Volkswind / About us / Mission and vision

Tailwind to the Energy Transition

Our goal is to increase the share of wind energy in the energy mix. In the next years, we have set ourselves the goal of installing 3 GW of wind energy across Europe. We are passionate about preserving our planet for future generations.

Sustainability

For us, environmental protection and sustainability are not empty words; we live these values. Nevertheless, we are also aware of our economic responsibility and implement our projects in harmony with economy and ecology.

Sustainability is part of our business: ecologically, socially and economically sustainable goals shape our strategy and guide our daily actions.

Volkswind makes an important contribution to the energy transition: We take responsibility for environmentally friendly energy production and actively support the climate goals in Germany and Europe.

As a member of all major wind associations, we engage in public relations work for wind energy. (member of France Energie Eolienne, Federal Wind Energy Association, Bundesverband Windenergie, ‚Verband Romania, Verband Finnland etc. )

Diversity and Inclusion

Volkswind lives a culture that is free of prejudices regarding age, gender, origin, religion or sexual orientation. For us, the only thing that counts is people. Volkswind promotes diversity within the company and maintains a corporate culture based on mutual respect, regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic or social origin, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual orientation or identity.

Commitment to nature and landscape

According to the Federal Nature Conservation Act, unavoidable interventions in nature and the landscape must be minimized and compensated for through compensatory and replacement measures or compensation. In European nature conservation law, impairments in Natura 2000 protected areas and protected species should be avoided. This also includes the construction of renewable energy systems.

The company seriously advocates for legal requirements, preferring local measures rather than substitute money. Climate protection and nature conservation should not be mutually exclusive.

When it comes to new wind turbines, Volkswind takes avoidance and compensatory measures approved by nature conservation authorities into account at an early stage.

Volkswind works with communities and residents to find suitable measures. Joint projects protect fauna and flora and enhance nature and landscape ecologically, often even beyond what is necessary.
