Sustainability
Sustainability determines our thoughts and actions
Our work is driven by our strong commitment to a future worth living in. Together with many others, we are on the path to making our economy more sustainable.


Our commitment to sustainability
The concept of sustainability embraces many aspects. By dedicating our engineering expertise to the energy transition, we are assuming our responsibility for a healthy environment and a stable climate. Our products promote the advance of decentralized power generation and help democratizing the energy sector. With our technical solutions, we wish to empower municipalities, cooperatives and citizens to participate in future-oriented power generation schemes.
Looking at another angle and the more global level, we are convinced that in the long run, the rising deployment of renewable energies will help to mitigate the risk of armed conflicts over resources. At the same time, however, we are also aware that when it comes to problematic raw materials and components, we need to take a critical look at our own supply chains. Last but not least, sustainability cannot be conceived without waste reduction. We thererefore strive to reduce the waste produced by our company and hence the carbon footprint of our products and business activities.
Our notion of sustainability also extends to the way we work together as a team. The well-being of our colleagues is of highest priority for us. Different lifestyles are respected; part-time and remote work models are actively supported. At be4energy, we are independent in our decision-making – without the involvement of any financially strong investors. Partnerships are always valued as collaborations on an equal footing.
The ECOnGOOD Balance Sheet
Our community approach to business
We are committed to shaping all our entrepreneurial activities towards zero negative impact on the common good. Therefore, in 2020, we have had the degree of our corporate sustainability assessed as part of a group audit, and have developed a Common Good Balance Sheet (ECOnGOOD). Having realized that there is potential for improvement, we have created the role of sustainability officer in our company.

"Given its great importance for all social, ecological and community areas, the aspect of sustainability has become the benchmark for all our business activities."
Stefan Galler, management and founder
