The price of greatness is responsibility
We work in an industry that generates power from sunlight, a renewable energy that protects the basis for life: a sound environment. But the responsibility we bear goes a lot further. Because of this, it is not only important WHAT we do, but also HOW we do it. That is critical for credibility. And this is why we are especially proud of our zero-emissions production, which has been attested with a certificate from Steinbeis Transfer Centre.
KACO new energy GmbH purchases green electricity from Elektrizitätswerke Schönau and LichtBlick AG. Thus, we not only produce clean power with the Powador inverters - clean power is already incorporated in them during production. The bottom lineis that we produce without emissions. In periods of high solar irradiance, our own photovoltaic systems, with 1,250 kilowatts of power themselves, supply more power than is needed in the plants. The heat for the production plants comes from a wood chip block heating station.
KACO new energy not only generates climate-neutral power itself; according to their proofs of origin, our two certified green energy suppliers also generate power primarily from renewable energy sources, including biomass cogeneration units. Only a small proportion originates from gas-operated cogeneration. No coal-fired or atomic energy is used at KACO new energy.
Our plants are located in the Neckarsulm industrial area known as "Trendpark". Employees travel between the plants using bicycles. There are electric cars available for transportation. Employees who frequently travel on business receive a rail discount card. In order to compensate for emissions caused by business flights taken by employees, KACO new energy also participates in the international myclimate initiative. It supports projects that lead to a direct reduction in greenhouse gases. We received the CSR Mobility Prize for environmentally aware business travel in 2010 from DMM, VCD and B.A.U.M. for this commitment.
