Neuer HSE-Bereich bei Mounting Systems: Ein sicherer Schritt in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit und Gesundheit

Seit Oktober gibt es bei uns im Unternehmen einen neuen Bereich für Health, Safety & Environment (HSE). Dem Qualitätsmanagement zugehörig, sorgt er dafür, dass gesetzliche Anforderungen im Gesundheitsschutz, der Arbeitssicherheit und im Umweltmanagement eingehalten werden. Kurzum, es werden hier die Rahmenbedingungen geschaffen, die ein sicheres und nachhaltiges Arbeitsumfeld ermöglichen, von dem Mounting Systems und die Mitarbeiter profitieren!

Da wir mehr über den Bereich erfahren wollten, haben wir mit Jeannette, unserer HSE Managerin, ein Interview geführt. Folgend erfahrt ihr mehr über sie und ihre neuen Aufgaben und wie wir alle im Unternehmen von ihr und Ihrem Verantwortungsbereich profitieren können.

Worum kümmerst Du Dich alles als HSE Managerin?
Für welche Themen bist Du verantwortlich?

Jeannette: Ich bin die zentrale Anlaufstelle nach Innen und Außen, wenn es um Gesundheitsschutz, Arbeitssicherheit und Umweltmanagement geht. Auf Basis gesetzlicher Vorgaben schaffe ich standardisierte Prozesse und Rahmenbedingungen. Diese gewährleisten ein sicheres Arbeitsumfeld, gesunde Mitarbeiter und eine nachhaltige Unternehmenspolitik.

Warum hast Du Dich dafür entschieden?

Jeannette: Ich liebe es, mich in neue Aufgaben hineinzuarbeiten und Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Aus meinem BWL-Studium und meiner zehnjährigen Selbständigkeit bringe ich einerseits unternehmerisches Handeln und Denken mit. Das ist notwendig, um frühzeitig Risiken zu erkennen, Maßnahmen abzuleiten und Entscheidungen zu treffen. Andererseits ist es mir immer wichtig, auch den Menschen zu sehen, Bedürfnisse wahrzunehmen und mich für das Wohlergehen anderer einzusetzen.

Hast Du Dir Ziele gesetzt? Wenn ja, wie sehen die aus?

Jeannette: Die konkreten Zielbilder der einzelnen Bereiche sind aktuell im Aufbau. Unabhängig davon habe ich aber eine Vision. Und zwar, dass Gesundheit, Sicherheit und Umweltverantwortung in unserer MSY-Unternehmensphilosophie fest verankert sind.

Wenn Du einen Wunsch im Arbeitskontext frei hättest,
wie würde der lauten?

Jeannette: Mein Wunsch ist, dass die von mir geschaffenen Rahmenbedingungen mit Leben gefüllt werden. Das heißt, dass verstanden wird, warum es notwendig ist, diesen Bereich in den Arbeitsalltag zu integrieren und wie jeder Einzelne seinen Beitrag dazu leisten kann.

Nachhaltigkeit ist mittlerweile so ein abgedroschenes Wort.
Was bedeutet das konkret für Dich? 

Jeannette: Nachhaltig bedeutet für mich, dass ich bewusst und achtsam Dinge so mache, dass sie im Moment des Tuns sinnhaft sind und auf lange Sicht positiv für die Welt und alle Beteiligten nachwirken. Sozusagen eine Strahlkraft aus dem Jetzt in die Zukunft.

Wie integrierst Du das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in Deinem Privatleben?

Jeannette: Das geschieht auf sehr vielfältige Weise. Beispielsweise in meinen zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen – familiär, freundschaftlich und im Arbeitskontext. Oder es äußert sich in meiner Verbindung zur Natur oder in meinem Respekt gegenüber unseren Ressourcen. Im September bin ich beispielsweise mit zwei Freundinnen und unseren Fahrrädern von Berlin nach Usedom geradelt – von dieser Zeit zehre ich immer noch und werde bestimmt meinen (Ur-)Enkeln noch davon erzählen.

Training with purpose: combining sustainability and career

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. After all, 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 Center's training fair last weekend to advise interested pupils and those looking for training and to inform them about our range of services.

Many young people and adults visited our stand with interest and got talking to us. There was a great demand for student internships and 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. Professions in the field of renewable energies not only offer interesting and varied fields of work, but also help to make 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 education? Because if you only live once, you should use this opportunity to do something good not only for yourself, but also for the world.

FIXX the World - United for an environmentally friendly future

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!

ETN certification from Mounting Systems sets new standards

Interview: ETN certification sets new standards

ETN certificate for the French market

We recently received the ETN certificate for the French market, a milestone in bringing our products to the French market. In this interview, we will go into more detail about what this certification means for the company, what impact it will have on the solar market in France and what future developments we can expect.

We are pleased to present an exclusive interview with Sonia P. (Head of Sales Europe) to present:

Can you briefly introduce yourself?

Sonia: I'm Sonia and I've been working for MSY as International Sales Manager since 2021, developing the brand in international markets, especially in France.

Could you briefly explain to us what exactly this certificate means and what significance it has for your company?

Sonia: The ETN (New Technical Study) is a technical study on the compatibility between certain solar modules and mounting systems. The technical assessment is carried out by inspection offices and the Scientific and Technical Center for Construction, which checks critical points such as watertightness, mechanical resistance, fire risk, etc.. This is usually required by insurance companies before the completion of a photovoltaic roof project in France. If you want to be present in France, you must have it.

What specific requirements and standards did Mounting Systems have to meet in order to obtain the ETN certificate? Were there any challenges during the certification process?

Sonia: We had to comply with a very detailed list of standards, edit a report, carry out internal tests, but also external tests in a special laboratory. It was hard work involving various departments and colleagues.

How will the ETN certificate affect market access and your business opportunities in France? Are there any specific expectations or goals that Mounting Systems would like to achieve with this certificate?

Sonia: It is important to obtain the ETN if you want to sell your product in France. So if we get all our systems certified, we can become a major player in the solar sector in France. French legislation is very strict and new laws have been passed, for example for carports, which will give us a good opportunity to sell our industrial carports for large parking lots.

What advantages does Mounting Systems offer compared to other providers on the market?

Sonia: We offer a complete Product portfolio for on-roof, in-roof, various types of flat roofs and also ground mounting and carports. Our customers have access to a very complete range of products and can work in both the private and commercial sectors.

Can you tell us something about your experience with the French solar market? How do you assess the potential and development opportunities for renewable energies in France?

Sonia: We are ready to sell on the French market, which is a huge market with great potential in the residential and commercial/project sectors. The use of solar energy, e.g. for carports, is encouraged by French legislation.

To what extent does Mounting Systems support the energy transition and the expansion of renewable energies in France and worldwide? What role do our products play in this?

Sonia: In our markets, we have the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the energy transition, including renewable energies and a green future. For us, sustainability not only means durable and long-lasting products, but also environmental awareness and responsibility for the future.

What further steps or plans does Mounting Systems have for the future to strengthen its presence on the French market and further expand its range of solar substructures?

Sonia: We need to set up a technical and sales team for France in order to offer a comprehensive service in French and to adapt our products and services to the market.

Finally, is there anything else you would like to tell our readers, particularly with regard to the importance of certifications and quality standards in the renewable energy sector?

 

Sonia: Mounting Systems' philosophy is that we are more than just a brand. We offer not only products, but also services such as technical support, sales service and marketing. Compliance with all types of certifications is very important to us and therefore we are committed to complying with the standards of the renewable energy sector.

Thank you very much for the interview.

 

Sonia: It was a pleasure.
