Environmental responsibility in everyday operations

At comemso, an ISO 14001 environmental management system connects practical measures in everyday operations with published operating data.

Our approach

Improve operations and review the results

We review energy use, mobility, buildings, materials, waste, employee involvement and legal obligations together to identify where we can improve.

Generate and procure renewable energy

We use electricity from our own PV systems first and cover the remaining demand with certified renewable electricity.

Reduce operational demand

We improve heating controls, insulation and lighting, select suitable equipment and monitor major electrical consumers.

Electrify mobility

Our vehicle fleet is predominantly electric. AC and DC charging infrastructure supports daily operations and product development.

Measure and disclose progress

We record energy, water, material use, waste and emissions, then publish the results and priorities for further improvement.

Published environmental data

Operating data from the reporting period

The Environmental Report 2025 compares operating data from 2021 through 2025. The cards show the endpoints of that reporting period.

External electricity

274,845kWh in 2021
55,469kWh in 2025
about 80% lower

Gas

206,225kWh in 2021
90,005kWh in 2025
about 56% lower

Water

280m³ in 2021
146m³ in 2025
about 48% lower

Reported operational CO₂

42.2t in 2021
19.6t in 2025
about 53% lower

The figures describe company operations during the reporting period. Production volume, material use and high-power test demand changed over that time. The report does not provide a product life-cycle assessment.

Energy and buildings

Generate solar power and reduce building energy demand

PV systems on both company buildings were installed and commissioned in 2022 and 2023. Storage capacity and additional façade-mounted PV modules were expanded through 2026 to increase self-consumption and improve winter generation.

The remaining electricity demand is covered with certified renewable electricity. The newer building uses heat pumps. In the existing building, heating controls, thermal separation and high-insulation windows reduce gas demand.

PV

Solar generation

Roof and façade PV systems generate electricity on both company buildings.

100%

Renewable purchased electricity

Certified renewable electricity supplements on-site generation.

HP

Efficient building systems

Heat pumps, improved heating controls, insulation and consumption monitoring help reduce building energy demand.

BAT

Higher self-consumption

Expanded storage helps us use more of the solar power we generate.

Operations

Manage mobility, materials, waste and water

EV

Predominantly electric fleet

The report lists a fleet dominated by electric vehicles, with two diesel vehicles remaining in 2025. AC and DC charging stations support both operations and product testing.

MAT

Materials and recycling

We record material use and waste. Where feasible, we approach suppliers about taking back and recycling sorted plastics from production.

H₂O

Water and substances

Water use, cleaning agents, solvents and other relevant substances are tracked. Substitution opportunities for hazardous substances are reviewed regularly.

Transparency includes limits.

The report explains why 2025 operational CO₂ remained close to 2024, including the use of a specialised field-calibration transporter.

Environmental management

Clear responsibilities and regular reviews

comemso’s environmental management includes a permanent environmental officer, employee training, internal participation, recurring audits and documented legal-compliance checks.

01

Defined responsibility

The environmental officer reviews processes independently of day-to-day production responsibility.

02

Employee participation

Employees contribute through training, information sharing and an internal suggestion system.

03

Audits and compliance

Internal and external audits, safety structures and legal-compliance checks help us review our obligations.

04

Measurable objectives

Our next priorities are to reduce external electricity demand, increase solar self-consumption and keep emissions growth below company growth.
