Our Philosophy
For the sake of the environment –
aware of our responsibility
As a service provider in the field of renewable energies, we stand for an energy supply using sustainable and climate-friendly resources. The protection of our environment is our intrinsic drive. We are committed to dealing responsibly with natural resources and promote the use of environmentally friendly technologies.
Active Reduction of environmental impacts
We are however aware that our processes can also have a negative impact on the environment. Keeping this impact as low as possible is our endeavour. We continuously review our processes for their carbon footprint and implement alternative and more resource-efficient approaches.
Climate protection think tank
We ask all employees and managers of Deutsche WindGuard to commit themselves to environmental protection and nature conservation and to actively support our endeavours. To achieve this, we provide our employees with space for creative ideas and sustainable research projects.
The successful implementation of an environmental management system was confirmed by an external certification body in 2024 as part of our ISO 14001 certification.
- We use 100% green electricity, including electricity generated by our own wind energy and photovoltaic systems as well as externally sourced green electricity.
- Where possible, our employees use public transport for business trips.
- For the CO₂ emissions from our fuel consumption, we make a voluntary contribution to climate protection projects.
- We continuously and sustainably replace our vehicles with electric cars whenever possible and ask our employees to use charging points providing renewable energy. Our own charging points are supplied by our photovoltaic system and are also available to our employees for private use.
- For commuting to work, we offer our employees the Deutsche Bahn job ticket and the option of leasing a bicycle.
- We select equipment and hardware according to the principle of longevity without compromising on technological standards.
- When procuring consumable materials, we consider their suitability, sustainability and recyclability. We favour environmentally friendly products and regional suppliers, as well as products manufactured in Germany or Europe and made from recycled materials. Wherever possible, we avoid packaging or opt for packaging-free or low-packaging solutions.
- We live recycling by carefully sorting our waste and keeping different types of waste separate. This provides the basis for a high recycling rate when our waste is subsequently processed.
