An interview with our HSE Manager Jeannette Donda

Health, safety and the environment

New HSE department at Mounting Systems: a safe step towards sustainability and health

Since October, we have had a new Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) department in the company. As part of quality management, it ensures compliance with legal requirements in health protection, occupational safety and environmental management. In short, it creates the framework conditions that enable a safe and sustainable working environment from which Mounting Systems and its employees benefit!

As we wanted to find out more about the area, we conducted an interview with Jeannette, our HSE Manager. Below you can find out more about her and her new tasks and how we can all benefit from her and her area of responsibility in the company.

What are you responsible for as HSE Manager?
Für welche Themen bist Du verantwortlich?

Jeannette: I am the central point of contact both internally and externally when it comes to health protection, occupational safety and environmental management. I create standardised processes and framework conditions based on legal requirements. These ensure a safe working environment, healthy employees and a sustainable corporate policy.

Why did you decide to do this?

Jeannette: I love familiarising myself with new tasks and taking on responsibility. My business studies and ten years of self-employment have given me an entrepreneurial mindset. This is necessary in order to recognise risks at an early stage, derive measures and make decisions. On the other hand, it is always important to me to see people, recognise needs and work for the well-being of others.

Have you set yourself any goals? If so, what do they look like?

Jeannette: The specific target images for the individual areas are currently being developed. Irrespective of this, however, I have a vision. And that is that health, safety and environmental responsibility are firmly anchored in our MSY corporate philosophy.

If you had one wish in the work context, what would it be?

Jeannette: My wish is that the framework conditions I have created are filled with life. This means that people understand why it is necessary to integrate this area into everyday working life and how each individual can make their own contribution.

Sustainability has become such a hackneyed word. What does that mean for you in concrete terms?

Jeannette: For me, sustainable means that I consciously and mindfully do things in such a way that they are meaningful in the moment and have a positive long-term impact on the world and everyone involved. A radiance from the present into the future, so to speak.

How do you integrate the topic of sustainability into your private life?

Jeannette: This happens in many different ways. For example, in my interpersonal relationships - with family, friends and at work. Or it manifests itself in my connection to nature or in my respect for our resources. In September, for example, I cycled from Berlin to Usedom with two friends and our bikes - I'm still living on that time and will certainly tell my (great-)grandchildren about it.

Training with purpose: combining sustainability and career

Sustainable training

Live your passion

YOLO - ever heard of it? It was the youth word of the year back in 2012 and it's on the list again this year. "You Only Live Once" - you only live once. A perfect motto when it comes to choosing a career. Because life is too short to do a job that you don't enjoy. That's why it's important to find out what suits you before you start your career.

For this reason, we were represented at the Südring Centre's training fair last weekend to advise interested pupils and those looking for training and to provide information about our range of services.

Many young people and adults visited our stand with interest and got talking to us. There was great demand for work placements for school pupils and for our apprenticeships. We have even been successful in receiving the first applications.

Shaping the future

Sustainable education for a better world

But it's not just fun and passion that should play a role when it comes to choosing an apprenticeship. In today's world, it is just as important to pay attention to sustainability. A sustainable education not only helps to protect our environment, but can also bring long-term benefits for your own career and society.

At Mounting Systems GmbH, we consider in-company training to be a key pillar of our sustainability strategy. Our approach aims not only to develop skilled professionals, but also to promote sustainable values and practices that will benefit our company and the environment in the long term.

We are delighted to welcome new trainees to our company again this year. After all, careers in the renewable energy sector not only offer interesting and varied fields of work, but also contribute to making the world a better place. In addition, these professions are often crisis-proof and offer good prospects for the future.

So why not combine the "YOLO" idea with sustainable training? Because if you only live once, you should use this opportunity to do something good not only for yourself, but also for the world.

Sustainable carport solutions

Turning parking lots into green power plants

At a time when the world urgently needs environmentally friendly solutions, Mounting Systems is a pioneer in the development of innovative technologies for sustainable power generation. Our mission is clear: with our motto "FIXX the World", we are actively committed to a better and greener future. It is precisely for this reason that we have developed our latest product, the E-Port FIXX, was launched on the market.

The idea behind the E-Port FIXX is as simple as it is ingenious. There are huge, unused concrete surfaces in almost every country, be it in parking lots in front of supermarkets, shopping centers or office buildings. These unused areas offer a lot of potential. Why not use them efficiently and turn them into a sustainable source of energy?

Our E-Port FIXX is more than just a carport. It not only provides a large area of shade for parked vehicles, but also produces solar energy at the same time. This transforms an ordinary parking canopy into a modern solar solution that actively contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions. With every E-Port FIXX installed, we bring the world one step closer to an emission-free future.

But that's not all. The E-Port FIXX also stands for flexibility and adaptability. It can be installed in a wide variety of environments - from urban housing estates to rural industrial areas. This opens up countless opportunities to convert unused space into valuable resources and thus further promote the expansion of renewable energies.

With the E-Port FIXX, we want to show that sustainable energy generation does not have to be complicated. Each individual can make their own contribution and together we can change the world - step by step, project by project. Let's FIXX the world together to create a greener, more liveable future.

City cycling

Mounting Systems makes kilometers for environmental protection

On your marks, get set, go! With the starting signal on 13.05.2024, we have actively moved for the environment for the third time in a row this year. Because we at Mounting Systems not only develop innovative solutions for substructures for PV modules, we also pedal hard.

During the city cycling event, we showed that we take responsibility and have a lot of fun at the same time. Our employees took part with great enthusiasm and made a positive contribution to the environment and team spirit by cycling.

With 19 motivated cyclists from our team, we covered an impressive 5,033 kilometers! That means 254 journeys and a whopping 835.4 kg of CO₂ saved.

A special highlight was the city cycling award ceremony at the Gutsparkfest in Groß Machnow, where our top cyclists Chris and Peter were honored for their outstanding achievements and received their well-deserved prizes.

Looking to the future:

City cycling was not only a sporting challenge, but also a great opportunity to work together for a more sustainable future. We are proud of the great results and can't wait to get going as a team again next year!

Our energetic successes in the spotlight

Solar energy has long been regarded as a green source of power generation. But is that enough for a manufacturer of mounting systems to be sustainable? A clear no. It takes more than a "Made in Germany" seal to operate sustainably as a company.

What does sustainability actually mean?

Sustainability means that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This includes ecological, economic and social aspects.

This is a central component of Mounting Systems' corporate philosophy. Our commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted: as a company in the solar industry and especially as a manufacturer, we benefit from our independence from imports and external resources. This self-sufficiency enables us to achieve significant CO2 savings through short transportation routes. But of course that is not all we have already achieved and still want to achieve.

We are determined to make our contribution to a sustainable future and are constantly setting ourselves new goals in order to continue to make positive changes to our ecological, economic and social perspective.

We are proud to share with you the goals we have achieved so far and our future plans in the area of sustainability.
Together we can make a big difference - for our environment, our society and future generations. Join us on the path to the energy transition.
