Sustainability is deeply rooted in our identity. As a pioneer in battery-free and wireless IoT solutions, we have long integrated environmental responsibility into our products and operations. Our first Sustainability Report 2023/2024 highlights this commitment — showing the steps we’ve taken, the progress we’ve achieved, and the ambitions guiding us forward. It demonstrates how innovation and responsibility go hand in hand on our path toward a more sustainable future.
Our innovative energy harvesting wireless technology has made a significant impact in reducing carbon emissions. As of the end of June 2025 and with over 22 Mio. devices sold, we could save a remarkable 1,619,703 tons of CO₂, thanks to our self-powered solutions that eliminate the need for batteries or cables and that help make buildings more energy efficient. This achievement is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and our role in creating a greener future. By utilizing our technology, businesses cannot only save on energy costs but also contribute to a more sustainable planet.
Additionally to the production of building materials, the majority of CO₂ emissions comes from the burning of fossil fuels for heating, cooling, and powering buildings. This is where EnOcean makes a difference!
It’s more important than ever to reduce our impact on the environment and ensure a sustainable future for the generations to come. Especially buildings are responsible for a significant portion of global CO₂ emissions. IoT solutions from EnOcean are key examples of how sustainability can be achieved through innovative technology.
Intelligent IoT solutions like EnOcean Spaces help companies to reduce CO₂ emissions of their office buildings, save energy and costs, optimize office space, and create a healthy and comfortable working environment.
Energy efficiency
Self-powered sensors monitor occupancy, temperature, and light levels. Heating, cooling, and lighting systems will be adjusted to optimize energy consumption.
Smart spaces
Desksharing is an essential part of the Smart Spaces solution from EnOcean. It ensures a higher utilization of office space and allows flexible working. In return, companies save energy costs and rent.
Smart lighting
Using lighting systems to capture, transport and export sensor data is a great opportunity to monetize the investment and to enable smart spaces for more sustainability.
Maintenance-free
Self-powered devices from EnOcean don`t require batteries at all. This not only eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements, but also reduces the amount of waste generated from discarded batteries.
Easy installation
EnOcean devices do not require wires or batteries, they can be installed quickly and easily, reducing the time and cost of retrofitting existing buildings.
Batteries require 500 times more energy to produce than they later supply, and contain many harmful substances such as cadmium, lead and mercury. The energy source for self-powered, wireless EnOcean sensors is 100% clean, renewable and for free.
They ‘harvest’ energy from light, movement, or temperature differences in their immediate surroundings and use it to power their operation and radio communication via the open standards EnOcean, Bluetooth or Zigbee.
