Our
measures

Energy generation, technology transfer, awareness-building. For us, sustainability doesn’t stop at the installation of renewable power systems. We take a holistic view – starting with how we understand our role as a company. This creates a meaningful link between our actions and their impact.

Overview of measures

Diversification.
As a business model.

The energy transition offers enormous potential – and at Schlamann, we’ve recognised it. That’s why we aren’t relying on a single technology, but instead combining a range of components into a cohesive, holistic sustainability strategy.

Solar power

Solar power is a key pillar of our energy mix. We’re already well positioned in this area – and we see particularly strong potential for expanding our in-house energy generation through solar.

Wind power

No sun, no power? No problem. Our wind turbines provide a solid foundation for green energy generation. They offer exceptionally high reliability – around the clock, day or night.

Electric vehicles

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond energy generation. With our steadily growing electric fleet – including vehicles used in logistics – we’re taking the next step on the road to a cleaner future.

Energy storage

Managing peak loads and consumption is one of the energy transition’s biggest challenges. That’s why we’re already making major investments in storing the energy we generate ourselves – tackling this key issue in-house.

Steam generation

Looking ahead, we plan to generate 50% of the steam used to cure our bricks using electricity. This will not only cut costs but also significantly lessen our environmental impact.

FAQ – 8030. Future. Now.

Learn more about our mission and efforts in our Frequently Asked Questions section

What exactly is the "8030. Future. Now." initiative?: We understand the responsibility that energy-intensive industries like ours carry. Those who continue to rely on finite, combustible energy sources have likely missed both the urgency of the moment and the vast potential of an energy transformation towards alternative, sustainable solutions. This isn’t about politics – it’s about facts. By generating our own renewable energy, we reduce our dependence on external suppliers, actively cut operating costs, secure the future of our company and our employees, and open up new areas of business along the way.
Why is the transformation so important for Schlamann?: Because we recognise that the energy transition – and sustainability goals in general – can’t be achieved by government plans alone. Every company has a responsibility, and we’re ready to shoulder ours. We are doing so with conviction and the confidence that it’s the right path forward.
What specific goals is Schlamann pursuing with the programme?: On the one hand, we recognise our environmental responsibility – to society and to future generations. But the economic benefits and resulting competitive edge are just as important. This way, we remain an attractive employer and building materials supplier AND make a meaningful contribution to the environment.
What is Schlamann actually doing?: When it comes to sustainability, we’re not here to watch from the sidelines – we’re getting stuck in. Over the coming years, we’re investing a high six-figure sum in expanding our wind and solar energy capacity. We’re also putting serious effort into energy storage, upgrading our vehicle fleet and electrifying the steam generation process used in production. You can find the full details in the Measures section.
