to the CLASSEN Group corporate blog » August 4, 2021 Almost 17,000 tonnes of CO₂ saved per year: CLASSEN energy management is among the best Kaisersesch / Baruth . The CLASSEN Group, leading manufacturer of high-quality laminate and PVC-free polymer flooring, has again been certified for its sustainable energy management. The corresponding certificates were awarded by independent testing institutes following plant audits in Kaisersesch and Baruth / Mark. They confirm that CLASSEN is continuously improving its energy efficiency in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001: 2018, is thus continuously reducing its energy costs specifically and is sustainably reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For the Kaisersesch site, Silvio Esser, auditor of TÜV AUSTRIA CERT GmbH, said: "I can confirm that the management system of Akzenta GmbH (CLASSEN Group) is currently one of the best systems I evaluate as an auditor in terms of management documentation and effectiveness of the implemented measures. " With its "CO₂ ZERO" project, the CLASSEN Group has set itself the goal of soon producing completely CO₂-neutral. As usual, CLASSEN employees at the Kaisersesch plant are looking specifically for ways to save energy and then implementing them. For example, LED lighting was installed in the production halls, cooling units that are not needed are now automatically switched off over the weekend and various media pipes are better insulated. CLASSEN obtains 100 per cent of its electricity at the Kaisersesch site from hydropower. This saved around 12,800 tonnes of CO₂ emissions in 2020. This is roughly equivalent to the amount of CO₂ emissions from almost 2,400 flights from Frankfurt to Sydney and back.
