A pilot project with TÜV SÜD confirms BayWa r.e. as an energy transition pioneer

Munich - BayWa r.e. is one of the first companies to have been awarded the \"Energy transition pioneer\" certificate by TÜV SÜD.
TÜV SÜD awarded the certificate to BayWa r.e. and two other companies during a special event held in Munich.

As part of the pilot project aimed at the development of the new TÜV seal, BayWa r.e. and its individual subsidiaries were subjected to a thorough audit. The audit included all business sectors, including projects, technical and commercial operations management, technical consulting as well as energy trading, the sale of green electricity and eco gas, plus innovative self-sufficiency concepts. The catalogue of criteria included products and services, as well as the company\'s ecological and sustainable orientation.

Critical factors for assessment are the depth to which the energy transition aims are rooted in company aims and business plans. Detailed criteria, such as the proportion of renewables in the overall energy mix, the consumption of raw materials and primary energy, energy efficiency and flexible energy supply systems also play their part. The certification attests to the fact that BayWa r.e. shows an above average commitment in all of these areas. \"We\'re thrilled with this certification and recognise it as confirmation of our steadfast expansion of practical solutions and services focused on the deployment of renewables. As a provider of comprehensive services we are continually striving to offer our customers individual solutions from a single source\", says Matthias Taft, Chairman of the Management Board of BayWa r.e. \"This certification focuses not only on individual products, but also assesses the company orientation and activities concerning the energy transition\", emphasises Klaus Nürnberger, Carbon Management Service Department of TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH.

In addition to product certifications, such as OK-Power and those awarded by the Eco Test foundation (Sept. 2014), our green electricity and eco gas products are now also certified as part of the \"Energy transition pioneer\" company certification scheme. Taft adds: \"Customers buying green power or eco gas from us now have a confirmation from an independent body that they are not only buying an ecologically sound product, but that these products are delivered by a company that is totally committed to the energy transition in all of its areas of activity\".
