The companies were awarded for quick and innovative measures to increase energy efficiency as well as investments in renewable energies, digitalisation and the use of green hydrogen. Creative projects of employee motivation in the field of energy and resource efficiency were also honoured with this award.
In a challenging selection procedure, the company's achievements in climate and environmental protection inside the company were assessed and reviewed by a panel of experts. As a result, Zedler-Institut was admitted as one of the currently 51 members to the network of the nationwide pioneer initiative German Companies for Climate Protection.
