Format Productions is a shared venture of people who love paper. We create and produce a wide range of paper formats that provide lasting inspiration. Our paper ranges and brands are a supportive foundation for education, organisation and creativity – tailored to the needs of the people who use them.

At our development and production sites in Germany and Austria, we think and act with foresight. With over 130 employees, we create paper formats every day as a starting point for learning, growth, organisation and creativity. Because for so many things: it started with a piece of paper …

Energy

Energy plays a central role in our lives – including for us as an industrial manufacturer. Without energy, all our machines would come to a standstill. Where this energy comes from matters a great deal to us: on the one hand, we draw electricity directly from our photovoltaic system; on the other, we rely on purchased electricity from hydropower. In this way, we make deliberate choices about our energy sources.

climate neutratility

We endeavour to keep our carbon dioxide footprint as small as possible: In recent years, we have laid the foundations for a company that is as climate-friendly as possible with a comprehensive energy efficiency project. The conscious choice of our energy sources is essential here. We offset the unavoidable amount of CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere by supporting global climate protection projects.

The certification by Climate Partner confirms that these efforts are bearing fruit: it shows that the Format Werk & Staufen Group not only reduces its own emissions, but also fulfils all the requirements of a modern, climate-friendly company in terms of offsetting.

photovoltaics

The power of the sun as an inexhaustible energy source has occupied us for several years. Thanks to continuous investment in expanding the photovoltaic system on our company building, we now generate 45% of our electricity needs ourselves.

This lowers our operating costs and at the same time reduces the electricity we draw from fossil sources. With every ray of sunshine that hits our panels, we move a step closer to this goal.

Lehre in der Format Werk Staufen Gruppe.

“Man soll sich nicht schlafen legen, ohne sagen zu können, dass man an dem Tage etwas gelernt hätte.” (Georg Christoph Lichtenberg)

Unsere Lehrlinge werden umsichtig durch ihre Lehrzeit begleitet – dafür haben wir ein Patenprogramm entwickelt: Ehemalige Lehrlinge stehen als Ansprech- und Vertrauensperson zur Verfügung. 

Fortbildungen stehen an der Tagesordnung, das Kennenlernen des gesamten Betriebs und aller relevanten Abteilung ist hier selbstverständlich.

Jeder Lehrling in der Produktion verfügt über eine eigene Werkbank.

Bei Bedarf unterstützen wir vor Kursen und Prüfungen mit Nachhilfeprogrammen.

Digital accessibility

To ensure that the content on our website is accessible to as many people as possible, we design our company website to be barrier-free: rich colours, easy-to-understand language, a clear structure and responsive design help to create an inclusive digital environment.

Accessibility in the digital space is an essential aspect of providing everyone with equal access to information and services. However, in our endeavours to achieve maximum accessibility on our website, we sometimes encounter technical challenges. One example of this is full screen reader support. While we endeavour to make text content and navigation elements fully accessible, there may be limitations with complex graphics or interactive animations.

We are aware that the development towards a fully accessible platform is an ongoing process. That’s why we value the feedback and comments from people who rely on web accessibility. Your input is essential for us to make our website as inclusive as possible.

social commitment

Social projects are a particular concern for us. Together with our cooperation partners, we support equal opportunities and access to education. We are especially committed to children and young people, because social inequality often affects them the most. In 2022, for example, we launched a donation campaign for Ukrainian schoolchildren in Austria, providing them with a total of 35,000 school exercise books.

compliance

Honesty and transparency are fundamental values in our company. In addition to binding legal principles, we also expect ethically impeccable behaviour in order to ensure smooth cooperation – both internally and with customers and service providers. Our code of conduct serves as a guideline in this regard.
Compliance is achieved through a clear commitment to acting with integrity on the part of the management and responsible behaviour on the part of all employees.

quality

Recycled paper is no longer coarse or grey. With a high level of whiteness and a pleasant feel, our recycled paper is in no way inferior in quality to paper made from virgin fibre. Every school notebook, every college pad and all our other products made from recycled paper offer a fine texture and a comfortable writing experience. In this way, we combine high product quality with the consistent use of recycled paper.

Circular economy

To reduce the environmental impact of our production, we keep products and materials in a closed loop wherever possible. This means we reuse and recycle resources to minimise the need for new raw materials and to reduce waste. In this way, we are closing the loop for paper products step by step.
