TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
How we live responsibility -
ecologically, socially and economically.
HOW WE LIVE:
Sustainability starts in the mind
Our core business strengthens the stability of renewable energies and promotes the energy transition.
​​
But we go further:
We are constantly looking for ways to support sustainable change beyond our industry.​​
Do you want to see what this looks like?
Here are some examples of how we put sustainability into practice:
Social Responsibility
Education and talent development are, for us, the strongest form of social responsibility. That’s why we invest in young talents and share our knowledge with schools and universities.
​
-
Universities & Teaching: Lectures, workshops, and close partnerships with universities
-
Germany Scholarship: Annual funding for students from various disciplines
-
School Initiatives: Projects such as Naboj or collaborations with local schools to inspire young people for STEM
-
Practical Experience: Internships, working student positions, and thesis supervision as a stepping stone into the energy world
Environmental Responsibility
For us, sustainability starts in everyday life - from conscious choices in the office to global projects that make a real difference.
​
-
Promoting bicycles & public transport through job bikes and travel passes
-
Resource-efficient work with recycled materials & digital workflows
-

Sustainable growth: Quality over quantity, both in new hires and in business decisions
-
Independence: We secure our existence on our own, free from external investors
-
Life-Work balance: For us, balance means consciously shaping working hours and free time

Energy transition at the core: Our business model is designed to efficiently integrate renewable energies into the market​​
OPTIMAX ENERGY &
EDEN REFORESTATION PROJECT
WHY TREES?
Reforestation - the key to
climate crisis
Together with our partner, Eden Reforestation Projects, we plant 5 mangroves in Madagascar for every gigawatt hour traded and 250 mangroves per business partner and employee each year.
Between 2020 and 2024, we've planted 568,000 mangroves.
Reforestation is highly effective in addressing the climate crisis, as trees absorb carbon and reduce greenhouse gases.
Mangrove forests are particularly efficient, storing up to five times more carbon than other forests and purifying around 12 kg of CO2 per tree annually. They also protect biodiversity and prevent coastal erosion.
In Madagascar, a hotspot for species conservation, local communities are involved in reforestation projects, providing secure jobs and regular income.
Betsiboka River, Morahavio, Madagascar
OPTIMAX SUPPORTS:
Mangrove Reforestation at the Betsiboka River
The Betsiboka River, lined with mangroves, is vital for the community of Moraharivo.
Previously, mangroves were cleared for charcoal production.
Our project promotes sustainable mangrove planting and management to prevent further destruction and create new forests.
