Reduction of CO2 emissions

We feel responsible for contributing to a climate-neutral world, therefore we want to constantly minimise our own emissions. To achieve this, our electricity consumption, among other things, plays a decisive role.
For this reason, our locations throughout Germany have been sourcing 100% of their electricity from renewable energy since 1 January 2022. This will save us around 2,800 kilograms of CO2 emissions and actively support the energy transition. This step also brings us closer to our goal of switching completely to green energies and contributes to the EU's goal of being climate-neutral by 2040.
