Moll Group
Where future is built on tradition and innovation
...
Originating from the Munich construction company Leonhard Moll, the Moll Group has evolved into a diversified enterprise with a broad portfolio of investments across industry and real estate. Guided by experience, foresight, enduring values and financial strength, we lay a steady foundation for collective success.
...
We do this through our mineral expertise in construction and industry, as well as responsible developers and managers of real estate. And there’s more: new ideas every single day. The future can build on Moll.
... Building construction and building technology, fire protection in shipbuilding, steel and aluminium industry, electrical and gas heating industry, fireplaces and tiled stoves, and much more.
"As a leading specialist in mineral building protection, we are committed to a future worth living. Cradle to Cradle Certified® confirms that we are already doing justice to this with the vast majority of our products and system solutions." Rüdiger Lugert Managing DirectorKeimfarben
Incoming goods inspection: cement, chippings, prestressing steel - everything is inspected in detail. Fresh and hardened concrete tests ensure the correct consistency and strength.
Sustainability Manager Christoph Bichlmeier sees strategic opportunities in reporting requirements. Here, he speaks about competitive advantages through trust and seemingly minor ideas.
What convinced you to take on the role of Sustainability Manager for the Moll Group?
“It was important to me that the Group’s leadership is intrinsically motivated to drive the topic forward. Xaver Moll said: We are a family business; we think in generations …
… He emphasised that they are fully aware that, in terms of sustainability, they are not yet where they would like to be. That convinced me. Many companies would prefer to present themselves as further advanced than they actually are. What matters is commitment.”
“We have strong foundations, as most of our products have always made a positive contribution to the environment and to society – long before sustainability became a widely used term.”
“In Switzerland, there is a building that was painted with KEIM more than 100 years ago. Such durability in a mineral, nature-based product is hard to surpass in terms of environmental responsibility.”
“We too still have considerable work to do when it comes to decarbonising our manufacturing processes. Our subsidiaries are already making convincing progress in this area, for example by installing photovoltaic systems on production halls.”
Why are the new reporting requirements an opportunity?
“As the Moll Group, we can only benefit from greater transparency and comparability, as we have a great deal to offer in the field of sustainability. This will also provide us with competitive advantages.”
“We should always keep an open mind, even when suggestions initially appear small or insignificant (…). Across the breadth of the Moll Group, this creates a powerful lever for change.”
"Concrete sleepers are the backbone of the railway network and the transport revolution. It is a high priority for us to make your production more environmentally friendly too."Andrea Benincasa, CEO of the LM Betonwerke Group
