Techem Drives Forward Sustainable Transformation with Expanded Digital Platform and Significant Reduction in CO₂e Emissions
Eschborn, 1 April 2025 – Techem, a leading global service provider for smart and sustainable building solutions, has announced significant progress in its sustainable transformation efforts in 2024. The company is expanding its digital decarbonization platform to further drive sustainability and efficiency in buildings. This move will enable intelligent networking of energy data, players, and applications, providing new opportunities for optimizing energy consumption and reducing emissions.
One key success for Techem is the reduction in CO₂e emissions by 18% since 2020. In addition to energy efficiency in buildings, the company is also making strides in sustainable mobility solutions. By the end of the 2024 financial year, Techem had installed 1,514 new charging points for electric vehicles in residential and commercial properties, with plans to reach 5,000 by 2027. Matthias Hartmann, CEO of Techem, highlights the importance of digital solutions in achieving a sustainable future: “Our digital platform creates transparency about energy consumption, identifies potential savings, and helps the real estate industry operate more sustainably. Digital transformation is key to reducing emissions and increasing efficiency – and we are determined to play an active role in shaping this change.”
In addition to its efforts in climate protection and digitalization, Techem is committed to diversity and equal opportunities. The proportion of women in management positions rose to 31.9% last year and is set to increase to 35% by 2025. Through targeted support programs, mentoring, and training, the company is promoting an inclusive corporate culture and equal development opportunities.
Techem’s sustainability-related activities have been recognized by the rating agency Morningstar Sustainalytics, which awarded the company a “Negligible Risk” rating in terms of material financial impact from ESG factors for the second time in a row. With an ESG risk rating of 9.6, Techem is among the top three percent of over 16,000 companies from various sectors assessed internationally.
Techem’s voluntary sustainability reporting, developed in accordance with the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and in preparation for the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), provides a detailed description of how the company integrates the most important social, environmental, and economic issues into its business strategy and the concrete measures that result from this.
