German Innovation Award 2021 – Nominee

That’s right! We are nominated for the GERMAN INNOVATION AWARD 2021 for our RECYCLED PET PEN PRO series.

The German Innovation Awards honour products and solutions across sectors, which differ from previous solutions mainly by being user-centred and offering added value. They do so because there are innovations in all sectors that shape the future and improve life. Sometimes you see them at first glance – but often not. The German Innovation Awards aim to change that. They make great achievements visible to a wide audience and ensure successful positioning in the market.

We are really excited about the opportunity, and whoever knows uma Schreibgeräte knows that we love a good challenge!

UMA-CERTIFIABLY SUSTAINABLE

Customers are increasingly basing their purchasing decisions not just on quality and price but on how products are manufactured and who is responsible for this process. Unfortunately, responsible corporate behaviour cannot always be taken for granted. That is why we have submitted ourselves to external audit.

EcoVadis is a programme that assesses companies against 21 sustainability criteria. Under the programme, we were compared to 40,000 companies in 110 countries and we are proud to have been awarded a silver medal for 2019. Our CSR performance score came out as above average. Using a scorecard available on the EcoVadis online platform, we can now share our result with our customers and show how we are complying with our CSR obligations. The resulting transparency and credibility help to maintain long-term sustainable behaviour.

Because for a third-generation, family-run company, thinking about the next generation is something we do every day.

uma zdobywa nagrodę PSI Sustainability Award 2017 >

Produktem RECYCLED PET PEN firma uma udowodniła, że wyczerpanie zawartości plastykowej butelki nie musi oznaczać końca jej eksploatacji. Zbieranie, mycie, rozdrabnianie starych butelek PET oraz stapianie powstałego w ten sposób granulatu surowcowego i wlewanie do form: tak z półlitrowej butelki PET powstaje RECYCLED PET PEN: stabilny, trwały i atrakcyjny.

Realizowany w praktyce „upcykling“ specjalisty od artykułów piśmienniczych ze Schwarzwaldu nie tylko udowadnia jego innowacyjny potencjał, lecz stanowi też godny naśladowania przykład działania na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju. Za te osiągnięcia został wyróżniony nagrodą Sustainability Award 2017 w kategorii Sustainable Writing Instruments.

Oto oryginalne brzmienie laudacji: „Udana koncepcja, szczególnie z punktu widzenia koncepcji komunikacji opracowanej wspólnie z firmą Bionade oraz regionalnej tożsamości produktu. Historia sukcesu!“ Dodatkowe informacje na stronie www.psi-awards.de i www.uma-pen.com.
