Overview

We now have a penguin. He accompanies all our projects that we initiate for more sustainability. We all know that we have to save our planet. Clear! That we have to save greenhouse gases so that the atmosphere does not warm up even more. That we have to prepare for heat, drought, storms and heavy rain. Awareness alone was not enough for us.

We were looking for an honest picture that would make it easier for us

... to protect our earth and to do without the familiar and comfortable. The penguin can do it. His ice world is melting. And that's why this cute creature will have a harder time surviving. So we also protect the penguin if we make an effort. We in the building industry in particular have to make a large contribution to reducing greenhouse gases. Because the way we heat, how we supply electricity, how we insulate (inadequately) and how we move from A to B cause many greenhouse gases.

In 2022 we have initiated a lot,

... which should make living at 1893, but also our own business, more sustainable and climate-neutral. The eZeit engineers have recorded our entire inventory. In 2023 they want to present us with a catalog of measures that shows how our members 2045 greenhouse gas neutral living with us can. They will not only tell us what we have to do, but also how we can finance it and when we will implement which measures so that they have a major impact and still fit our financial situation.

Of course, we don't just rely on them eZeit engineers

We also have a lot ourselves Expertise built up. A cross-functional team accompanies the Decarbonization and thinks about greenhouse gas neutrality in all areas. This is particularly important when building and renovating. In our Field of Experts there is a colleague, Kathrin Kleemann, who checks the sustainability of all areas of the company, initiates changes and monitors them. In this, Kerstin Köhler and André Drescher explain exactly how our cross-functional decarbonization team wants to proceed Interview.

And we also take our members with us

Because they are our most important supporters because they decide on our entire gas, water and electricity consumption. That's why our members' newspaper 1893-Geflüster was called "1893-Energie-Geflüster" in october. We have collected 68 savings tips together with our Testimonial Gisela . Some with great effect. Others with a wink. For us, it's all about equality and appreciation. Because only together can we save the penguin and keep life on our planet worth living for the next generations.
