Care Solutions: St. Veit's new climate alliance star for sustainability!

St. Veit an der Glan, Österreich - Care Solutions, an IT service provider of the Merciful Brothers, has reached an important milestone in St. Veit an der Glan. The company was recognized as the first company in the region with the status of a climate alliance company. This award recognizes the extensive measures that have been implemented in the past two years to reduce ecological footprint. The official award took place in the presence of Mayor Martin Kulmer, State Councilor Sara Schaar and City Councilor Walter Brunner. Christian Salmhofer from the climate alliance praised the commitment of Care Solutions as the right way to a climate -neutral future.

A central factor of Care Solutions's sustainability strategy is the installation of a photovoltaic system at the company location. This system already covers a large part of the electricity requirement. According to Vattenfall , a photovoltaic system can save an average of 429 grams of CO2 per kilowatt hour compared to conventional energy sources. By using this technology, Care Solutions not only contributes to a comprehensive energy transition, but also significantly reduces its own CO2 emissions.

diverse measures for sustainability

The company relies on a wide range of sustainability measures. All company vehicles are electrical and use company-owned charging stations that are operated with solar power. In addition, consistent waste separation was established in order to further promote resource conservation. The environmental awareness is reflected even on the office breed: their own beehives live there. Managing Director Michael Wiltschnigg emphasizes that sustainability is firmly anchored in corporate philosophy.

Care Solutions also relies on environmentally friendly office items and specifically selected employee gifts. Another sustainable aspect is the heating of the office building via the St. Veiter Middle Warm Network, which is fed with industrial waste heat. Home office and digital meetings also reduce traffic and emissions, an important step towards climate neutrality.

The role of photovoltaic systems in the energy transition

photovoltaic systems play a crucial role in the energy transition because they convert solar energy into electricity and supply companies with climate -friendly energy. Use of solar power can bring significant advantages for companies: The costs for self-generated electricity are 8-10 cents per kWh, which is cheaper than the cover from the network. In addition, these systems often amortize after 6 to 10 years, depending on the electricity tariff, and offer great independence of electricity price fluctuations, which increases supply security, such as Environmental dialog reported.

Overall, Care Solutions shows that companies can actively contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and the achievement of climate targets. The city of St. Veit sees the company a strong partner on the way to climate neutrality, striven for until 2040. With innovative approaches and a clear confession to sustainability, Care Solutions makes an important contribution to the future of energy and the associated climate protection.
