Sustainability at neoom
At neoom we have big ambitions to drive the energy transition forward - because together with our customers and partners we want to save a gigaton of CO2 equivalents! And we are already well on our way.

Energy transition
Change for our future
Every day, neoom is working towards a sustainable energy future. The biggest lever in the fight against the climate crisis is to harness energy from renewable sources.
Decentralised renewable energy makes this possible:
Reduction of Greenhouse Gases
Cleaner air through reduced emissions from electricity production
Democratizing Energy Supply
Many people benefit from generating and using their own electricity
Building Resilient Power Grids
Minimizing energy loss during transport across the power grid
Energy transition
We have the solutions
Over two-thirds of European greenhouse gas emissions stem from the use of fossil fuels for electricity, heat and transportation. For the largest share of these challenges market-ready renewable energy solutions already exist.
At neoom, we work every day to achieve an impact with our products.
Climate action is important to us - also as a company! That is why, in 2021, we started to calculate neoom's carbon footprint, implementing reduction strategies, and investing in climate protection projects and innovative technologies to reduce CO2. We emphasize transparency by disclosing in which areas of the company (scopes) emissions occur and our measures to mitigate them.

How much is a gigaton of CO2?
It is virtually impossible to imagine a gigaton.
However, here is an attempt to make this figure tangible: One gigaton is 1,000,000,000 tons of CO2.
Currently, roughly 55 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalents are emitted globally every year. The EU's share of global emissions is around six per cent.
One gigaton would correspond to 25 per cent of the EU's annual greenhouse gas emissions.
Saving one gigaton of CO₂ is equivalent to 1.5% of the EU’s emissions by 2040—a significant contribution to global climate efforts.
Corporate Carbon Footprint
Since 2021, neoom has been calculating its corporate carbon footprint annually allowing us to identify the sources of our emissions.
neoom's commitment to the environment
Scope 1 and 2 emissions as well as chosen Scope 3 emissions are offset by ambitious climate protection projects.
Evaluating product emissions
Since 2023, neoom battery storage solutions have been included in our carbon accounting.
Service and support
Customized support and repair services ensure long-lasting customer satisfaction and extend the lifespan of our products.
Responsible use of resources
neoom offers durable and safe products with high recycling potential and collaborates with partners to keep resources in the cycle.

Reducing the CO2 footprint
The primary goal is always to reduce emissions, as it is the only way to make a significant contribution to a sustainable climate future. neoom achieves this primarily through the sale of intelligent solar storage power plants.
Even without a green business model, every company should begin by reducing emissions at its business locations, in its vehicle fleet and during business travel. The next step is to reduce supply chain emissions through collaboration with partners.
neoom favors locations with good public transport connections and promotes sustainable building certifications as well as its own electricity production from renewable energies wherever possible:
Headquarter Free City - Austria
ÖGNI Platinum + Klimaaktiv Gold certified, neoom solar storage power plant + e-mobility hub
THE ICON VIENNA - Austria
LEED Platinum certified building at Vienna Central Station and is one of only 14 buildings in Austria that meet the highest internationally established sustainability standard
Designoffices Nürnberg - Germany
Climate-neutral shared office near Nuremberg main train station
neoom Rotkreuz - Switzerland
5-minute walk from the railway station, own PV system + charging stations
neoom vehicle fleet
Transition to 100% e-mobility by 2030 - 85% of the neoom fleet is already electric. In 2023, an impressive 2 million kilometres were driven in EVs
Employee mobility
Employees travelled approx. 200,000 kilometres on neoom business trips by train or other public transport in 2023
Home office
In addition, extensive home office options and digital working mean that unnecessary business trips are avoided

neoom is committed to the sustainable use of resources and supports products throughout their entire life cycle. |
Products
neoom focuses on high-quality, safe products with a long service life and therefore uses lithium iron phosphate technology for its batteries
Repair
In the event of damaged hardware, neoom supports our customers by first focussing on repair and spare parts instead of immediately replacing the entire product

Support for climate protection projects
Some emissions cannot be completely avoided, which is why we believe it is important to invest in climate protection projects.
Our focus is not on offsetting our emissions at the lowest cost, but on actively supporting a broad and diversified portfolio of projects that contribute to CO2 avoidance and removal worldwide.
For our direct emissions (Scope 1 & 2), we make targeted investments in high-quality carbon removal projects that permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Regarding operational Scope 3 emissions - categories such as business travel, employee mobility and external data centres - we support projects that prevent and reduce CO2 emissions.
Our portfolio aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and includes a variety of projects that both reduce emissions and promote sustainable development.

Recycling of batteries
We ensure that the batteries we bring to the market are properly disposed of and recycled by paying recycling fees as part of our extended producer responsibility. In the DACH region, end-users can return their neoom storage system to designated collection points free of charge at the end of their service life. Our recycling partners comply with national battery regulations and ensure that all processes, from transportation to storage, and recycling, are carried out safely and in compliance with the law. Scientific advancements have managed to increase the recycling rate for battery cells to over 90% with recycling rates of at least 50% also being achieved in practice.
CSRD Compliance
EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive: the first steps
In 2024, neoom has already taken the first steps to meet the requirements of the new EU legislation - well before the company is required to submit a report.
The CSRD tightens and standardises sustainability reporting obligations across Europe following the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). In addition to the corporate carbon footprint, the CSRD also includes social aspects, circular economy regulations and corporate governance issues.
neoom's sustainability department is working continuously to implement the new Directive, ensuring that all necessary information for reporting in 2026 is readily available.
