Stadtwerke Olching has been recognized by “ClimatePartner” as a climate-neutral company.
Olching - climate neutral therefore means: The municipal utilities have measured the emissions of greenhouse gases through their entrepreneurial activity, are continuously reducing them and offset the remaining, unavoidable emissions through climate protection projects. In order to define the so-called CO2 footprint, various data were recorded - including the energy consumption of the office buildings or the journeys made by employees. In 2019, a little more than 50 tons of CO2 came together that had to be offset. Stadtwerke managing director Thomas Grulke is also relying on a solar project in Namibia. It promotes the expansion of renewable energies in a region whose energy supply is largely dependent on imports, and also the global sustainability goals of the UN, such as the fight against poverty.
The municipal utility's carbon footprint is to be continuously reduced in the coming months. For example, the vehicle fleet is to be converted to electric vehicles by 2025. Their share is currently 60 percent. at all
