Donate from our social fund
20.12.2019
Also this year, social institutions from the "Kummenberg region" (Vorarlberg, AT) received support from our company's social fund.
This is endowed with € 100,000 annually and is intended for the strokes of fate of our employees and their families. If our employees do not make full use of this, we are happy to pass the money on to social institutions or to people with fatalities in our region.
This year, among others, the Mäder Schulheim (all-day school and therapy center for children with disabilities) and the Lichtblicke Altach organization were supported with a total of € 65,000 from our solidarity fund for their exemplary work.

CO2 footprint
20.11.2019
We have been able to further reduce the CO2 emissions generated at our plant this year.
The biggest savings this year came from the conversion of the building heating system at our headquarters in Mäder. Here, natural gas was converted to "Vorarlberger Biogas", which is produced from organic waste (Häusle in Lustenau - Vorarlberg, AT).
Further savings:
- The lights at our logistics centres in Mäder (AT) and Magdeburg (DE) have been converted to energy-saving LED.
- At our sites in Mäder (AT) and Magdeburg (DE) we use only eco-electricity.
- At the logistics centre in Magdeburg, we commissioned a new photovoltaic system in 2018, which will produce approx. 750,000 kWh of electricity annually. This plant generates more electricity than we ourselves need. We supply the surplus energy to the public power grid.
- Work has also begun at our branch in Mäder on the construction of a photovoltaic system. The first phase of the construction has been completed and already covers about a quarter of our annual electricity requirement (100,000 kWh). The 2nd construction phase is already in progress. After completion of the construction work, the plant will be able to produce approx. 200,000 kWh.
The amount of CO2 emissions that we could not avoid was neutralized again, as in the previous year, by high-quality climate certificates.

4th Energy Efficiency Network Vorarlberg
16.4.2019

Under the direction of the Vorarlberger Kraftwerke AG (VKW), 13 leading Vorarlberg companies joined together to form the 4th Energy Efficiency Network Vorarlberg. We are one of these companies and proud to participate in this important project.
Based on experiences in Switzerland and Germany, the first energy efficiency network in Austria was launched in Vorarlberg in 2012. The main objective of the project is to discover and implement economic energy-saving potential at the participating companies. In this way, it was not only possible to reduce operating energy costs, but also to reduce CO2 emissions, thus making an active contribution to local and regional climate protection. The network sees itself as a cooperation and networking platform for the economy in Vorarlberg and is accompanied by the Research Association for Energy Economics in Munich.
For a long time the Vorarlberg companies, and also us, have made great efforts for a steady increase in energy efficiency. In addition to participating in the energy efficiency network, we are also a member of the Climate Neutrality Alliance 2025 and contribute significantly to climate protection thanks to the use of renewable energy from our own photovoltaic system.
