A successful company not only demonstrates a strong internal focus, but also takes responsibility for the environment. Environmental protection and resource conservation have therefore been an integral part of our philosophy for more than 30 years and have been strengthened as well as further advanced by many measures in recent years.
We plan, monitor, and evaluate our processes with regard to their environmental relevance. As early as 1999 we were able to obtain the DIN EN ISO 14001 certification. Even 2 years after the publication of the energy management standard DIN EN ISO 50001 in 2013 we have applied for and obtained certification. These are an essential part of our business activities along with the quality management system.

All of us – the management and employees of JUMO GmbH & Co. KG – have for many years been aware of our responsibility to protect people and the environment. This applies to our private surroundings as well as within our company.
Ensuring that energy-efficient JUMO products also use little energy in their manufacture is an important contribution to climate protection and the conservation of natural resources. For this reason, we have consistently installed a system in recent years to monitor our energy consumption within the company and to improve the energy efficiency of our processes.
The amount of energy used by JUMO in the manufacture of our products is so low that in 2020 we decided to replace the energy management system according to DIN EN ISO 50001 with an energy audit according to DIN EN 16247. We will carry out an energy audit in accordance with the deadline of May 28, 2024. Until then the last certificate of the surveillance audit of the energy management system is considered a fictitious energy audit according to the statements of the German Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA).
JUMO uses solar energy with its own photovoltaic system.
As a founding member of the Hesse Environmental Alliance, JUMO is also involved in the dialog between business and the administration level to make operational environmental protection as efficient as possible. Like the Environmental Alliance, JUMO pursues 6 main objectives:
• Creating an attractive framework for Hesse as a business location
• Strengthening the personal responsibility of Hessian companies
• Ensuring a high environmental standard for the federal state
• Reducing environmental legislation to the necessary level
• Aligning environmental policy in a cooperative and sustainable fashion
• Supporting environmental and climate protection in local communities
The wonderful Rhön region right at our doorstep: this we want to preserve and we want to preserve it worldwide!
Nowadays, sustainable operations are indispensable. The Hesse sustainability strategy has given the German state of Hesse an established platform on which different groups of society such as companies, municipalities, and schools can collaborate.
Among other aspects, the aim is to get at least 100 companies to commit to greater climate protection and present their activities and plans for CO2 reduction in an action plan. For nearly 12 years, JUMO has documented its commitment to environmental protection with its management system according to DIN EN ISO 14001.
It was therefore only logical for JUMO to also sign the charter for climate protection in order to demonstrate that JUMO will continue to give high priority to the conservation of resources and thus protection of the climate.
As a supplier of measurement and control technology, our solutions were rated as control and monitoring devices for commercial use (B2B) by stiftung ear in 2005 (Register no. 92688874).
In accordance with the foundation's guidelines, we comply with all legal requirements regarding registration, returns, disposal, and recycling as well as volume notifications and reporting to the authorities.
As a packaging manufacturer subject to system participation, JUMO complies with the requirements of the Packaging Act §9, which has been in force since January 01, 2019. This includes the obligation to register with the "Zentralen Stelle Verpackungsregister – ZSVR" (Central Packaging Register) as well as the participation in one of the dual systems in Germany.
ZSVR registration number JUMO: DE 1913076530788
We will gladly take back JUMO packaging and recycle it. The costs incurred for shipping are to be borne by the sender.
In accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment, JUMO offers the option of returning waste equipment. We expressly point out that, in accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, programs and data stored on the devices must be deleted beforehand for data protection reasons.
Please register the return of waste equipment by email: umweltsicherheit@jumo.net. The transport costs of the return shipment shall be borne by the sender.
The mental and physical health of our employees is our top priority. We therefore attach great importance to the safe design of our workplaces and processes. Also, we ensure compliance with all legal regulations on occupational safety and health. These include avoiding work-related hazards and minimizing SGA risks by implementing effective prevention and protective measures. After all, only continuous improvement in occupational safety enables adaptation to changes in the working world.
In this context, our management system for occupational safety & health protection was merged with the already established management systems for quality, environment, and energy to form an integrated management system in 2023.
Since 1999 JUMO has committed itself to environmental protection through the certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001. Beyond the legal requirements, JUMO undertakes numerous activities – particularly in the area of development and production – to avoid the use of hazardous substances in our products as well as in their manufacturing and to conserve finite resources.
The EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS II), which came into force in June 2011 and was implemented in Germany by the Regulation on Materials for Electrical and Electronic Equipment, divides electrical and electronic equipment into various categories. JUMO's product range was previously defined in Group 9 "Industrial Monitoring and Control Devices" and was excluded from the RoHS Directive.
Since July 22, 2017 this exception has ceased to apply without a replacement. All products are now fully covered by the applicable RoHS directives and are legally RoHS compliant.
Large parts of the product range also include a CE identification marking. However, despite RoHS conformity, the sensors, for example, do not fulfill the requirements for a CE identification marking in accordance with an EU declaration of conformity since they are components.
Upon request, we will also be happy to confirm on a product-related basis that the devices in question comply with the RoHS directives and, if applicable, with the EU declaration of conformity.
Mit REACH ist am 1.6.2007 ein neues, europaweit geltendes Chemikalienrecht in Kraft getreten, das Hersteller und Importeure von Chemikalien in die Verantwortung für den sicheren Umgang mit ihren Stoffen nimmt. Auch die nachgeschalteten Anwender sind von dieser Vereinbarung betroffen.
Unsere Geräte werden im Kontext der halbjährlichen Aktualisierungen der REACH-Kandidatenliste (SVHC) fortlaufend geprüft und die Informationen aktualisiert. Falls Substanzen, die in der aktuellen REACH-Verordnung als "SVHC - Substances of Very High Concern" aufgeführt sind, in unseren Produkten die zulässigen Grenzwerte überschreiten sollten, werden wir gemäß Artikel 33 der EU-Chemikalienverordnung 1907/2006 unsere Kunden umgehend darüber informieren.
Auf Anfrage an materialcompliance@jumo.net bestätigen wir gerne, dass bestimmte Geräte die derzeit gültige REACH-Verordnung erfüllen.
Als Lieferant für verschiedene US-Unternehmen sind wir dazu verpflichtet, alle relevanten gesetzlichen Bestimmungen und Vorschriften einzuhalten. Gemäß dem "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act" müssen Unternehmen, die an US-amerikanischen Börsen gelistet sind, die Herkunft von "Konfliktmineralien" wie Zinn, Tantal, Wolfram, Gold und deren Erze aus den Gebieten in und um die Demokratische Republik Kongo/Afrika offenlegen. Auf Anfrage unter materialcompliance@jumo.net stellen wir Ihnen gerne alle notwendigen Informationen zur Verfügung.
