Eco-balance inputs

Over 80% of the energies used at Pfaffenhofen HQ come from renewable energy sources. Since 2001, the entire heat, hot water and steam demands in the HiPP factory have been covered by the use of biomass (wood chips). The electricity used comes from 100% CO2-neutral “green electricity” from hydroelectric power plants – without nuclear power. Since 2000, 6 solar projects have been realised, which produce a total of 52,800 kWh/a from solar energy on a collector surface of 436 m². All organic waste goes to agricultural biogas plants. Every year 2 million kWh of electricity is generated in this way.

HiPP is the largest processor of organic-biological raw materials worldwide. More than 6,000 farmers in many countries are involved in the production of organic fruit, organic vegetables and organic meat for HiPP.

Thanks to the HiPP Organic cultivation, 15,000 ha of soil and groundwater are protected annually from over 4,000 tonnes of artificial fertilisers and 5,000 kg of pesticides.
