Our Goal

Provided modern & reliable energy

Scale / Period

k.watts/h (kW/h) / cumulated

Goal (12.2025)

63093016

Actual (12.2022)

5604707

Description of impact

Our cooling units also provide clean electricity for other uses via interfaces. This electricity is used by customers to power electrical appliances and replaces unsafe, non-clean and non-permanent energy sources. We collected the data on user behaviour in partnership with McKinsey and 60decibels.

Creation of jobs

Scale / Period

abs.number (|x|) / cumulated

Goal (12.2025)

Actual (12.2022)

Description of impact

The security of the cold chain, without the risk of power outages rendering food unusable, and the advantage that drinks can be pleasantly chilled, lead to safer planning of own shops. We collected the data on user behaviour in partnership with McKinsey and 60decibels.

Saved food by cooling

Primary KPI

Scale / Period

Goal (12.2025)

Actual (12.2022)

Description of impact

With koolbooks, we also reach people who have never had a refrigerator. Even during power outages, which are very common in some regions, we can continue to provide cooling. Our assumption is that 25 % of the capacity of our different models can be used to preserve food that would otherwise have to be thrown away because of the usually high temperatures. We collected the data on user behaviour in partnership with McKinsey and 60decibels.

Description of impact

With our koolboks, on the one hand, we save the energy that would normally be obtained for cooling food through fossil fuels and, on the other hand, the koolboks also provides clean energy via an interface, which additionally leads to a reduction in the energy used through fossil fuels. We collected the data on user behaviour in partnership with McKinsey and 60decibels.
