Our contribution to the protection of the environment and the climate
For more than 20 years, we have been using a powerful solar system to heat water in our company. For about 5 years we have been operating several photovoltaic systems to support the power supply in a CO2-neutral way. Through the complete thermal renovation of the building, the installation of highly insulated windows as well as the use of ultra-modern heating systems, heat pumps and heat recovery in all cooling and ventilation systems, our operation has been further modernized, optimized and brought up to the current state of the art. In addition, all light sources were converted to energy-saving LED technology.
The majority of our company vehicles are purely electric and can also be used privately by our employees. Charging via our in-house photovoltaic system is a matter of course.
Naturally, we are paying increasing attention to regionality and rely on seasonal products from our farmers in Tyrol and Austria. Every avoidance of transport routes contributes to the improvement of our environment. Furthermore, the waste is separated and sorted according to the Austrian "ARA" in order to save resources and raw materials and to reduce residual waste.
