Magna Steyr has proven: In the last few years, a comprehensive analysis of the material

the Graz location. Every device was evaluated and a huge amount of saving potential was
identified, which since then has been utilized as efficiently as possible. The best thing

Who wants to do something for the environment, has to become active: For this reason,
Magna Steyr has established an energy team at the Graz location as part of the centralenergy management, which should constantly improve the energy-related performance,
including energy efficiency, energy use and energy consumption. In practice, the energy
team looks for energy-saving potential, e.g. on “energy walks”, which among other things
lead to a more efficient use of energy and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. A
win-win situation for the company and the environment! Currently, the energy team is
identifying unnecessary energy consumption in non-production time and is devoting itself
to renewing the heat supply.
