Sustainability

Responsibility within the Company

Looking ahead, becoming better and more efficient – Porsche‘s efforts in this respect do not only focus on the development, production, and sale of highly emotive premium sports cars that inspire our customers around the globe. Already, we – more than any other manufacturer – are linking the fascination of driving a sports car that is so typical for Porsche with resource-efficient mobility. And we are tackling the increasing challenges facing a modern and sustainable automobile manufacturer. Technology leadership always was, and always will be, our goal. We show that efficiency and social responsibility do not have to contradict each other.

Recycling your Electrical goods

Porsche are proud to be members of the national Distributor Takeback Scheme (“DTS”) for WEEE and work with other responsible retailers to reduce the quantity of electrical goods going to landfill sites and improve recovery and recycling rates. The quantity of unused electrical goods is one of the most rapidly growing types of waste in the UK. Electrical goods contain harmful substances which, if unchecked, have the potential to cause contamination, harming human health and damaging the environment. If you see the symbol of a crossed out wheelie bin on your electrical product it serves as a reminder that it can be recycled and should not be thrown in a normal bin. To find your nearest recycling centre for used electrical products and for more information please visit http://www.recycle-more.co.uk or contact your local Council.
