Sustainability
Dethleffs has always seen itself as a friend of the family. And for us, this is not just a slogan, but a tradition that obliges us to take concrete action. It goes without saying that topics such as the careful treatment of the environment, but also the creation and long-term safeguarding of jobs, are practised in the company on a daily basis. We believe that corporate responsibility should not only focus on profitability and sales strength, but also on the protection of our environment. For many years now, we have been supporting projects that conserve environmental resources and promote sustainability.
Destination future - electromobility
Following the e.home motorhome study in 2017, Dethleffs presented the first electrically powered caravan at the 2018 Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. The electric drive for motorised transport is coming. The development can no longer be stopped - it is only a matter of time. That is why it is important for us to get involved in the topic of electromobility now in order to be prepared for the future. The development of environmentally friendly and sustainable drive technologies in the vehicle sector sets a milestone in terms of environmental and climate protection.

Bee project with BeeFuture
It's not just in our production halls that we are hard at work. Just a few metres away, 60,000 new, predominantly female workers have found a job. Two bee colonies are located here and are looked after in cooperation with the company BeeFuture . More than 80 per cent of our native flowering plants depend on pollination by bees and one third of global food production is dependent on bees and other insects. A reason for Dethleffs to stand up for this endangered species and the preservation of biodiversity. Read more about Dethleffs and "beefuture" here
