“Together, we can make a difference!”

In the interview with Bernard Sextus, Director Operations of Leadec India, you can learn more about how every little contribution to climate protection counts, how data can be used to improve awareness and what Leadec colleagues in India actively do. 

We need to equip people with the knowledge and tools to act in their everyday lives. This means explaining complex environmental issues in simple terms, focusing on practical solutions. For example, instead of just talking about the importance of energy conservation, we can show people how switching off lights in unoccupied rooms can save electricity. People must understand that saving electricity doesn’t mean only saving costs, but it primarily means saving natural resources.

You mentioned awareness as a key. How can you improve this? 

Data helps us to make the invisible visible. One strategy is to set key performance indicators (KPIs) for environmental impact at each of our sites. These targets track metrics like energy and water consumption. By monitoring these KPIs closely, we can identify areas for improvement and track our progress over time. 

Can you share a specific example of an environmental initiative undertaken by your team? 

In 2023, we launched a comprehensive environmental awareness campaign targeting 2,000 of our employees in India. The campaign incorporated educational elements to empower employees to make informed choices. We provided practical tips on how to conserve energy and water in the workplace. This initiative proved highly successful, and we saw a significant increase in employee engagement in environmental issues.
