CQO

We will always take the sutainable path

A resource-conserving approach to nature is important. The way we treat our environment today, determines our tomorrow. That is why Leonhard Lang takes action in all its business areas – for the health of future generations.

500,000 kWh of renewable energy from our photovoltaic system

With an area of 2,528 m², we generate 500,000 kWh of energy annually on three plant roofs, 90% of which we consume ourselves. In addition, the PV system is being further expanded.

Support for environmentally aware employees

We motivate our employees by offering bicycle parking, e-bike charging stations and financial support for using public transport.

Heat from groundwater instead of fossil fuels

Our Plant 2 is heated with a groundwater heat pump, thus reducing fossil energy consumption. For future buildings we will also use heat pumps.
