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.

Offsetting CO₂ emissions - acting 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.
We have chosen to implement 11 SDGs as a first step. Each of the individual SDGs can be found here with a brief overview.
No poverty
Fair payment and respect for human rights are at the top of the agenda for the sustainable expansion of jobs and are firmly anchored in our goals. Furthermore, when selecting our business partners, we ensure that they are in line with our goals.
Health and well-being
As an employer, we ensure safety and health protection in the workplace within the framework of statutory provisions. Our occupational safety specialists and company physicians 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 are able to develop freely and thus grow. We promote this, among other things, with a range of different training opportunities. At the same time, we see the future in our apprentices and support them in their growth as well as on their journey into professional life.
Gender Equality
In a predominantly male-dominated industry, we are setting a good 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 sustainable awareness can also have an economic benefit at the same time. The expansion of electric charging stations at our sites is a priority and additionally helps us to use electric vehicles.
Decent work and economic growth
Good and 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 an innovation driver in the industry, we are actively engaged in the topic of digitalization. For this purpose, 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 dealings with each other 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 us forward in our corporate growth.
Sustainable consumption and production
Regionality and fairness are important building blocks in the expansion of our sustainable supplier management. Our motivation is the conservation of 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. For this purpose, we have founded our own sustainability team. This team brings 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 or start-ups is at the forefront of this.
