Commitment to our business operations
For the environment and the climate, we start where we can make a direct impact: within our own operations.
Photovoltaics The photovoltaic (PV) system on the W&W Campus buildings and the two multi-storey car parks with an area of 4070 m² generates around 820 MWh of electricity per year. Under optimal conditions, the PV system can achieve a maximum output of 850 MWh of electricity per year.
E-mobility We have added electric and hybrid vehicles to our company car fleet, and these now make up over 25% of the fleet. Our multi-storey car parks have charging points for employees’ private vehicles and company cars.
Saving energy We operate the W&W Campus buildings with significantly lower energy consumption compared to the old office buildings at the Feuersee and Ludwigsburg sites. The area is equipped with economical LED lighting throughout. The majority of the roofs are green.
Electricity and heat from renewable energy sources At all W&W Group locations, we use 100% renewable electricity backed by guarantees of origin in accordance with Section 42 (1) No. 3 of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG). The electricity supply is supplemented by renewable heating solutions, which together contribute to an efficient energy supply. A wood chip plant provides heat. A heat exchanger recovers heat from the air conditioning system. A heat pump converts the waste heat from the data centre.
Concrete core activation The ceilings of the W&W Campus buildings store thermal energy, providing heating or cooling to each room. Together with mechanical ventilation, this creates an integrated and energy-efficient climate control system.
Sustainable buildings
The DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) has awarded the W&W Campus its highest certification. The buildings, which were completed at the W&W Group's joint site in 2023, received the platinum certificate for buildings in operation following a detailed inspection. The economic, functional and ecological aspects of the buildings, such as the efficient air conditioning concept and the design of the green spaces, were examined.

Sustainable gastronomy
Our company restaurant on the W&W Campus was certified as a “GreenCanteen” after being evaluated against more than 100 individual criteria. The certification recognizes canteens for their consistent consideration of environmental and social aspects in food service operations. We are constantly adapting our range accordingly. Regionality and organic certification play a central role. The range also includes numerous vegetarian and vegan options at five themed counters.
