Our locations in Germany have been supplied with certified electricity from 100% renewable energy sources since 2008. This applies to our two roasteries in Hamburg and Berlin, the distribution centers in Gallin and Neumarkt, the company headquarters in Hamburg, and all Tchibo stores in Germany, for which we purchase the electricity ourselves. Since 2015, all locations in Austria and, where possible, the stores have also been supplied with green electricity. Since 2021, the warehouse in Cheb (Czech Republic) and our roaster in Marki (Poland) have also been supplied with electricity from renewable sources. In 2017, we initiated an energy-saving process at our distribution center in Gallin, which we are continuously continuing. For example, we implemented an energy management system with an improved metering concept. Heating pipes in the outgoing goods area were insulated. Furthermore, the lighting in many areas was optimized and converted to LED.

Tchibo's total energy consumption has steadily declined in recent years. This was achieved primarily through lower natural gas consumption in the roasteries and German stores. Electricity consumption has also declined in the roasteries, stores, and administration.

Despite this, our goal remains to save energy. To achieve our energy reduction target, the following energy-saving measures are planned, for example:
