Sustainability – full steam ahead!
05/02/2016
In 2015, the Austrian Energy Efficiency Act became law, obliging companies to implement energy saving schemes. As a power producer (Zistersdorf), .A.S.A. Abfall Service AG is also affected by this law and if no energy saving programs are implemented, penalty payments must be made to the authorities.
The Energy Efficiency Act requires companies not only to work efficiently, but also to implement measures on consumer or community levels. To avoid penalty payments and to live the spirit of sustainability, we distributed LED-bulbs to our employees on December 12th as part of our community energy saving scheme.
These 9 watts LED bulbs have a luminosity of 60 watts compared to a regular light bulb. If the LED is operated for an hour a day on average, energy costs of about EUR 40.- can be saved annually.
As we implemented energy management in our internal quality management system, we were required to take the relevant energy audits. Our locations went through an initial certification in 2015. As a result, .A.S.A. Abfall Service AG is proud to be a certified waste management company according to EN-ISO 9001 and a certified energy management company according to EN-ISO 50001.
