Our sustainability pledge
Construction of our new headquarters in Isernhagen also laid the foundations for our sustainability strategy. The building is equipped with cutting-edge air conditioning technology and carbon-neutral recycled tiling has been laid throughout. We also source our energy exclusively from renewable energy plants, so every kilowatt hour consumed at AUCOTEC HQ is climate neutral. Our purchase of green electricity supports regional projects promoting renewable energies and sustainable climate protection measures. A certificate from our energy supplier confirms that generating the electricity we require in this way releases up to 203 metric tons of CO2 less per year than would be the case with the average electricity mix in Germany.
If our employees don’t travel to work with the bus or train services that stop outside our gates in Isernhagen, they can top up their e-bikes or electric cars climate-neutrally and with a clear conscience from the charging points we have installed. The green energy we use also ensures that we are now much more sustainable in how we do even simple things such as drying our hands; we can now say goodbye to the mountains of paper towels that used to build up each year. To minimize unnecessary energy consumption, AUCOTEC HQ is also fitted with automatic light control systems. Plus, remote working and the digital team-working methods we were already using before covid hit also contribute to climate protection. Indeed, online meetings sometimes mean car journeys – or even flights – can be avoided.
