Hobart recognised for energy efficiency

HOBART receives certificates for Energy and Environmental Management exemplary attitude to climate protection and responsible energy consumption.

30th April 2013 – Environmental protection and energy efficiency are high priorities for HOBART. Now the approach of the manufacturer of dishwashing technology has been officially recognised. The international certification organisation TÜV SÜD has certified HOBART for its exemplary energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001:2011. Moreover, the world market leader commercial dishwashing technology has also been certified by TÜV SÜD Management Service GmbH, a company of the TÜV SÜD Group, for its environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001:2004. Together with the re-certification of its quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001:2008, for HOBART these three certifications form the basis of a sustainable and efficient 'Integrated Management System'. With its energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001, HOBART constantly and systematically optimises its energy performance in order to keep reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the production of its dishwashers HOBART has for years demonstrated a responsible and extremely economical attitude to energy consumption. Since 2011 HOBART has only used renewable energy for its plant in the Black Forest and is thus making a significant contribution to environmental protection.

One fundamental requirement of the energy management system is the constant monitoring and optimisation of energy consumption. To this end, HOBART employs techniques such as using the waste heat from the production process to heat the halls. The results are impressive: Its energy consumption has remained fairly constant since 2006, even though in the same period the number of dishwashers it manufactures each year has almost tripled. HOBART also prides itself on the economy of its products and their careful use of resources. The PREMAX dishwasher range is the most economical in the world and sets new standards in the consumption of energy, water and detergents.

Ecology and the conservation of the climate and environment form the basis of the HOBART corporate strategy along with innovation and profitability. HOBART documents all related activities in its annual sustainability report. In order to achieve the environmental certification in accordance with ISO 14001 the company constantly defines numerous individual measures with the corresponding targets in production, purchasing, new product development and, above all, in product operation.
