Corporate policy is not always transpar- ent. It is therefore all the more important to clarify the processes and discussions on which our decisions are based and to present them in an understandable way to our customers, shareholders, employees and business partners. Now that the German market has stabilised to a considerable degree, we see significant growth potential above all in foreign expansion, especially in plant construction, our genuine busi- ness field. With all our expansion, however, we never lose our keen sense for our customers! We are ready at all times to support our domestic and international customers with our services. This applies both to com- plex issues like direct marketing of electricity or repowering or just a broken temperature display: We‘re there for you! This is the promise that our employees fulfil each and every day. With their many years of know-how and their commitment to the green all-rounder biogas, they contribute to the highest degree to the success of EnviTec Biogas – and demonstrate a motivation which is simply contagious. Our ex- pectations for this business year were surpassed by our subsidiaries, Energy and Stromkontor, which were already founded in 2011. This is where all the work was done which was recently honoured with the dena Biogas Partner Award. Our prize-winning business model of pro- viding green heat ‚from the renewable source to the domestic heating system‘, so to speak, is proving a success, which is something we have our employees and the interest of our customers to thank. On this note, we hope this magazine will peak your interest and look forward to your feedback and to your entries for the next issue!
