Energiekontor receives EMAS certification again and confirms sustainable corporate focus

Bremen, 20 June 2025 – Energiekontor AG (“Energiekontor”), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks based in Bremen and listed in the General Standard, has successfully completed this year’s EMAS audit and once again secured EMAS certification for its operational environmental management.

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is an instrument developed by the European Union to systematically record and improve the environmental performance of companies and other organisations. It covers all the requirements of the internationally recognised environmental management standard ISO 14001 and goes beyond this in its specifications. With its successful recertification, Energiekontor underlines once again that sustainable management is not just an aspiration, but an integral part of the company’s values.

Energiekontor received EMAS certification for the first time in 2022. As part of this, Energiekontor set itself various environmental targets in its environmental statement, which have now been almost fully achieved. Alongside the recertification, the company has published an updated environmental statement for its Bremen site, which can now be viewed at www.energiekontor.de/en/investor-relations/sustainability-esg. This provides information on the progress made to date and the next steps for optimising environmental performance.

“Sustainability and environmental awareness have been firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy since Energiekontor was founded,” says Günter Eschen, member of the Management Board of Energiekontor AG. “The renewed EMAS certification serves both as confirmation and as a new incentive for us. It shows that we are consistently pursuing our environmental goals and constantly building upon our systematic commitment to environmental protection. Thanks to EMAS, we can present our measures and progress in a transparent and measurable way and thus make an effective contribution towards a sustainable future.”
