Forming a sustainable world

In recent years the subject of sustainability has gained worldwide importance and has become a central component our business at A+E Keller.

 

As part of our DIN EN ISO 50001 certification, we developed a consistent sustainability strategy that aims to make our processes increasingly environmentally conscious. Various measures and milestones have been defined to pursue this strategy.

The following chart shows the development of our CO2 consumption since 2015. It shows that  consumption has continuously been reduced. Since 2020 we have been producing with carbon-free electricity from renewable sources, partly through certificates.

The following timeline shows in detail the milestones that have contributed to achieving carbon-free internal production from 2020 onwards. It also outlines the measures that have been defined for the coming years to make our company increasingly sustainable.

2015

  • Heat recovery from compressors/use of a combined heat and power plant

2016

  • Increase in production → rise in emissions

2017

  • LED lighting in the administration building

2018

  • LED lighting in production
  • Proportionate carbon neutral electricity procurement

2019

  • 100 kWh/peak PV system and battery storage
  • 100% carbon neutral electricity purchase through certificates

2020

  • Reengineering of motors in the machining centers → reduction in energy consumption

2021

  • Installation of high-speed doors → reduction in heat loss

2022
