The Regenerative Factory as a Vision of the Future – Drees & Sommer’s new Thinking Ahead

Today, more than ever, companies face the challenge of reducing their environmental impact and footprint. But it's no longer enough to simply lessen harm; the goal should be to create a positive, lasting contribution. Drees & Sommer is rising to this challenge with its visionary concept of the regenerative factory, powered by the expertise of its leading specialists.

Sustainable factories focus on maintaining the current state and minimizing damage. The regenerative factory goes further, aiming to give back more than it takes. In addition to economic success, it places the greatest possible benefit for the environment and society at the forefront.

Drees & Sommer’s experts in integrated factory planning purposefully incorporate sustainability into consulting and planning projects, guiding clients on their journey to becoming a sustainable organization.

How does the vision of a regenerative factory work and what fields of action does it open up for companies? 

  • A prerequisite for the regenerative factory is CO₂-neutral energy management
  • The regenerative factory requires sustainable water management
  • A smart charging infrastructure is essential for a regenerative factory
  • The regenerative factory relies on sustainable land use and promotes biodiversity
  • The vision assumes an optimized global production footprint
  • The factory of the future demands an efficient and sustainable production process
  • Efficient machines, plants, and equipment are part of the regenerative factory
  • At the core of the regenerative factory: social responsibility
  • The regenerative factory requires data continuity, transparency, and virtual commissioning of facilities
  • Without sustainable products, a regenerative factory cannot function.
