What role does sustainability play in your job?  

Since my training as an electrical engineering maintenance technician, I have been walking through production with my eyes wide open to ensure that operating resources are saved or reused, for example.

Making optimum use of resources and avoiding waste is part of my everyday work, so I have a very trained eye. It's about keeping production running at the lowest possible cost, which encourages thinking in terms of sustainability.

After training as a master craftsman, my work in international resource procurement at DRÄXLMAIER in China made me even more aware of this.  

I recently took on a new role in energy management at the Landau site. We measure and analyze energy consumption, for example in building technology, in order to ensure the most sustainable, cost-effective and efficient supply possible. Digitalization helps us to do this and I really enjoy driving forward the use of these intelligent tools.

Do you also strive for a sustainable lifestyle in your everyday life?

It is important to me to consume consciously and to make good use of food, for example. I've also been involved since I was young, I've helped organize waste collection campaigns and I'm involved in fundraising campaigns as part of my voluntary work with the fire department and the emergency services.

Do you have any practical tips and tricks for more sustainability in everyday life?

Consuming more seasonal and regional produce is more expensive, but it's good value. And when you treat yourself to something: Enjoy consciously.
