    A LETTER FROM OUR CEO

    Dear Companions,

    On 1 August 1874, Johann Vaillant established his own small craft business in Remscheid. In doing so, he laid the foundation stone for our family business, which today operates worldwide.

    In 2024, Vaillant is the world's leading heating manufacturer. Our heat pumps and gas appliances are among the most reliable and innovative appliances in the industry and, in line with our corporate vision, we are taking care of a better climate. Inside each home and the world around it. We are celebrating our anniversary - 150 years of Vaillant - under the motto "The Future of Heating".

    On behalf of the entire company, I would like to thank our specialist partners in the trade, our suppliers and the many customers around the world who rely on our heating technology and our service for the trusting and, in many cases, decades-long cooperation.

    With best regards,

    Dr.-Ing. Norbert Schiedeck, CEO Vaillant Group

    OUR CORPORATE VALUES

    Our employees pursue our values with the same enthusiasm as our founder Johann Vaillant once did. Every day, they are dedicated to our customers, business partners and sustainability. With courage, passion and trust that inspires others and ourselves. And with technological excellence to master today's challenges.
TECHNOLOGICAL EXCELLENCE

Driving the heating transition for 150 years.

of the heating energy generated by the heat pump is obtained from freely available environmental heat, meaning from the air, water or earth.

Bringing comfort to every home – that has been our mission for 150 years.

But the way we do it changes constantly because innovation and technological excellence is part of our long tradition. Today, we are developing energy-efficient and sustainable products for heating, cooling and hot water supply. By leading the way in three key technologies, we make it possible for everyone to drive the future of heating. For a greener and more sustainable lifestyle – exactly what our founder Johann Vaillant strived for 150 years ago.

Warmth for every home.
HEAT PUMPS
Heating homes more sustainably through heat pump innovation.
In addition to our 150th anniversary, we are celebrating one thing in particular: using environmental energy to heat your home – and modernising it at the same time. Heat pumps take in ambient heat from the air, the soil or groundwater to heat homes. This means you get up to 75% of heat directly from renewable sources. No matter whether a home, like us, is 150 years old or is just being built: we have the right heating solution for every home. And if you operate your heat pump exclusively with green electricity, no greenhouse gas emissions are caused.

HYBRID HEATING
A smart addition for a more eco-friendly mix.
More independence, fewer emissions: with hybrid heating you can utilise multiple energy sources including renewable energies. Hybrid heating combines two different heating systems: for example a traditional gas boiler and a heat pump. While the heat pump will take care of daily needs the boiler will cover peak loads. This enables you to tackle more challenging modernisations – and do something good for the environment at the same time.
Uses less gas and more energy from the environment
Lower emissions thanks to the efficient combination of different heating technologies

HEATING WITH HYDROGEN
A potential heating solution for years to come.
Hydrogen is a future potential alternative to fossil fuels which might be used to heat houses and power cars. Best of all, the 'green' method of production to create hydrogen produces no CO2 emissions. In the UK, we are still awaiting Government legislation as to whether hydrogen will be a viable solution for home heating.
Utilises existing infrastructure
Transportable and storable due to its ability to assume different aggregate states

VAILLANT PLANTS
The future at work.
The development of heating solutions for the future began 150 years ago in a small workshop in Remscheid, Germany. We are proud that we are continuously expanding our production to do what we love. Today in focus: high-efficient heat pumps and gas condensing technology. With a total of 11 production facilities in Europe and China, we have managed to build up an efficient production network, close to the respective sales market. Our production capacity of well over half a million heat pumps per year means that we are ready to meet the growing demand for our high-quality and sustainable heating solutions.

SUSTAINABILITY AT VAILLANT

Doing good for 150 years for a better tomorrow.

We have been innovating for decades but today it's more important than ever that we innovate to make our lives more sustainable. With our heating technology, we want to set the right pathway for the future. For our customers, for the environment, for our employees and the society.
Our goal for sustainable change: halving our CO2 emissions
by 2030
to better protect people and the climate.
THE SEEDS SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME

We are growing - and so is our responsibility.

Sustainability permeates our entire company and drives every step we take. With the SEEDS sustainability programme, we are growing a wide variety of initiatives and, together with our employees and partners, ensuring a better future for us all.
  1. SUSTAINABILITY IN THE ENVIRONMENT:

    We actively protect the climate.

    We set ourselves the goal of halving our own CO2 emissions by 2030. We achieve this by reducing energy consumption in production processes and buildings, investing in a sustainable vehicle fleet and using 100% electricity from renewable energy sources. We offset the remaining emissions through certificates from high quality afforestation projects.

  2. SUSTAINABILITY IN OUR EMPLOYEES:

    We are the employer of choice

    Our employees form the foundation and soul of the Vaillant Group. With their commitment, ideas and hard work, we became a globally leading heating technology company. The personal and professional development of our employees is encouraged through individual training programmes. As a result, we prioritise internal backfilling of management positions of our team. In addition, we have a clear goal for workplace safety: zero workplace accidents.

  3. SUSTAINABILITY IN DEVELOPMENT & SOLUTIONS:

    We aim to create more sustainable products to take care of a better climate

    As a leading supplier of heat pumps, we think of sustainability as a whole: from sustainable materials in manufacturing to comprehensive digital services to improve energy consumption.

  4. SUSTAINABILITY IN SOCIETY:

    We assume social responsibility

    The ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact form the basis of our business activities. We are committed to environmental and social standards in our own business operations and among our suppliers.

SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGE

Because every child needs a warm home.

Vaillant and SOS Children's Villages worldwide are linked by an international partnership. The family-owned company has been supporting the children's rights organization in over 20 countries since 2013: with modern, energy-saving heating technology and creative social projects. The numerous initiatives we have been able to implement together so far make us proud – and we look forward to many more to follow.

OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH WWF

Because a green future needs strong partners.

Sustainability is very important to Vaillant. That's why we entered a partnership with WWF in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland. Our common goal: to protect the climate and drive forward the heating transition.
  1. 1

    Raise awareness for better heating.

    Together with WWF we want to draw attention to the importance and potential of eco-friendly heating with heat pump technology. Because outdated appliances contribute a significant amount of our yearly carbon emissions. With a modernisation to an eco-friendly heat pump you can cut carbon emissions and make a difference too.

  2. 2

    Protect the environment.

    As a sustainable organisation we care about the climate and a healthy ecosystem. That’s why we support a growing number of WWF projects to protect biodiversity. For example, two projects to conserve rivers in Germany and Poland.

  3. 3

    Starting with us.

    With the support of the WWF Germany, we are also continuing to develop our sustainability programme SEEDS. Our initial focus is on reducing greenhouse gases in the company's operations. And we are also anchoring targets and measures for the protection of biodiversity in our sustainability strategy.
