MLP encourages environmental friendly behaviour

Although MLP has only limited influence on the environment as a financial and investment adviser, the relevant areas within our company are geared to environmental awareness and friendliness.

Since their construction, the buildings of MLP AG in Wiesloch are supplied with heat and regenerative energy solely via the local heat network of the Wiesloch biomass heating station. The environmentally friendly heat is generated by burning natural wood harvested during countryside and forestry maintenance work in the region. Using renewable raw materials in this way allows long-term, CO2-neutral energy generation with a carbon dioxide saving of more than 620 tonnes per year compared to conventional oil heating.

Among other areas, MLP Facility Management and Group Purchasing also built on their measures to increase energy efficiency and energy optimisation as well as environmentally friendly use of resources in the financial year 2008. Points of note here include the frequency- controlled pump technology in the heating system, the technology for central control of the heating, ventilation, sanitary and electrical installations, as well as an air conditioning system with reduced consumption thanks to free cooling and use of natural night-time cooling to reduce the room temperatures in summer.
