Energy
Our power is going green: Starting in 2018, we will purchase certified green electricity from Scandinavian hydropower for Hamburg and Sauerlach. This will save us around 2,590 tonnes of CO2 per year.
New energy-efficient roasting oven
In autumn of 2017, we invested in a new roasting plant at our site in Sauerlach. A special feature is the low energyconsumption: Since roasting and cooling no longer take place in one chamber, it no longer needs to be heated and cooled alternately. In addition, the heat from the roasting chamber is used to preheat our green coffee so that no energy is wasted. Depending on the weather and the type of coffee, the new roaster uses about 20% less natural gas than its predecessor.
Power saving with LEDs
By the end of 2020, we intend to replace 30% of the existing lighting in Hamburg's production and logistics areas with LEDs. For new buildings such as the administration building in Hamburg and the warehouse in Sauerlach, we use only LED lighting right from the start.
