OUR GOAL: Reducing our Carbon Footprint continously
We are calculating our Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) - Scope 1 and Scope 2 - according to the internationally valid Greenhouse Gas Protocol on a yearly base and thoroughly analyze the sources. Based on the analysis we continously identify opportunities to avoid greenhouse gasses as much as possible by optimizing processes, switching from fossil to renewable energy wherever available. We are green-doers, no green-washers. With our passion for innovation, we pave the way for a better tomorrow!
We are consciously addressing the impact that our business activities have on the environment.
Since SAN Group was founded, we have been investing daily in the further development of renewable energies such as green hydrogen, installing PV systems, electrifying our fleet, using geothermal energy instead of non-renewable resources and creating awareness among our employees.
Our initiatives
Electric vehicles and Hydrogen cars are a clean alternative when powered with green electricity. Currently our car fleet in Austria consists of 100% green vehicles: 90% electric and 10% H2cars.
A photovoltaic system has already been installed in Austria for the production site and the new office building, including two e‑charging stations for cars. By installing the PV system on the buildings, we ensure a decentralized and sustainable energy supply.
California is a model state in the green movement within the USA. We currently evaluate the possibility to purchase 100 % green electricity only for our subsidiary in Vista (CA).
We replace company cars by electric vehicles and set up electric vehicle charging infrastructure at all our German subsidiaries!
100 % green electricity for our Austrian subsidiaries: The 750 kWp photovoltaic system on 5,000 sqm roof top area of our commercial halls at Herzogenburg make perfect use of the space, and significantly contributes to our electricity demands in a sustainable way!
Our Brazilian car fleet can be run on gasoline or bioethanol. There is an excellent network of refilling stations in the country for both fuels in the country. With the implementation of a "Fuel Choice Policy", our employees are obliged to use bioethanol which produces less emissions than gasoline.
VOICES FROM GREEN-DOERS
"We plan and build projects with the intention of thoughtfully using the primary sources of energy that are available – and doing this as efficiently as possible. We use water, wind, soil, and sun as energy sources to get one step closer to our goal: Being Sustainable."
MARTIN BLAUENSTEINER
"In our production processes, we particularly strive to continuously reduce the consumption of energy and resources. The use of renewable resources and the constant evaluation of sustainable alternatives are a MUST DO for us."
JOHANN TRAUNINGER
"Taking sustainability aspects into account can be a challenge in construction projects – but it is an absolute must-do! I see myself not only as a project developer, but also as a developer of a better tomorrow. Challenge accepted!"
