In our business areas, it is crucial to recognize that we need to prepare for future challenges today. For this reason, we are continuously implementing the necessary measures in all areas.
Environment.
Lagermax Group Austria is committed to taking a precautionary approach towards the environment, with a view to preventing long-term environmental damage.
Emissions & energy.
We are reducing energy use and emissions. The measures are listed further down this page. Our objective is to reduce energy use and emissions across all business areas. To achieve this, we rely amongst others on the following measures:
- Increasing energy efficiency
- Developing the electric infrastructure
- Expanding our photovoltaic systems
Best Practice
Economical driving.
We have been organising fuel-saving trainings with our truck drivers since 2005. To motivate them to save fuel, we have developed our own bonus system with financial incentives. Consumptions are compared each month in order to derive improvement measures for the vehicles or the driving style of the drivers.
Best Practice
Effective use of the sun’s energy.
Since 2015, 768 photovoltaic modules have been lying on the roof of the mechanics hall in Straßwalchen. Today solar panels have been installed at six Austrian sites, covering a total surface area of 15,290 m². We use the electricity ourselves and feed the rest into the grid.
Just in Straßwalchen and Vienna, over 500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions are saved annually. The other locations are Villach, St. Veit/Glan, Sachsenburg and Radstadt. Together, the systems achieve a total output of 2,447 kWp.
People.
We employ 4,050 people internationally. As a family company and a services company, we know clearly that our most important success factor is our employees. We therefore implement various measures to ensure their satisfaction.
Satisfaction as a
success factor.
Equal opportunity is key.
Diversity is important at Lagermax. We promote the individuality of our employees and for instance have created space for personal religious observance.
Economy.
As a family company with a rich tradition, Lagermax places great value in long-term collaborations with regional suppliers and partners. To strengthen regional value creation at the individual sites of the Lagermax Group, we give preferential treatment to regional companies for maintenance contracts and investment projects. Our goal is to secure jobs in the respective region and promote local economic development.
