Environmentally friendly skills are relevant for all professions.

Sustainability is everyone's business; it is not just for environmental scientists or green professions. Technical professionals in all sectors need to develop an environmentally-conscious mindset. They need to be able to identify opportunities for improvement, challenge the status quo and solve problems through innovation in their work environment in a way that has a positive impact on the environmental footprint of their employers, partners and customers.

In addition to technical skills and knowledge, workers also need soft skills such as critical thinking, communication, creativity and collaboration to facilitate decision-making and problem-solving in a fast-changing environment.

Importance of ecological sustainability

Sustainability is a holistic approach that aims to use ecological, social and economic resources in such a way that they are also available to future generations.

Dr. Oliver Niese, Member of the Management Board of Festo Didactic SE and Head of Digital Business at Festo, emphasizes the importance of green skills for the development of sustainable processes and technologies: "Green skills are necessary in order to be able to develop sustainable processes and technologies in the future to transform industry into a resource-efficient economy with ever lower emissions."

This is the contribution that we at Festo Didactic can make to ecological sustainability in particular. This is one of the fundamental pillars of sustainability and includes the responsible use and conservation of natural resources.

Our Green Skills approach comprises five key areas of action that make an essential contribution to promoting environmental sustainability.

1: Sustainable production

The focus is on a modern production facility that integrates pioneering concepts such as CO2-neutral production, circular economy, resource and material efficiency and supply chain management. Forward-looking production techniques that contribute to reducing the ecological footprint are presented here.

2: Production of electric vehicles and batteries

This area covers automation technologies and solutions for the production of electric vehicles, batteries, solar cells and hydrogen technologies. The focus here is on innovative storage technologies, e-mobility and fuel cells, which form the basis for sustainable mobility and energy supply.

3: Producing renewable energy

Another important element is the generation of renewable energy, represented by wind turbines and solar panels. In this area, the importance of smart grids, energy storage and management is emphasized in order to ensure an efficient and sustainable energy supply.

4: Sustainable building technology

This area demonstrates the integration of sustainable building technology, which includes building automation, heat pump technology, smart home solutions, microgrids, photovoltaic systems and charging infrastructure. These technologies play a key role in increasing energy efficiency and promoting local energy production.

5: Water management

The water management area represents the processes of water and wastewater treatment. Efficient water use and management are crucial for conserving resources and protecting our natural water resources.
