Activities

Turning dreams into reality is all that counts.

All the know-how and ideas in the world would be worthless if they were never put into practice. This thought is what inspires us to realize the corporate goals anchored in our environmental and sustainability policy. It involves a large number or sometimes small steps.

In the framework of the “Hessian Initiative for Energy Consulting for SMEs”, Sasa Petric – project engineer for energy efficiency impulse dialog at the Hessian rationalization and innovation center for industry, Hessen Rationalisierungs- und Innovationszentrum der Wirtschaft e.V. (RKW Hessen) – audited our firm and said:

“I’ve been working in this field officer position at the Hessian ministry for over two years now, and can safely say your company is exemplary.”

So what have we achieved so far?
