Mission and Vision

Why we advocate the use of renewable energies

Environmental damages, accelerated climate change and military conflicts over scarce resources are the consequences of national economies, meeting their energy needs with conventional technologies. ABO Wind is one of the pioneers, who started in 1996 to work on reforming the energy sector. The wind farms we have erected so far prevent the emission of 600.000 tons of carbon dioxide each year. This considerable success is rather moderate, given the global threat of climate change and the, despite all the world-wide programs, continuous growth of CO² emission levels. Management and employees of ABO Wind are convinced that the efforts to reduce greenhouse gases still have to be considerably increased. We want to contribute to this effort.
According to our understanding of responsible business practices, economic success and ecological benefit are mutually dependant. Our team combines idealism with realism and know-how. We are market-oriented. Prudent mercantile behavior, accuracy in planning and ethical-ecological responsibility characterize ABO Wind. Our employees are highly motivated and qualified. They are working self-reliantly and keep the welfare of the company in mind.
For us, the maximization of profit is no end in itself. We pursue business models which are profitable and at the same time answer the goal of preventing further acceleration of climate change. Aside from wind power as our core business, we see the greatest potential for reaching this goal in the use of biomass energy.

How ABO Wind operates

1. We use local potential and strengthen the region

Wind and biomass are locally available resources. The utilization of these resources for the decentralized production of energy strengthens the regional creation of value, creates jobs, stabilizes energy prices and increases economic wealth. Economically weak regions can benefit from secure lease income, construction contracts, long-term trade taxes and environmental compensation measures.

2. We are reliable and fair

Residents, property owners, politicians and investors know ABO Wind as a fair and reliable business partner. We work for a sane environment – this is also reflected in our business conduct. The projects we are developing are to be beneficial for all participants. We feel responsible for our plants – also after the commissioning. With information, dialogue, site visites we advance the acceptance of our wind farms among the local habitants.

3. We make the best out of every site and pay attention to the landscape

It is imperative for the economical and ecological rationality to realize the highest possible energy output for each facility. Through sophisticated analysis, we determine suitable locations and build wind and bio-energy facilities, using state-of-the-art technologies in order to produce as much power, biogas and warmth as possible. Highly efficient facilities contribute stronger to climate protection and reduce land take.

4. Profitable and friendly: It’s fun to work with ABO Wind

Common goals unite our staff. We work as a team towards global climate protection and the economic success of the company. A pleasant environment strengthens our feeling of togetherness. The colleagues of ABO Wind interact respectfully and friendly with each other. The work leaves enough time for personal interests. Many of our employees have children. It is the desire of management to afford jobs which leave room for a fulfilled family life.
