Our responsibility.
As Managing Director of gabo Systemtechnik GmbH sustainability is of utmost importance for me.
We at gabocom define sustainability comprehensively.
For us, it implies environmental protection, reduction of resource consumption as well as employee safety and security.
With our durable, long-living products we support the fibre rollout. Fibre broadband is innovative, performant and the transmission technology with the lowest energy consumption.
We are now certified for sustainability and have established a catalogue of measures to improve further.
Together we will develop gabocom into a leader in sustainability in the telecoms supplier industry.
Statement Johannes Pruchnow, Managing Director
As a finance professional, I always emphasize the importance of having data and numbers at the center of our decision making process. For that, we need transparency and that’s what we are committed to.
gabocom is not only your future network partner but also a key promoter of sustainability, by offering long lasting products in the most carbon efficient way.
Robert Binder, Managing Director Finance
Transparency about our emissions is key but reducing it is even better, so that’s why we at gabocom committ today to ambitious climate targets:
With these long-term commitments our business sets the vision to build future networks to connect people in a truly sustainable way, leaving no carbon footprint in our planet by 2040. This puts gabocom not only among the top European climate leaders but sets also a high standard for all the stakeholders involved in our business.
We know this is a challenging journey but we also know it’s very much needed, especially in the telecom suppliers industry. That’s why we also take this opportunity to invite our suppliers and customers to join us on this road towards carbon neutrality. Together, we can leave a better planet to our children.

Sustainability and resource protection have always been important to gabocom. The durability and efficiency of our products is just as important as many big and small optimisations to conserve resources. Great successes have already been achieved in recent years, for example:
In 2014, gabocom set itself the goal of reducing electricity consumption per kg of material produced by 3% until 2020:
Thanks to these and many other measures, as well as the great commitment of the employees, it was possible to achieve the set goal already in 2015, i.e. after only one year. By 2020, gabocom's electricity consumption per kg of material produced was reduced by more than 14%.
We are carbon transparent.But we won't rest on our laurels: in 2021, an extensive and continuous data analysis was kicked-off. Besides these measures discussed above, we now want to collect, control and share our carbon emissions. gabocom is now carbon transparent. Thanks to our external partner .planetly and our highly committed employees, we are now able to collect and calculate all of our emissions from all departments on a yearly basis. Our emissions will be published every year in a report, following the GHG protocol and giving full transparency to everyone about our CO₂ footprint and further reduction and other measures taken. Protecting our planet and operating more sustainably is a collective mission so being transparent about our footprint and efforts is a key priority at gabocom. |
