To protect the environment, everyone must lend a hand!

Over recent years, we at Fabege have reduced carbon emissions from approximately 40,000 tonnes in 2002 to about 5,000 tonnes by focusing on systematic energy optimisation, converting to district heat and district cooling and switching to environmentally declared electricity.

You as customer can also assist in protecting the environment and simultaneously reducing your energy costs.
