The Bayerische EnergieEffizienz-Netzwerk-Initiative (BEEN-i) stands for effective collaboration with the aim of strengthening the energy efficiency of the Bavarian economy. During the annual convention on the occasion of the tenth anniversary in November the successes in recent years took center stage. In conjunction with that focus, Schreiner Group was recognized for its long-standing commitment and outstanding energy efficiency results.

The convention was focused on inspiration from the business community and policymakers plus practical examples from participating companies. Now encompassing 86 networks, BEEN-I has evolved into an important driver for energy efficiency and competitiveness in Bavaria. Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger emphasized, “More than 800 companies show that energy efficiency and economic success are not opposites. They prove that self-initiative, innovation, and entrepreneurial courage provide the best basis for saving resources and remaining competitive in the process.

In addition, during the event, six companies— including Schreiner Group—that are especially active in the initiative were recognized. The award was presented by Hubert Aiwanger, Bavarian State Minister for Economic Affairs, State Development, and Energy. As one of the first members, Schreiner Group has stood for achieving convincing energy efficiency success for ten years. Besides the company’s constant commitment specific actions such as the heat pump house were instrumental in winning this recognition. “My thanks go to all committed companies and our partners from chambers and associations that have been implementing this initiative since 2015,” said Aiwanger.

For Schreiner Group, Dr. Thomas Gulden, Head of Environmental and Occupational Safety, accepted the award. In a subsequent presentation, he covered projects and developments with which the energy efficiency of the family business has been continuously increased in recent years. The recognition underlines Schreiner Group’s contribution to the Bavarian Energy Efficiency Initiative and shows how long-term commitment and consistent actions can lead to measurable successes.
