At our company, sustainability is not about standing still – it’s about purposeful progress. While we have experienced growth in recent years, our energy consumption has notably declined.

Over the past five years alone, we have reduced our energy usage by more than 27% – a testament to what can be achieved when efficiency and responsibility go hand in hand.

We have also made substantial progress in reducing our heating requirements: Since 2021, we have lowered our gas consumption by more than 30%. This achievement was not the result of major investments, but rather of conscious, collective action in our daily routines. Initiatives such as transitioning to a four-day workweek, offering flexible remote work options, and raising awareness among employees – supported by a few strategically placed reminders on thermostats – played a key role.

At the same time, we are increasingly investing in renewable energy. Our photovoltaic systems now make a valuable contribution to our self-sufficiency by supplying clean electricity – straight from the roof into our daily operations.

For us, one thing is clear: economic success and climate protection are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary – they are closely interconnected.

On March 28, 2025, it was time once again: the second edition of Azubi For Future took place in the Wiebelbach industrial area – and of course, we were there too. Together with seven other companies from the area, we offered young people exciting insights into a variety of apprenticeships and dual study programs. We were especially pleased to welcome one more company as a new participant this year, a clear sign of how well the event was received the year before.

Experience professions up close

The idea behind Azubi For Future is simple but powerful: visitors get the chance to experience everyday work life in different companies, take a look behind the scenes, and connect directly with the people who work there. In addition to our training teams, our current apprentices were also on site to answer questions and share first-hand experiences. The event didn’t just showcase traditional apprenticeships, but also highlighted a wide range of dual study opportunities.

Our contribution – interactive, informative, and engaging

We made sure to offer a well-rounded experience at our company once again this year. Visitors could explore a career decision aid, designed to help them discover which profession might suit them best, along with conversation cards to make it easier to get talking. Our robotic arm was a real eye-catcher – it stamped the visitors’ contest cards automatically.

We also set up an interactive code puzzle, where participants could uncover interesting facts about our company in a playful way. One of the major highlights was the guided company tour, taking guests through our production area, warehouse, administration, and Democenter. We offered in-depth, hands-on explanations of our machines and their components – a real behind-the-scenes experience designed to inform and inspire.

Final stop: the checkpoint and prize draw

The event concluded at the central checkpoint, where visitors could enjoy refreshments, tasty food, and take part in the grand prize draw. Anyone who had collected at least five stamps from participating companies could drop off their contest card for a chance to win. The top prize was an e-scooter, followed by a stand-up paddle board and a Bluetooth speaker.

Thank you to everyone who took part

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped make this event a success – from the organizers and participating companies to all the visitors who joined us and got involved. We’re already looking forward to the next Azubi For Future and hope to welcome many curious young minds to SEHO again soon.

Sustainable change, real innovation: SEHO Systems GmbH from Kreuzwertheim continues to write the success story of the 4-day workweek. This modern working time model was successfully introduced for production and warehousing back in 2022. Now the administration and technical departments are following suit from 2025 – and SEHO is once again proving that entrepreneurial success and a modern working culture go hand in hand.

At a time when the shortage of skilled workers is presenting many companies with challenges, SEHO is focusing on a strategy that puts people first. The working week is reduced to 37 hours – spread over four working days, with full pay compensation. “We have already noticed after the introduction in 2022 that our productivity has not deteriorated despite the reduced working hours. On the contrary, it has actually increased,” explains Managing Director Markus Walter. Larissa Hepp, Head of Human Resources at SEHO, also emphasizes that the 4-day workweek concept has met with a positive response: “The number of sick days and the fluctuation rate in the affected departments remain at a low level and even show a significant improvement compared to previous values.”

A model with many advantages

The introduction of the 4-day workweek not only serves to increase the company’s attractiveness as an employer, but also contributes to a better work-life balance. More free time for employees also means more energy and motivation for work. In addition to these social aspects, the model is also environmentally friendly: fewer working days mean fewer commutes and therefore a reduction in CO₂ emissions.

Successful pilot project as a role model

SEHO launched the 4-day workweek in production and the warehouse back in 2022 – and the experience has been consistently positive. Rotating working hours meant that important processes such as deliveries and production were also ensured on the “days off”. The same degree of care has now been taken in planning the implementation in the administration and technical areas. “Our employees wanted more flexibility and modern working models – and we are proud to be following this path consistently,” adds Larissa Hepp.
