We encounter the need for sus\u00adtain\u00adable cor\u00adpo\u00adrate gov\u00ader\u00adnance under the buzz\u00adwords \u201cSocial Devel\u00adop\u00adment Goals\u201d (SDG), \u201cCor\u00adpo\u00adrate Social Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty\u201d (CSR) and \u201cEnvi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal, Social and Cor\u00adpo\u00adrate Gov\u00ader\u00adnance\u201d (ESG). As a glob\u00adal\u00adly active com\u00adpa\u00adny, we have to adapt to var\u00adi\u00adous reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions of nation\u00adal leg\u00adis\u00adla\u00adtures and polit\u00adi\u00adcal ini\u00adtia\u00adtives.<\/p>\n
Our cus\u00adtomers are involved in build\u00ading and oper\u00adat\u00ading a sus\u00adtain\u00adable ener\u00adgy infra\u00adstruc\u00adture and have there\u00adfore already com\u00admit\u00adted to ambi\u00adtious \u201cNet Zero\u201d tar\u00adgets. Accord\u00ading\u00adly, we are already being asked for infor\u00adma\u00adtion on our com\u00adpli\u00adance orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion and our han\u00addling of sup\u00adpli\u00aders and sup\u00adply risks. Ulti\u00admate\u00adly, how\u00adev\u00ader, the media pres\u00adence of the top\u00adic of sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty is also increas\u00ading\u00adly influ\u00adenc\u00ading the behav\u00adior of employ\u00adees and applicants\u2014who would want to work in a com\u00adpa\u00adny that is not seen as sus\u00adtain\u00adable?<\/p>\n
Irre\u00adspec\u00adtive of these require\u00adments, we are com\u00admit\u00adted to the UN\u2019s Social Devel\u00adop\u00adment Goals as a fam\u00adi\u00adly busi\u00adness with a cross-gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtional ori\u00aden\u00adta\u00adtion. Con\u00adse\u00adquent\u00adly, we have embed\u00added this in our cor\u00adpo\u00adrate strat\u00adegy and are already prepar\u00ading our first sustainabil\u00adity report, although we are not oblig\u00aded to pub\u00adlish it until 2026.<\/p>\n
As the world mar\u00adket leader, we are proud to have made the oper\u00ada\u00adtion of trans\u00adform\u00aders not only safer and more eco\u00adnom\u00adi\u00adcal, but above all more envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly friend\u00adly over the past 25 years with our main\u00adte\u00adnance-free VACUTAP\u00ae on-load tap-chang\u00aders. The sav\u00adings in insu\u00adlat\u00ading oil alone make a sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtion to conserv\u00ading nat\u00adur\u00adal resources over the entire life cycle. In this way, we had already made a sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant \u201cScope 3\u201d con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtion for our cus\u00adtomers at a time when sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty was not yet a glob\u00adal issue. In the mean\u00adtime, we have mean\u00ading\u00adful CO2<\/sub> bal\u00adances for select\u00aded prod\u00aducts, and we are work\u00ading on estab\u00adlish\u00ading stan\u00addard\u00adized assess\u00adments for our entire, high\u00adly durable prod\u00aduct port\u00adfo\u00adlio.<\/p>\n The trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion of the sup\u00adply infra\u00adstruc\u00adture dri\u00adven by cli\u00admate change requires new answers in many places. Beyond trans\u00adformer con\u00adtrol, Rein\u00adhausen and its sub\u00adsidiaries have much to offer\u2014such as effi\u00adcient grid con\u00adnec\u00adtion of wind tur\u00adbines, sta\u00adbi\u00adliza\u00adtion of trans\u00admis\u00adsion grids by means of capac\u00adi\u00adtive reac\u00adtive pow\u00ader, test\u00ading and mon\u00adi\u00adtor\u00ading of extra-high volt\u00adage cables, increas\u00ading the resilience of local grids or local pro\u00advi\u00adsion of DC grids.<\/p>\n \u201cWe place great val\u00adue on employ\u00adees deep\u00aden\u00ading and broad\u00aden\u00ading their exper\u00adtise over many years in the same func\u00adtion.\u201d Due to the Euro\u00adpean envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal stan\u00addards, which have always been very high, we have a good overview of the emis\u00adsions of our oper\u00ada\u00adtions. We are not an ener\u00adgy-inten\u00adsive com\u00adpa\u00adny and we con\u00adsis\u00adtent\u00adly avoid waste and try to recy\u00adcle it. In the area of pack\u00adag\u00ading and trans\u00adport, we have sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant\u00adly reduced CO2<\/sub> emis\u00adsions in recent years. In this respect, the high pro\u00adduc\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty and qual\u00adi\u00adty of our process\u00ades and the use of inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive process tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies already ensure that we work in a way that con\u00adserves resources.