Our environmental management
Energiequelle GmbH is already inextricably linked with environmental and nature conservation issues through its business areas. In 2018, we introduced an environmental management system at our main sites in Kallinchen and Bremen that meets the requirements of the EMAS III Regulation.
EMAS stands for ‘Eco-Management and Audit Scheme’ and is a voluntary environmental management system of the European Union. It was developed to help companies and organisations reduce their environmental impact and continuously improve their environmental performance.
Why did we choose EMAS?

Environmental management at Energiequelle
The aim of EMAS is to guide companies in continuously improving their environmental performance and to create transparency for the public.
By implementing EMAS, companies can reduce costs, use resources more efficiently and improve their image.
We are committed to continuously improving our environmental performance and involving all our employees. Our environmental management is actively practised and strengthens each individual's identification with the environmental protection interests of Energiequelle GmbH.
Our environmental policy
We have been delivering renewable energy projects since 1997. We develop, construct and operate wind energy and photovoltaic plants, substations and energy storage systems across Germany and Europe. We also develop energy supply solutions, repower existing wind turbines and, through our subsidiary eqSTROM, supply electricity generated from renewable energy sources.
Every day, our employees across Europe and South Africa contribute to the energy transition with passion, courage and a strong sense of humanity.
Our projects support the expansion of renewable energy. At the same time, we aim to systematically identify the environmental impacts associated with our own activities and reduce them wherever possible. To this end, we continuously monitor and improve our environmental performance. We are also developing our own charging infrastructure for electric vehicles at our locations.
In 2018, we introduced an environmental management system in accordance with EMAS, establishing a binding framework for systematically monitoring, assessing and continuously improving our environmental performance.
We take the environmental impacts associated with our services and business activities into account. Environmental and resource-related aspects are considered when selecting services and suppliers. The energy needs of our offices are met, among other sources, by energy from photovoltaic systems, wind energy and combined heat and power plants. At the same time, we aim to avoid waste wherever possible and use resources consciously.
The Management Board considers the responsible use of resources and the involvement of citizens and interested parties to be important elements of our corporate management. Our employees receive regular training and professional development, including on current developments in regulations and legal requirements. Compliance with the legal requirements applicable to us is an essential foundation of our environmental management system.
Taking responsibility through systematic environmental management.
