ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The key goal of environmental and climate protection is to conserve resources and encourage a conscious approach to nature. The goal of everyone is healthy ecology. With this shared goal in mind, we have invested in several sustainable measures in recent years. Our journey to the future is accompanied by consistent reflection. As such, new measures are added all the time.

Here are some of the measures we have already implemented:

• Conversion of all our lighting in Mäder (AT) and Magdeburg (GER) to LED → 80 percent saving in lighting energy
• Heating in Mäder (AT) with biogas produced at a local composting plant; conversion to a heat pump in 2022, as in Magdeburg (GER)
• Electrically-operated forklift truck; current conversion to energy-saving lithium-ion technology
• A photovoltaic power plant at our location in Mäder (AT) covers half of our requirement for energy, in Magdeburg (GER) twice as much; we only purchase green electricity; surpluses are fed into the public energy grid
• State-of-the-art stretch films to secure loads → avoidance of 100 tonnes of plastic waste per year
• We mainly organise our own transport services; this and other measures, such as the optimum utilisation of pallets, avoids thousands of HGV journeys
