    Successful sustainability initiative

    The WasserCluster Sustainability Initiative will enter its fourth year in April 2024. On this occasion, we are delighted to share with you what is perhaps our greatest success to date: since 2021, we managed to reduce electricity consumption at our institute by 20%! We achieved this by rethinking our working practices, collaborative actions to promote awareness of energy-saving behaviour and, above all, by our dedicated team taking on social responsibility.
