Communication is Key – Annual Report 2009

Ecology

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, Germany, have been supplied with heat and regenerative energy via the local heat network of the Wiesloch biomass heating plant. The environmentally friendly heat is generated by burning natural wood harvested during countryside and forestry maintenance work in the region. Benefit: MLP saves more than 620 tonnes of carbon dioxide over conventional oil heating every year. In addition to this, MLP Facility Management and Group Purchasing also built on their measures to increase energy efficiency and energy optimisation as well as the environmentally friendly use of resources.

On January 29, 2009, the Manfred Görlitz Foundation (founded in 1995) was presented with the Feri Foundation Award. This award comes with € 25,000 in sponsorship and has been presented by Feri Finance Group every year since 2005. The foundation initiates and promotes innovative projects and courses that encourage children and young people to use energy in a sensible and sustainable manner and also show how energy can be generated and recovered.
