In a constantly changing work environment, our company values remain the stable foundation on which we grow together.
Those who work at ABO Energy are passionate about the possibilities of renewable energies. We believe that a net-zero world is possible. Contributing to climate protection motivates and unites us. We drive our mission with technical and commercial expertise while remaining down-to-earth, fair and reliable. We keep our promises and maintain transparency in all business processes.
Whether at Open Houses, in press releases or on the intranet, we provide comprehensive information about our decisions and their background so that all employees and stakeholders have the opportunity to make informed decisions. At the same time, we rely on the commitment and expertise of our employees and give them creative leeway to make their own decisions. Our work is not characterised by hierarchies, but by competences and a shared desire to successfully participate in the energy transition.
We see ourselves as a community in which each and every individual counts. Everyone can be their true, authentic self here. The warm atmosphere is felt in the corridors and common rooms, where many colleagues meet to cook and eat at lunchtime. The friendly interaction between staff, from working students to Managing Directors, is an expression of our communal culture. Honesty, respectful interaction, and authenticity are important to us; we gladly do without status symbols.
Supporting each other, sharing knowledge, and finding solutions together is at the core of our work. That is why we also organise our work collectively: Central tasks are conducted in interdisciplinary project groups. Here, everyone contributes their ideas on an equal footing: Employees from different departments including, among others, project development, financing, environmental protection, construction, and electrical work together to decide how they can best implement hydrogen and hybrid projects, wind and solar farms.
We value listening to our employees and taking their opinions seriously. Every opinion, every idea and every piece of feedback is valuable. We show appreciation through transparency and openness. Our managers communicate clearly and honestly, share company goals and challenges, and create an environment of trust. We acknowledge and praise good performance, whether from individuals or groups. We celebrate successes together – whether at parties or other events – and make them visible.
At ABO Energy, people with diverse cultural backgrounds, abilities and worldviews work together. We are curious and open to new perspectives. We consider the cultural diversity and internationality of our workforce as a strength and an enrichment. Mutual respect, which excludes any kind of harassment, intolerance, and discrimination, is a matter of course for us. The well-being of our employees is the basis for the well-being of our company.
Our industry is subject to constant change, and our company is just as dynamic. That is why we have a particularly large number of people working for us with a distinct hands-on attitude and an agile mindset. New technologies, new markets, new countries: We anticipate trends and react openly and flexibly to new circumstances such as changing regulations. This enables us to make the right decisions at the right time. We find creative solutions to technically complex challenges.
This includes a constructive approach to dealing with mistakes: Mistakes are allowed and help us grow. Through open communication and constructive feedback, we ensure that mistakes are addressed and analysed at an early stage. This way, we learn from them together and continually develop our wealth of experience. At the same time, we are not afraid to take calculated risks and balance them wisely.
Risk is part of our business. Boldly and with optimism, we take on the challenges of the future and are ready to break new ground.
Our projects are not self-serving but make ecological and economic sense. Solid economic management is essential to pay fair wages, pay dividends, grow sustainably – and to promote the energy transition. In this way, we create added value for the company, our employees and society. That is why we regularly review our strategy, business areas, and individual projects.
Thanks to short decision-making paths and competent, well-informed employees, we bring projects to a speedy and pragmatic conclusion. Our employees not only feel responsible for their respective tasks, but also think like entrepreneurs and keep the company‘s best interests in mind. We encourage our employees to contribute suggestions and ideas for improving workflows and actively help shape them. This is how we constantly improve our processes – independently of responsibilities – and adapt them to changing requirements.
