trans-o-flex began switching its electricity supply to renewable energy sources back in 2007. A new agreement with the Mannheim energy supplier MVV Energie ensures the delivery of power from renewable sources until the end of 2028. MVV Energie guarantees that the electricity supplied to trans-o-flex is produced 100% in renewable-energy installations. The new three-year contract, which officially started on 1 January 2026, stipulates an annual delivery of 16,263 megawatt hours of electricity. “The procurement of electricity from renewable sources forms a tried and tested element in our sustainability strategy and has reduced our environmental footprint for years,” points out trans-o-flex CEO Martin Reder.

According to the German Environment Agency, the average German power mix produced 363 grams of CO₂ per kilowatt hour in 2024. Set against this, trans-o-flex’s annual procurement of 16,263 MWh from renewables prevents more than 5,903 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Roughly 246,000 trees would be required to bind the same amount of CO₂ in one year in Germany. The calculation is based on the assumption that a tree in Germany binds an average of around 24 kilograms of CO2 per year.
