Certifications and ratings

Numerous certifications and ratings demonstrate Zeppelin’s success in the environmental, economic, and social areas:

Integrated Management System (IMS) according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and ISO 45001

The Integrated Management System at Zeppelin aims to ensure continuous improvement for the certified areas of occupational health and safety, environmental protection, energy and quality management, and to create uniform standards and a common documentation basis within the scope of the IMS. The IMS was certified for the first time for all German Group companies in 2019 and retested in 2022 as part of the recertification process, which takes place every three years. In the 2023 reporting year, a monitoring audit was carried out by our external certifier, in which the effectiveness of our energy management system (ISO 50001) in Germany and the national companies in the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden and Denmark was confirmed. An external audit also attested to Zeppelin’s high standards in Germany in the areas of environmental management (ISO 14001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), and quality management (ISO 9001). The certificates can be viewed on the Zeppelin website in the sustainability section.

Certification by the “berufundfamilie audit”

For years, Zeppelin has been committed to providing all employees with an environment that enables them to balance their professional and private lives. This is why Zeppelin has been awarded the “audit berufundfamilie” seal for the third time. The distinction includes Management Holding Zeppelin GmbH and the German companies of the Construction Equipment Germany & Austria, Rental, Power Systems, and Plant Engineering strategic business units, including Zeppelin Lab. The numerous initiatives and measures provided were positively incorporated into the assessment.
