Our steps towards greater sustainability
of Füchse Berlin
Our approach to sustainability
The concept of sustainability encompasses far more than just environmental and climate protection. A company acts sustainably when it pursues economic, environmental and social objectives simultaneously. We are implementing specific measures at our sites to save energy and conserve resources.
Below, we outline the measures we have already implemented and the goals we have set ourselves for the future.
Environmental sustainability
Energy management in the workplace
Frequency-controlled compressors
CSB Schimmel uses frequency-controlled compressors to generate compressed air. They supply exactly the amount of compressed air our mechanics need at any given moment, thereby reducing energy losses compared with unregulated systems. A new compressed air system has been installed at the Hohenschönhausen branch. With Boge’s ‘Fokus Control 2.0 system’, we have further optimised energy efficiency at this site. As our workshop’s compressed air requirements vary, we benefit particularly from the frequency control. At present, such a system is only in use at our largest branch, as that is where compressed air demand is highest.
Variable-speed heating pump
CSB Schimmel is gradually switching from conventional heating pumps to variable-speed heating pumps. This technology automatically regulates the pump output according to the current heating demand, thereby reducing electricity consumption compared with unregulated pumps. At the Hohenschönhausen and Bernau sites, only variable-speed heating pumps are now installed.
Speed-controlled ventilation system
Our in-house paint shop has been retrofitted with a variable-speed ventilation system. This has enabled us to significantly reduce electricity consumption during the painting process – the annual energy savings amount to between 15 per cent and 35 per cent.
Social sustainability
Social sustainability refers to the preservation and promotion of a fair and inclusive society by taking into account the needs and rights of all people. A fundamental pillar of our corporate culture is our social responsibility towards our employees and partners.
We support local clubs
Since 2016, we have maintained a close partnership with Sportforum Berlin. At CSB Schimmel, we believe it is important for children, teenagers and young adults to have access to sporting activities. That is why we support regional sports clubs and provide them with vehicles. Since 2016, CSB Schimmel has been providing a sports coach free of charge to financially disadvantaged sports clubs affiliated with Sportforum Berlin, enabling teams to travel together to training courses, competitions and training camps. Since 2022, we have been a partner of the Förderverein Obersee & Orankesee e. V., an organisation dedicated to the development of the area, fostering a local community network and protecting the environment and nature. In addition, we support the Schwarz-Gold Tennis Club in Hohenschönhausen and the Judo-Verband Berlin e. V. with regular donations, thereby promoting young sporting talent in the region.
Corporate events
As a socially responsible employer, we also take responsibility for our staff. Through joint activities and by celebrating the goals we have achieved, we aim to give something back to our staff.
Regular staff training
The professional development of our staff is important to us – in terms of both technical and interpersonal skills, ranging from system training and workshop sessions to communication. Every year, CSB Schimmel organises numerous training and development courses, in the form of group seminars or one-to-one coaching sessions, either in person or online. We will continue to prioritise the professional development of our staff in the future.
5 quick questions for CSB Schimmel Automobile
As a car dealer, we are committed to ensuring your personal or commercial mobility. Our many years of expertise lie in passenger cars and commercial vehicles up to 8.5 tonnes.
Our expertise can be divided into two main areas: On the one hand, vehicle advice and provision, and on the other hand, vehicle-related services. In addition, we are committed to acting in an economically, socially and ecologically sustainable manner.
Mobility requirements can only be defined individually. That is why CSB Schimmel Automobile also offers attractive alternatives to traditional car sales. You can rent, lease or subscribe to vehicles from us. We also provide car-sharing vehicles.
Our range of drive types is just as diverse. Alternative drive systems are our speciality. Schimmel Automobile offers hybrids, plug-in hybrids, vehicles with electric drive and fuel cell vehicles from the brands Hyundai, Mitsubishi, FUSO, MG, MAXUS and Cenntro.
Our trained staff will guide you to the best decision for you in a customer-orientated manner. We will provide you with all the important information on the various purchase options and drive types.
But mobility assurance does not end with the sale. Our Schimmel mechanics ensure the necessary safety of the vehicle. Whether maintenance or repairs, we make sure that your car fulfils all safety requirements.
Mobility without the car is not suitable for everyone. We assume that cars and, above all, commercial vehicles will continue to define mobility equally in the future.
Our concern therefore remains mobility according to your wishes - but as sustainably as possible.
For us, sustainability is divided into the following areas: Economic sustainability, social sustainability and ecological sustainability. It is an important core concern of CSB Schimmel Automobile.
Schimmel has been riding for a long time. Albeit step by step, but steadily into the green and with some successes! We offer a variety of environmentally friendly drive systems as well as various alternatives to the traditional car purchase.
We are also constantly optimising our locations with the goal of sustainability. By making big and bold decisions, we have already achieved a lot and reduced our "CO2 hoofprint
".
For us as a car dealership, however, sustainability also means constant change in the future. All the better that we are already practised in this.
