Sustainability
at REISER
Safe training that protects the environment
For us as a family business, sustainability is an important part of acting responsibly and with an eye on the future. We understand sustainability as a whole, which means looking not only at the environment but also at social responsibility and good corporate governance.
With our first sustainability report for 2025 we want to show transparently where we stand today, which activities and measures are already in place and which topics we want to work on further, from energy and emissions through working conditions to the safety of our products.
What is material for us
Our first sustainability report follows the VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for non-listed SME), the voluntary reporting standard for small and medium-sized companies, and focuses on the three central topic areas of environment, social and governance. In internal workshops we identified the topics relevant to us in these three areas and prioritized them by importance using a materiality matrix. Each topic was assessed from two perspectives: its significance for our business and the impact of our business activity on the environment and society.
Focus topics 2025
Six material topics form the core of our first sustainability report, balanced across the areas of environment, social and governance. For each topic we state why it matters to us, where we stand and which goals we see. The work is driven by many motivated employees and by our Green Team, which brings together people from different departments.
Energy & emissions
684,414 kWh of energy consumption and 461.77 t CO2e in Scope 1 and 2: in 2025 we recorded our emissions systematically for the first time. A wood chip heating system replaces oil, and green electricity follows from 2026.
Durability, safety & quality
Our training systems are designed for 10 to 25 years of use, and the first PC-21 cockpits are still in training service after 20 years. 96% of all assemblies pass the first test.
Working conditions
Around 250 employees, 7.5% turnover, hourly wages 11% above the national average. The annual employee survey sets the priorities, most recently with 82% participation.
Employee development
5.51 training hours per person per year, 13 apprentices and 2 dual study students: competency management and e-learning make strengths visible and develop them in a targeted way.
Data & cyber security
An information security management system to ISO/IEC 27001 anchors cyber and data security systematically across the company. Certification is planned by the end of 2026.
Responsible corporate governance
Code of conduct, continuous improvement process, 85% of suppliers from Germany: responsibility is the basis of what we do.
We want to develop a clear structure in order to advance this topic systematically over the long term.
FAQ
Answers to the most frequent questions about sustainability at REISER. All details are in the Sustainability Report 2025.
How does simulator training contribute to sustainability?
+
One flight hour in the real H145D3 produces as many emissions as 143 hours in our full flight simulator. With a training volume of around 3,000 hours per year, our customers save about 1,886 metric tons of CO2 annually.
Which standard does REISER use to report on sustainability?
+
Our report follows the VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs) and covers the topic areas of environment, social and governance, whose material topics were defined on the basis of a double materiality assessment. In addition, we have our performance rated externally by the sustainability platform EcoVadis.
How does REISER contribute to climate protection?
+
Switching from oil to a wood chip heating system lowers the CO2 emissions of our heat supply, and from 2026 we will source green electricity. As a next step we are improving our data collection and, in the long term, want to address Scope 3 emissions such as business travel, waste and transport.
