Social responsibility
NORRES Schlauchtechnik has a long history of responsible behaviour towards the society we live in. We frequently participate in activities that benefit charitable organisations. We are extremely keen to support projects that help the socially disadvantaged, especially when they involve children. We also make an active contribution towards environmental protection.
NORRES Schlauchtechnik makes regular donations to “Noah's Ark”, a charity that describes itself as “a children’s hospice in the region and for the region”. The Ark’s concept, which is the only one of its kind anywhere in Germany, defines two main functions: to offer a haven for incurably ill children and to act as a short-term care centre for youngsters with severe disabilities. The aim is to assist the families concerned by providing professional care and respite for children and teenagers in the Noah's Ark centre. NORRES traditionally makes a donation to this deserving cause at Christmas.
At NORRES, all people are equal. All our staff benefit from the same opportunities. Their ethnic origin, religion, social background, age, sex or disabilities are considered to be irrelevant. NORRES maintains close links with a centre for handicapped people. Disabled staff carry out their work directly on the NORRES site and are therefore fully integrated in the life of the company.
The sustainable use of natural resources is firmly entrenched in NORRRES Schlauchtechnik's daily work processes. The move to our new “Am Stadthafen” facility coincided with extensive investments in eco-friendly production and HVAC technologies. Efficient insulation, double glazing, centrally controlled air conditioning with water chillers and production utilising heat recovery mean optimal protection for the environment. Since taking possession of the new and completely refurbished plant at the port of Gelsenkirchen in 2009, NORRES has succeeded in reducing the consumption of water, electricity and heating fuel dramatically – despite an almost fourfold increase in floor space.

HeyAlter! - Turn old into new!
Laptops, computers or tablets are urgently needed in the context of home schooling and e-learning - by students who do not have their own computers, because: Digital lessons only work effectively in their implementation if every child has a terminal device at their disposal. Hey Alter! makes sure they get one and NORRES is actively involved!
NORRES supports the project Hey Alter!
The basic idea of the Hey Alter! project is as simple as its implementation: children and young people whose families cannot afford their own devices for digital lessons are provided with computers, laptops or tablets. Hey Alter! is committed to ensuring that no student is excluded from digital lessons due to a lack of technical equipment. Discarded but still functional hardware is donated by companies, institutions and private households, made fit again and then distributed via the schools to children and young people who previously could not participate in digital lessons at all or only to a limited extent. The NORRES Group joins in and donates discarded but still functional hardware to the organization Hey Alter! and thus makes an active contribution to digital education.
