SUSTAINABILITY

Increased environmental sustainability: increased financial sustainability: A growing number of people are judging companies, brands, and organizations on their environmental and social credentials.

Consider our environmental management, knowhow, and technology as your competitive advantage. As a contribution to society. As a standard for your event. For a sustainable impact on everything.

Become sustainable. Stay sustainable.

01

EMAS certified since 2015.

As outlined in our environmental statement, POOLgroup is certified by EMAS, the European environmental management system, and has therefore maintained documented high standards of environmental protection for many years.

EMAS Certificate

02

Reduced gas consumption by more than 30%.

By retrofitting our heating systems in 2023 and switching to heat pumps in 2024, we reduced our natural gas consumption from 436,437 kWh (2022) to 296,266 kWh (2024) – a tangible step towards energy-efficient operation.

03

Generated almost 300,000 kWh of solar power

Our ever growing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems now have a capacity of 288 kWp. In the last two years, we have generated 294,393 kWh of electricity – straight from our roofs, straight into our business.

04

Saved more than 63 tons of CO₂ – taking the railway instead of the freeway.

The POOLcrew is taking to the rails: In 2024, we saved around 63,597 kg of CO2 by consistently using trains instead of cars – as a direct decision to avoid emissions.

05

Fewer trucks, the same sound – thanks to the PANTHER system.

We have significantly reduced the transport load per tour by investing in Meyer Sound’s compact and highly efficient PANTHER active loudspeaker system. Fewer loudspeakers, less weight – and therefore fewer trucks on the road. This saves on gas, reduces CO2 emissions, and makes touring more efficient and sustainable.

More Sustainability. More Future Viability.

„I believe in and am fully committed to environmental management at POOLgroup. For me, sustainability is not an option, but an attitude – with the aim of conserving resources and fulfilling our responsibility to future generations.”

„Sustainability cannot be bought — real environmental protection comes from lived responsibility and transparent corporate governance, not from greenwashing. That’s why we at POOLgroup rely on EMAS — a standard that demands exactly this responsibility and transparency, credibly validates our sustainable actions, and paves the way toward a truly sustainable future.”