<\/p>\n Nev\u00ader\u00adthe\u00adless, we want and must con\u00adtin\u00adue to improve. We are cur\u00adrent\u00adly work\u00ading on reduc\u00ading gas and elec\u00adtric\u00adi\u00adty con\u00adsump\u00adtion over\u00adall and at the same time mak\u00ading greater use of non-fos\u00adsil ener\u00adgy sources. This applies worldwide\u2014most recent\u00adly, we were able to make our plant in Chi\u00adna inde\u00adpen\u00addent of the pub\u00adlic ener\u00adgy sup\u00adply. The new plant in Italy is already equipped with pho\u00adto\u00advoltaics on a large scale, and this will soon also be the case in Dres\u00adden. The fact that the num\u00adber of busi\u00adness trips as well as the on-premise work\u00ading of our employ\u00adees have both fall\u00aden sharply, and that dig\u00adi\u00adtal com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion with cus\u00adtomers, sup\u00adpli\u00aders and employ\u00adees has increased accord\u00ading\u00adly, also reduces the CO2<\/sub> load of our process\u00ades on bal\u00adance.<\/p>\n In this respect, we are try\u00ading to over\u00adcome log\u00adi\u00adcal con\u00adtra\u00addic\u00adtions, since the aim is to ensure the unin\u00adter\u00adrupt\u00aded oper\u00ada\u00adtion right\u00adly demand\u00aded by our cus\u00adtomers, while at the same time reduc\u00ading emis\u00adsions and increas\u00ading eco\u00adnom\u00adic effi\u00adcien\u00adcy. In view of a dynam\u00adic envi\u00adron\u00adment of legal reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions, geopo\u00adlit\u00adi\u00adcal chal\u00adlenges and tech\u00adno\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal change, this is no easy task over\u00adall. How\u00adev\u00ader, new prod\u00aducts such as ECOTAP\u00ae VI are already demon\u00adstrat\u00ading how this can be achieved.<\/p>\n As a medi\u00adum-sized fam\u00adi\u00adly busi\u00adness found\u00aded in 1868, we are deeply ingrained in think\u00ading for future gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions and act\u00ading in accor\u00addance with the rules\u2014otherwise, accord\u00ading to our self-image, entre\u00adpre\u00adneur\u00adial inde\u00adpen\u00addence can\u00adnot be main\u00adtained across gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions. Par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly in terms of sus\u00adtain\u00adable coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion with our cus\u00adtomers and sup\u00adpli\u00aders, we attach great impor\u00adtance to employ\u00adees deep\u00aden\u00ading and broad\u00aden\u00ading their exper\u00adtise over many years in the same func\u00adtion. In list\u00aded com\u00adpa\u00adnies, there is some\u00adtimes a lack of patience for this or it is even unde\u00adsir\u00adable in terms of com\u00adpli\u00adance. For this rea\u00adson, many employ\u00adees see them\u00adselves as mem\u00adbers of the Rein\u00adhausen fam\u00adi\u00adly and iden\u00adti\u00adfy strong\u00adly with our cor\u00adpo\u00adrate goals. And this nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly includes sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty.<\/p>\n How\u00adev\u00ader, it should not be over\u00adlooked that many list\u00aded com\u00adpa\u00adnies also suc\u00adceed in effec\u00adtive\u00adly anchor\u00ading the issue of sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty in their cor\u00adpo\u00adrate policies\u2014we have a lot in com\u00admon with these large com\u00adpa\u00adnies and can ben\u00ade\u00adfit from each other\u2019s coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion.<\/p>\n \u201cTech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy for the ener\u00adgy turn\u00adaround must be suit\u00adable for future gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions.\u201d In the opin\u00adion of employ\u00adees and appli\u00adcants, Rein\u00adhausen has long been one of the most attrac\u00adtive employers\u2014not least because of our high\u00adly praised train\u00ading and con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ading edu\u00adca\u00adtion pro\u00adgrams. In addi\u00adtion to our long\u00adstand\u00ading suc\u00adcess, secure jobs and fam\u00adi\u00adly atmos\u00adphere, the company\u2019s pur\u00adpose itself also con\u00adtributes to this.
