Happy birthday #NewOne! 🎉 

Exactly a year ago #TeamHaniel moved into our cool new offices on #EnkelfähigCampus. Our 100 years old headquarter had been redesigned and renovated to a collaborative workplace reflecting our new work culture. With open team and community areas as well as meeting rooms for different needs NewOne offers a lot of opportunities and is a great place to work.

This is what we have learned in the last year:  🔎 
1. Feels like home: A good atmosphere and modern surroundings helped a lot with motivating the teams to come back to the office. However, intelligent building control doesn't always have to be intelligent – a misplaced sensor can cause the sun blinds ☀ to move up and down randomly 😅 
2. Socializing across teams: Open areas and meeting zones at the bar or on the balcony offer many opportunities to interact with colleagues from other teams, even informally and by chance☕. And since there is no longer the classic waste bin under the desk (which many people miss), people often meet in the kitchen.
3. Living a hybrid culture with modern technology 💻: When home and office have a lot to discuss, technology has to work. Our modern meeting rooms make quick meetings a lot easier 😍.

We are happy about our new home and thank everyone who made NewOne possible! To celebrate the day we’re having cake today for everyone! 🎂

🌿 Happy International Plant Appreciation Day! 🌿

As we celebrate the beauty of nature today, let's put a spotlight on the crucial role that plants play in combating climate change: Absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thus helping to mitigate the impacts of greenhouse gases and stabilize our climate.

Our green #EnkelfähigCampus is the home of a biodiverse compensation area but as well to several old trees that bear witness to our history. Meet the oldest of them: At least 175 years old, our Ginkgo has definitely seen a lot of change. The 20 metre high tree dates back to the first half of the 19th century and perhaps even offered Franz Haniel himself a shady place to relax.

Nowadays, it welcomes every visitor as they enter the campus.

Der neue Sneaker Haniel von Grubenhelden GmbH ist da! 👟 

Es ist uns eine Freude und Ehre zugleich, dass Grubenhelden den Schuh Franz Haniel gewidmet hat. So können wir stolz unsere Bergbau-Geschichte in jedem dieser Sneaker wiederfinden.

„Kauen“ sind die Badelatschen der Bergleute. Die mintgrüne Sohle des Sneakers ist in einem Wabenmuster gestaltet, wie es die Kumpel damals nach der Schicht in ihren Kauenlatschen trugen. Damit ist der Sneaker Haniel der erste Schuh, der die Geschichte des Ruhrbergbaus erzählt. Außerdem ist er aus ressourcenschonendem Material, fair und vegan in Europa produziert und passt damit perfekt in unsere #enkelfähige Vision einer lebenswerten Zukunft. 

Der Schuh kommt in drei coolen Farben und ist in den Größen 36 bis 47 erhältlich. Wir können es kaum erwarten, die Haniel Sneaker diesen Sommer auf den Straßen des Ruhrgebiets zu entdecken.

Danke Grubenhelden GmbH!

It’s one thing to talk about environmental benefits of a circular service model ♻️ – but quite another story to transparently put it in figures. With the Emission Calculator, our portfolio company CWS Workwear has just launched a fantastic tool!

“We are now able to show our customers the environmental benefits of professional laundering services in a transparent and interactive way,” says Sustainability Manager Leonie B..

"Our Emission Calculator Tool revolutionizes the way professional laundry services approach sustainability. By accurately measuring the carbon footprint associated with each wash, we empower businesses to optimize their operations for minimal environmental impact."

Compared to home washing, the CWS all-round service model leads to lower emissions & efficient use of resources. But how much exactly could your company save? Where do the total emissions savings come from? And how does that figure compare to flights from Munich to Brussels or hours of using your mobile phone?

🎥 Lights, Camera, Action! 🌟

Next week, we will unveil our newest venture: “Haniel Buzz”, a TV show-like format that promises to revolutionize the way we engage our Top Talents with leadership insights. 🚀

Our kick-off event took place at the Haniel Campus and wasn't just about setting priorities for 2024; it was about introducing a dynamic new format that will bring them to life. With the film crew from NEYROO capturing every moment, we're turning the spotlight on leadership in a way that's both informative and captivating.

🎬 Henk Derksen and Svenja Otten gave us an update about the most important Haniel priorities and the strategic roadmap for 2024. Furthermore, we had the privilege to gain valuable insights from Frederik Nette and Marius Keller into their business activities at BauWatch and CWS Workwear. Thank you, Clemens Feigl for navigating our “cast” through this new and exciting journey in the spotlight.

At the heart of “Haniel Buzz” lies our conviction that knowledge is power – and by sharing our experiences, successes, and challenges, we empower leaders everywhere to navigate the complexities of today's world with confidence.

🌐 As we embark on this journey, we invite our leaders of the Haniel Group to tune in, join the conversation and participate actively. Stay tuned for more updates as we will bring “Haniel Buzz” to various locations across our portfolio! 🌟

Solar powered CCTV keeping an eye 👀 on wind turbine repair work! Here is how our portfolio company ‌BauWatch helps Spanish customers keep up the expansion pace of #renewables …

#Spain has recently seen remarkable growth in green energy projects. Thanks to its sunny plains, fast-flowing rivers and wind-swept hillsides, locational factors are a big asset for the South European state on its way to raise the share of renewables to four-fifths by 2030.

As investments in wind and solar infrastructure are increasing, more and more energy parks are prioritizing security of their facilities and protection 🛡️ of their equipment. An ever-important part of construction & maintenance, since 2021 data reported 4,323 theft crimes in Spanish #construction alone, causing unplanned delay and costs.

👉 That’s where Haniel’s portfolio company ‌BauWatch Spain comes into play – with #CCTV towers and a control center that acts quickly and competently day or night.

When our colleagues entered the Spanish market last year, they chose the Valencian outskirts as their HQ location – in the center of the Mediterranean coast and halfway between Madrid and Barcelona. With Solarpack as their first client, renewable energy right away set the scene for #BauWatch towers on a large solar farm. And when Nordex had to repair a wind turbine at the Gecama wind farm at the end of 2023, a BauWatch Solar ☀️ tower was installed – running autonomously and self-sufficiently on solar energy.

Just two examples of an effective business service model that supports the energy transition. Thanks for the insights, ‌Ignacio (Natxo) González Medina! 👋
