TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
How we live responsibility -
ecologically, socially and economically.
HOW WE LIVE:
Sustainability starts in the mind
Our core business strengthens the stability of renewable energies and promotes the energy transition.
​​
But we go further: we are constantly looking for ways to support sustainable change beyond our industry.
​​
Want to know what that looks like?
Here are some examples of how we live sustainability:
Social Responsibility
We create a work environment where people feel comfortable and can grow.
This includes health offers like massages and sports activities, regular team events, and a supportive day-to-day culture.
​
We also take onboarding seriously, giving new team members the time and attention they need to arrive and connect.
Our free and balanced lunches don’t just promote well-being – they also bring people together.
Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability starts with everyday habits – small choices that add up to real impact.
We support cycling and public transport, use recycled printer paper, and reduce waste wherever we can.
Our office is filled with greenery, and even home offices are supported with plants.
We serve fresh fruit and vegetables, partly from regional sources, and we support long-term reforestation projects to make a difference beyond our industry.
Economic Sustainability
We think long term – building stable teams and future-ready processes.
That includes ergonomic workspaces, energy-efficient infrastructure, and streamlined digital workflows.
​
Each team member can dedicate 10% of their working time to personal or professional development.
We also promote job rotation across departments – because understanding the bigger picture helps everyone work better together and grow individually.

WHY TREES?
Reforestation - the key to
climate crisis
Together with our partner, Eden Reforestation Projects, we plant 5 mangroves in Madagascar for every gigawatt hour traded and 250 mangroves per business partner and employee each year.
Between 2020 and 2024, we've planted 568,000 mangroves.
Reforestation is highly effective in addressing the climate crisis, as trees absorb carbon and reduce greenhouse gases.
Mangrove forests are particularly efficient, storing up to five times more carbon than other forests and purifying around 12 kg of CO2 per tree annually. They also protect biodiversity and prevent coastal erosion.
In Madagascar, a hotspot for species conservation, local communities are involved in reforestation projects, providing secure jobs and regular income.

OPTIMAX SUPPORTS:
Mangrove Reforestation at the Betsiboka River
The Betsiboka River, lined with mangroves, is vital for the community of Moraharivo.
Previously, mangroves were cleared for charcoal production.
Our project promotes sustainable mangrove planting and management to prevent further destruction and create new forests.
