Reducing CO2 Emissions

Since 2012, we have participated in the programmes of the Swiss Energy Agency for the Economy (EnAW), working towards cost-effective climate protection. We have committed to targets for improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The corresponding measures are implemented over a ten-year period, with progress towards the targets reviewed annually.

We are also committed to reducing CO2 emissions along transport routes. For this reason, we are a member of the Galliker Green Logistics support association, established by our transport partner Galliker Transport AG.

Hydroelectric Power

All the electricity we purchase comes from hydropower. At approximately 30 kilometres long, the Muota is one of the most significant rivers in the canton of Schwyz and flows directly past our manufactory. ebs Energie AG operates seven hydroelectric power stations along the Muota and supplies renewable electricity to our manufactory and around 12,000 private households in the region.

Photovoltaic Installation

In 2026, we commissioned our new photovoltaic installation on the roof of our manufactory. A total of 414 modules were installed across an area of 825 m², with a combined capacity of 194.58 kWp. The installation is expected to generate around 200,000 kWh of solar electricity per year.

We use the electricity generated directly in our manufactory. Surplus solar electricity, for example on sunny weekends, can be converted into cooling energy through our ice storage system and stored for later use. The expected self-sufficiency rate is around 4 per cent.

Heat Recovery

Where technically feasible, we design new equipment to incorporate heat recovery. All our roasting installations are equipped with heat recovery systems. This has enabled us to reduce energy consumption in the roasting process by more than half.
