Environmental Protection

This commitment has led us to establish an environmental management system based on DIN EN ISO 14001, aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of our production processes and continuously improving environmental protection. All employees at Hirsch KG share a strong commitment to the sustainable and careful use of resources, striving to avoid unnecessary emissions and reduce waste.

Protecting the environment is a fundamental part of our mindset and actions. We are proud to take responsibility for our living environment and future generations. Since 2009, Hirsch has been a pioneer in combined heat and power generation in the surrounding area. Thanks to the waste heat from the Heuschmann family’s biogas plant, we now require hardly any additional heating oil, which is a significant benefit to the environment. Another step toward energy efficiency is the use of LED technology for lighting in our newly designed canteen and training area.

Social Commitment


Social commitment to clubs and people in our community has always been especially important to us, just as it was to our company founder, Mr. Georg Hirsch.

Today, it is vital for companies to support local clubs and organizations. We must think about the future: many clubs and social institutions face increasing challenges due to declining numbers of active members and volunteers. Yet, these institutions play a crucial role in maintaining the attractiveness of our communities and fostering social cohesion from childhood onward.

We prioritize supporting young people through concrete projects. Our support extends to sports clubs, volunteer fire departments, the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW), other relief organizations, and cultural activities.

We are proud to regularly support the following institutions (partially):

  • Kindergartens in Marktredwitz and Brand near Marktredwitz
  • Schools in Marktredwitz and Brand near Marktredwitz
  • Otto Hahn High School Friends Association
  • Brand Youth Center
  • Volunteer Fire Departments in Wölsau, Wölsauerhammer, Brand/Haingrün, and Marktredwitz
  • DLRG (German Life Saving Association)
  • BRK (Bavarian Red Cross)
  • Sports clubs in Marktredwitz and the surrounding area
  • Various village community projects
  • Church and charitable institutions
  • Auenpark Friends Association
  • Support for choirs and the Marktredwitz Brass Band
