Eschborn, October 31, 2023 – Techem, one of the leading service providers for smart and sustainable buildings, has held the “berufundfamilie” certificate since September 30, 2023. The energy service provider thus commits itself to a three-year project plan with concrete goals for the compatibility of work, family and private lives of its employees. Progress is to be reviewed annually in an audit.
“The compatibility of work, family and private life is becoming increasingly important in today’s world. The social dimension plays a key role in our sustainability strategy, which is why we are using the certificate and the related project plan to focus on concrete solutions that support our employees in all phases of their lives,” says Matthias Hartmann, CEO of Techem.

Techem developed the planned measures and goals in advance in a workshop together with employees from different areas, locations and hierarchy levels. These include, for example, a mentoring program for junior managers or support for employees with relatives in need of care. The goals for the next three years are anchored in the sustainability strategy and divided into eight fields of action - from working hours to services for families. Techem will report to the internal Sustainability Council three times a year in the future to monitor the progress being made.
