For even more transparency and sustainability: GETEC ENERGIE is now Climate Partner-certified.


Hanover, 07.12.2023 - GETEC ENERGIE GmbH (GETEC ENERGIE) is taking another step towards climate neutrality: For the first time, the company has calculated itscarbon footprint for 2022, derived ambitious measures and targets from this and thus meets the high requirements for Climate Partner certification.

GETEC ENERGIE, Germany’s fourth-largest electricity supplier for industrial and commercial customers, is taking another step towards climate neutrality: the Hanover-based energy services company has had itscarbon footprint for 2022 calculated by Climate Partner for the first time. The calculation, which takes into account Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, resulted in a carbon footprint (in CO₂ equivalents) of 627,972 kg CO₂ (including a safety margin of 10%). This currently puts GETEC ENERGIE in the upper mid-range of comparable companies.

As one of the leading providers of green energy solutions for industrial, commercial and multi-site customers, it is particularly important for GETEC ENERGIE to operate as sustainably and transparently as possible. Calculating itscarbon footprint is therefore crucial for the company to better understand its own environmental impact, comply with legal requirements and minimize business risks.

“Calculating thecarbon footprint for the first time underlines the fact that we take transparency and sustainability really seriously,” says Cord Wiesner, CEO, explaining GETEC ENERGIE’s commitment to climate protection. “We are using the results to take targeted measures to further reduce our impact on the environment and to expand our contribution to climate protection in a more targeted manner.”

Certification by Climate Partner enables a transparent presentation of GETEC ENERGIE’s comprehensive climate protection strategy. This includes information such as the carbon footprint, defined reduction targets, reduction measures already implemented and the company’s financial contribution to climate protection projects. This information can be viewed on GETEC ENERGIE’s publicly accessible Climate Partner ID page. Further details on Climate Partner certification are available in the Climate Partner Protocol.
