Commitment to the Environment, Society, and Employees
Sustainable business success requires more than just economic activity.
Our commitment to the environment, society, and our role as an employer is an integral part of our corporate strategy. We actively promote positive developments that go beyond our immediate business interests.
Environment
Commitment to Climate, Biodiversity, and Renewable Energy
For ENERPARC, climate protection—and thus environmental protection—is both our business purpose and our mission. That is why our commitment extends beyond our own economic interests. We regularly support research projects in the solar industry, share our expertise through presentations at industry events, in podcasts, or in interviews, and are actively involved in numerous initiatives as well as European solar and industry associations. In addition to fossil-free energy generation, we are deeply committed to designing our solar plants to support biodiversity. We also make our sites available for grazing or beekeeping—sheep now graze on over 30 percent of our land.
Society
Shaping the Energy Transition Together
We are shaping the energy transition together with everyone who is setting the course for it—especially local communities and residents, who play a key role in determining the pace of the solar transition.
That is why we involve municipalities early on in the planning of our solar parks, engage in regular dialogue, and highlight the environmental and economic benefits. To this end, we currently employ over 50 project developers in Germany alone, who are committed to ensuring a smooth project process and accompany each project from start to finish.
In addition, independent of our projects, we regularly support non-profit and socially relevant organizations and initiatives in the fields of education, integration, health, and sports—including, for example, the Red Cross, SOS Children’s Villages, and the Offshore Sailors.
Safe working conditions are important to us not only within our organization but also at our suppliers and partner companies. That is why we have joined the Solar Stewardship Initiative as a founding member. Together with numerous stakeholders in the global solar value chain, we promote responsible production, procurement, and management of materials.
Employees
Careers at ENERPARC
ENERPARC began in 2008 with a handful of dedicated individuals. Today, the ENERPARC Group has grown to over 680 employees across Europe, India, and Australia and is one of Europe’s largest independent solar park developers and operators.
Despite this growth, we have retained many of the qualities often associated with young companies: a passion for our shared mission, collaboration on equal footing, and a deep trust in our employees’ expertise.
To ensure that employees feel comfortable and valued in the long term, in addition to fair compensation, numerous measures are firmly embedded in our company that promote health, a positive work atmosphere, and professional development. These include flexible work schedules, remote work options, modern workplace equipment, regular preventive health checkups, mental health support, as well as our own restaurant and fitness center at our headquarters in Hamburg.
In addition, ENERPARC continuously supports internal training, external professional development, and participation in industry events. A special training program has also been developed for managers and future leaders, which, in addition to technical content, focuses particularly on strengthening leadership skills.
