A good climate in the workplace

Effective climate protection depends on the participation of many individuals. This is why Deutsche Telekom has a systematic policy of informing its employees about climate protection to raise their awareness of the issues.

The E-Fit employee motivation campaign continued in 2008 and was launched throughout Germany by T-Home under the name "E-Fit Reloaded". Deutsche Telekom employees visited colleagues at their desks, offering useful tips on ways to save energy at home and in the workplace.

Well informed
Deutsche Telekom employees are informed about sustainable options at work via information stands at works meetings. For example, employees are told about telephone and data conferences to encourage the use of climate-friendly alternatives to business trips. The climate-neutral telephone and the possibility of taking part in eco-driving courses are also presented. During the mobility weeks everything revolves around the theme of "sustainable mobility". This includes information about season tickets for public transport, and a motor show with natural gas and hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles from the Deutsche Telekom vehicle fleet.

Climate protection pays
Deutsche Telekom staff members have formed an affiliated company and are stakeholders in a photovoltaic (PV) system in Bonn. The system is installed on a Deutsche Telekom building and generates electricity from solar energy with a power output of 30 kilowatts peak (kWp).
