What sustainability
means to us
Advancing the transportation revolution with a
climate-friendly approach
We are convinced: electromobility is a big sustainability driver. But e-mobility means more than just e-vehicles.
The goal of our work is to help shape the transportation revolution as sustainably as possible and achieve
a climate-neutral future for mobility.

How sustainable is electromobility?
If you want to assess the sustainability of electromobility, you must take various factors into account, such as which resources are needed in production, how the electricity for charging is generated, or how environmentally friendly the batteries used are.
Sustainability increases or decreases depending on how resource-efficient, low-emission and durable the various components are. E-cars are significantly more sustainable than combustion engines, especially in terms of emissions and the associated CO2 balance. It is important that the various components are produced as environmentally friendly as possible.
And: e-vehicles that are used extensively over a long period of time have a better eco-balance than internal combustion vehicles. They become even more environmentally friendly when charged with electricity from renewable sources, as is the case with our Join tariff.
Would you like to convert your fleet to e-mobility or sustainably install or expand your charging infrastructure? We will be happy to help you implement your projects and power the transportation revolution!
How we work sustainably
Our aim is to inspire you with innovative products and our 360° service, and facilitate
sustainable and economical operations for your company. In the process, we focus on
sustainable product development and long-lasting products.
Modularity
The design of our charging stations is modular; if something goes wrong, individual parts can be easily replaced. Usually, wallboxes and the like are simply scrapped because repairs are not worthwhile or simply not feasible.
Quality
We only use components from renowned manufacturers, which are subject to the highest quality standards. This makes our products exceptionally durable.
Made in Germany
Most of the components for our products come from Germany, just as a large part of our production takes place in Germany. This helps us avoid unnecessary transport – and thus CO2.
Service
We have a large network of service partners throughout Germany. This allows us to reduce unnecessary travel for the installation, commissioning and maintenance of our charging solutions.
At elexon, we work in an
innovative and climate-friendly way!
For us, sustainability doesn’t stop with our products and services. We think holistically
as an employer as well. Our goal is to create the best possible working atmosphere for our
employees. For us, this includes the following points:
- Flexible forms of work make it possible to combine family and career and ensure a good work-life balance.
- We embrace open management and communication and value diversity.
- Our company cars are, without exception, electric vehicles, and our employees have their own wallbox for charging their electric company cars at home.
- In addition, all employees receive special conditions for the installation of a wallbox for their private vehicles.
- Employees without company car have the option of receiving a workbike through deferred compensation. Elexon leases the bike for them and also pays a bonus.
- In addition, we subsidize annual tickets for those who prefer to use public transportation.
- We use 100% green electricity.
- Our offices, built in 2020, have an excellent energy standard and, at 110 kWh/(m².a), are well below the EnEV requirement for a new building.
- We monitor the consumption of resources in our company and, for example, follow a paperless desk policy.
- When selecting our service providers and partners, we value sustainability, e.g. our website is hosted by a climate-neutral service provider.
