HQ opens carport with solar panels

SARIA celebrates the opening of its new solar carport at its headquarters in Selm. Since May, a carport for 60 parking spaces has been built for employees on the southern side of the building. A photovoltaic system on the roof of the carport will generate an average of 160,000 kWh of electricity per year. Mario Löhr, Administrator of the district of Unna, and Thomas Orlowski, Mayor of the city of Selm, have been invited to the official opening ceremony. Since the RETHMANN Group is also headquartered at the site, Norbert Rethmann, Honorary Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the group, has also come to the official opening together with other family members.
 
After eight months of construction, the new carport is now open for the more than 400 employees at the site to park and charge their electric cars. With the construction of the solar park, SARIA is setting an important example for sustainable energy solutions.
SARIA Executive Board member Franz-Bernhard Thier expressed his thanks to the relevant authorities and service providers for their efficient and effective support. Explaining the thinking behind the construction project, he said, “alternative energy solutions have always been an essential aspect of corporate culture at SARIA. Entire divisions of our group have specialized in the production of renewable energies from organic waste. The use of photovoltaic systems to supply electricity to our sites is another aspect of our contribution to climate protection and energy system transformation locally.”
