Corporate Social Responsibility

As a global company, KACO new energy GmbH bears a great responsibility. We conduct our business in accordance with the laws and regulations of all countries in which we operate. Corporate responsibility is ingrained in our corporate philosophy and is a part of our corporate culture. Corporate social responsibility entails not only the company’s efforts in the area of environmental and climate protection, but also our intensive involvement in social and ethical areas.

Staying true to the motto “Committed to mankind”, KACO wants to share the company’s success with those who are less privileged too. For example, KACO has made donations in the past to support victims of terrorism from Beslan and to support Target, the organisation led by Rüdiger Nehberg against female genital mutilation. The paediatric clinic foundation “Große Hilfe für kleine Helden” (Big help for little heroes) received 200,000 Euros in 2010 too. Grid-tie inverters were donated, for example, to the association “Päpstlicher Solarstrom für die berufliche Jugend in Europa” (Papal solar energy for youth at work in Europe).

In today’s globalised economy, we have to deal with a large number of suppliers. As we will not tolerate any breach of our basic values in the area of corporate social responsibility, we safeguard these values by using a code of conduct based on the UN Global Compact initiative.

Through our social involvement, we want to make a contribution towards a society that is ready to meet future challenges. We are convinced: The more we integrate social responsibility into our business, the more successful we will be in the market.
