For us, sustainability is part of our everyday lives. We are constantly working to use energy efficiently and reduce our CO₂ emissions.

A key component: We heat our 4,000 m² production facility using a groundwater heat pump. Instead of fossil fuels, we harness the natural energy of groundwater—efficiently and in a way that conserves resources.

We also rely on groundwater for cooling. Large areas are passively cooled in the summer—without any energy-intensive refrigeration.

We have converted most of our lighting to modern LED technology. This reduces energy consumption while providing a long-lasting, efficient solution.

When it comes to packaging, we also make a conscious effort to use resources wisely. Whenever possible, we reuse packaging and reduce plastic to the absolute minimum. In this way, even small steps in our daily work help conserve resources and prevent waste.

We are particularly proud of our solar power system: It generates about 130,000 kWh of solar power per year. With a total electricity demand of about 300,000 to 400,000 kWh, we produce about one-third of the electricity we need ourselves.

And: We use the vast majority of our solar power ourselves. Only a small portion is fed into the public grid. This way, the energy we generate is used directly where it’s needed.


Did you know?

☀️ We generate 130,000 kWh of solar power annually.
⚡ This allows us to generate about one-third of our electricity needs—which range from approximately 300,000 to 400,000 kWh—ourselves.
💧 We heat our 4,000 m² production facility using a groundwater heat pump.
❄️ Large areas are passively cooled using groundwater.
💡 LED lighting also reduces our energy consumption.
♻️ Packaging is reused whenever possible, and plastic use is reduced.

 

🌱 What does this mean for our climate?

With our solar power system, we generate 130,000 kWh of renewable electricity annually and use almost all of it ourselves. This allows us to reduce the amount of electricity we draw from the grid and avoid CO₂ emissions.

Through our self-generated PV electricity alone, we reduce CO₂ emissions by about 20 metric tons per year. Depending on the tree species, age, and location, this is roughly equivalent to the annual CO₂ absorption of 1,000 to 2,000 trees.

This shows: Many individual measures can have a significant impact when taken together.

Heat pumps, passive groundwater cooling, LED lighting, solar power, and a mindful approach to packaging and plastic all work together to make our operations more energy-efficient and climate-friendly, step by step.

Because sustainability begins where we ourselves can make a difference. And that’s exactly where we’ll keep going.
