Sustainability at neoom
We have big ambitions to make a significant contribution to achieving the energy transition - because we want to save a gigaton of CO2 equivalents together with our customers and partners! And we are already in the thick of it.

Energy transition
Change for our future
neoom is working on the energy transition every day. The biggest lever in the fight against the climate crisis is to obtain energy from sustainable sources.
Decentralised renewable energy makes this possible:
Reduction
of greenhouse gases from electricity production & thus clean air
Democratisation of the energy supply
many people benefit from the production & use of electricity
Resilient power grids & minimising energy losses
during transport via the power grid
Energy transition
We have the solutions
More than two thirds of European greenhouse gas emissions come from the use of fossil fuels for electricity, heat and transport.
We have market-ready solutions based on renewable energies for the majority of these challenges.
At neoom, we work every day to achieve an impact with our products.
Climate protection is important to us - also as a company! That is why we have been calculating neoom's carbon footprint since 2021, deriving reduction measures from this and investing in climate protection projects and innovative technologies to reduce CO2. We attach great importance to transparency and disclose in which areas of the company (scopes) emissions occur and how we take responsibility for our emissions.

How much is a gigaton of CO2?
It is virtually impossible to imagine a gigaton.
Here is an attempt to make this figure tangible: One gigaton is 1,000,000,000 tonnes of CO2.
Currently, 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 a saving of 25 per cent of the EU's annual greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal is to save 1 gigaton of CO2 by 2040, which corresponds to 1.5% of EU emissions in the same period.
Corporate Carbon Footprint
Since 2021, neoom has been recording its corporate carbon footprint annually and can therefore track exactly where which emissions come from.
neoom's commitment to the environment
The emissions from neoom sites are offset by ambitious climate protection projects.
Recording of product emissions
Since 2023, neoom storage facilities have been included in the CO2 balance.
Service and support
Personalised support and repairs enable long-lasting customer satisfaction and increase product service life.
Responsible use of resources
neoom offers durable and safe products with high recycling potential and works continuously with our partners to keep resources in the cycle.

Reducing the CO2 footprint
The primary goal is always to reduce emissions. This is the only way to make a significant contribution to a sustainable climate future. neoom does this primarily through the sale of intelligent solar storage power plants.
Even without a green business model, every company should start reducing emissions at company locations, in its vehicle fleet and when travelling on business. The next step is to reduce supply chain emissions through collaboration with partners.
neoom favours 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 station
neoom Rotkreuz - Switzerland
5-minute walk from the railway station, PV system + charging stations
neoom vehicle fleet
Conversion to 100% e-mobility by 2030 - 85% of the neoom fleet is already electric. In 2023, an impressive 2 million kilometres were covered with e-cars
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

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.
The focus here is not on offsetting our emissions at the best price, 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.
With regard to 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 is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and includes a variety of projects that contribute to both reducing emissions and promoting sustainable development.

Recycling of batteries
We ensure that the batteries we place on the market are disposed of and recycled appropriately by paying recycling fees when they are placed on the market. These are due as part of the extended producer responsibility. Throughout the DACH region, end customers can return their neoom storage system to a designated collection point free of charge at the end of its service life. Our recycling partners adhere to the standards of the applicable national battery ordinance and ensure that everything from transport to storage and recycling is done safely and in compliance with the law. Science has now managed to increase the recycling rate for battery cells to >90% and recycling rates of at least 50% are also achieved in practice.
CSRD Conformity
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 legislative proposal - well before the company is obliged to submit a report.
The CSRD Directive tightens and standardises reporting obligations across Europe in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). In addition to the corporate carbon footprint, the CSRD also includes social aspects, regulations on the circular economy and corporate governance issues.
neoom's sustainability department is working continuously to implement the new directive so that all the information required for reporting in 2026 is available smoothly.
