Climate goals of SES

As the district shopping centre in Salzburg-Taxham and the main shopping mall for the region, we demonstrate responsibility towards people, the region and the environment – both today and on behalf of future generations. This is why EUROPARK has for many years been consistently committed to energy efficiency, proactive climate protection and sustainable mobility.

Energy management – planned systematically

Since 2019, EUROPARK has been working with an ISO-certified energy management system, which received renewed certification by TÜV AUSTRIA in 2022. This means that we continuously analyse our energy consumption and implement measures to save energy and improve energy efficiency. For example, we have succeeded in cutting energy consumption in our mall over the past few years by around 40%.

Energy management
system certified by TÜV AUSTRIA

SES Spar European Shopping Centers implemented an energy management system for the Austrian shopping malls in compliance with EN ISO 50001:2018 back in 2019. It has now been successfully recertified by TÜV AUSTRIA.

At the same time, SES has been able to expand the energy management system to all the SES shopping malls in Slovenia and Italy and obtain TÜV AUSTRIA certification for the malls in three countries.

Free cooling & optimised cooling and heating

The best possible indoor climate

Using demand-controlled ventilation means that only the energy that is actually needed is used to obtain the best possible indoor climate. When necessary, the night air is used to cool the shopping mall outside opening hours (free cooling). All ventilation systems include technical equipment for heat recovery.

Optimised energy consumption with LED lighting

Energy-saving lighting

Saving energy means protecting the climate. At EUROPARK, for many years this has included specific measures such as successively retrofitting all the lighting on the façades and the interior with energy-saving LED technology.

OPTIMISED NEEDS-BASED VENTILATION

Cheap Air

Actions speak louder than words! One practical example of climate-friendly operation is ventilation that adapts to the number of visitors in the mall. It was developed by SES and adjusts the air quality in the mall perfectly to actual requirements, achieving annual savings of around 2.9 million kilowatt hours of electricity in the Austrian malls operated by SES.

People & society

Helping where there’s a need We assume social responsibility, whether through long-term cooperation with clubs and organisations in the region, through unforgettable events or various charity campaigns.

Company day nursery

EUROPARK also looks after employees at the shopping mall, providing family-friendly conditions. This is why a company day nursery, open all year round, was established to make it easier for retail staff to balance their work and family life. Children over the age of 1 1/2 years are lovingly cared for by qualified staff in four groups according to age.

Rettet das Kind Salzburg

What had started back in 2012 as a small, spontaneous campaign has now grown to become one of the most successful and popular charity activities in Austria. In 2022 it was even awarded the “Branchen-Oscar”, the Austrian fundraising award. Involved from the start: the charity campaign organised by EUROPARK and Antenne Salzburg in aid of Rettet das Kind Salzburg.
Since the start of the joint fundraising campaign eleven years ago, over € 570,000 has been raised for the Salzburg aid organisation.

Warm a Soul

For many people, the Christmas season is not just an occasion to give their loved ones presents but also to donate to charities. The LOOP agency has taken this as an opportunity to launch the “Warm a Soul” initiative. Together with EUROPARK and Caritas, jackets and coats were collected in Salzburg’s largest shopping mall during the Christmas period and then donated to the homeless and people in need. In this way, for example, 150 items of clothing were given to Caritas Salzburg in January.
