Corporate Responsibility

As a business, we build for generations and shape living environments – with people and for people. Sustainable action is an important element of our social responsibility and also the foundation of our success. It gives us a competitive advantage and includes all economically, environmentally and socially relevant behaviour.

Due to the high consumption of energy and resources in the construction industry, the impact of these activities on society and the environment is intensive and wide-ranging. This challenge requires global and future-oriented thinking. Stump-Franki Spezialtiefbau GmbH is embracing this responsibility. The foundation for this approach is our “Green and Lean” holistic sustainability strategy, which rests on the three pillars Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). Our main fields of action are derived from the materiality analysis and reflect these three dimensions of sustainability.

As a technology leader in foundation engineering, we are aware of our responsibility. We are constantly working on new solutions and optimizing our processes

As part of our research and development efforts, we are adopting social requirements for special civil engineering and are committed to the development of fully biological building materials in specialist civil engineering.

As early as 2019, the biological soft gel developed by Stump-Franki in a research project was approved for use in Germany. A general type approval has been issued by the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). The main application of the biological soft gel is to manufacture horizontal and vertical seals for construction troughs. The fully organic soft gel, which replaces building materials like cement or chemical components, is the first fully biological building material worldwide that is available for sealing applications. One major advantage of the fully biological soft gel is that it can be injected or pumped directly into the ground. It does not cause any negative changes to the ground water, such as increasing pH values or introducing salts or similar.
