optimization of the vehicle fleet to e-mobility, which we want to have achieved by 2030.
Partnerships to achieve the goals
Expanding existing partnerships or forging new ones is a major component of our sustainable corporate strategy. Building long-term relationships with customers, suppliers and start-ups is a top priority.
