“Energy saving supermarkets”
Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMUB)
Germany’s supermarkets are to receive a climate-friendly makeover. Environment minister Barbara Hendricks, together with the association of German retailers (HDE), has started a 1.3 million euro promotion campaign aimed at identifying energy saving potentials, the Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMUB) said in a press release. “I’m convinced that this effort will not only be beneficial to the environment but to business too,” Hendricks said. Better energy efficiency and climate protection in retailing was demanded by many customers and would also increase the participating companies’ competitiveness, according to the BMUB.
