This is our commitment

FEGRO/SELGROS has taken on the task of applying the principle of sustainability. This means that we will try to keep and protect the natural living conditions that will sustain the life of future generations. Sustainable, future-oriented use of resources is a challenge we have taken on, with the aim of creating a future that is worth living.

The protection of the environment is of a great importance to FEGRO/SELGROS, which is why many of our new markets are already being built according to ecological guidelines, with facilities for rainwater seepage, rainwater retention basins as well as roof and façade vegetation. Furthermore, we plant indigenous trees and bushes and create biotopes and ponds near the facilities.

The waste heat from the cooling plants and the discharged air from the ventilating systems is recovered and reused in our markets. Furthermore, with energy consumption in mind, we use state-of-the-art refrigeration plants and cooling shelves. In almost all markets the freezer chests are equipped with glass sliding lids and the cooling shelves with sliding doors and roller blinds to avoid unnecessary energy loss.

We make sure that when a new market is built, or an existing market is renovated, the building insulation is substantially improved. We also take care to use ventilating systems that are controlled by CO2 monitoring, switching the systems on only when needed.

Waste separation, cleaning with ecologically compatible detergents, the use of energy efficient lighting in the sales area and side rooms, as well as the implementation of pollutant checks such as "Ökotex 100" are a matter of course for us. In addition, we stock CFC- and HFC-free appliances and promote their energy efficiency class.

Other contributions to the protection and conservation of the environment by FEGRO/SELGROS are our assortment of goods from ecological farming as well as special individual environmental projects, such as the rainwater use in our automatic car wash in Eschborn.
