Expanding their commitment to sustainability and supporting people in their own environmentally conscious actions - that was the goal of our customer, Zurich Group Germany, in developing the "Planet Hero" app. For those who want to live more sustainably, the app provides important daily impulses on how to become a climate saver in their personal environment.
In this way, the insurer is expanding its commitment to digital channels and relied on adesso for the technical implementation.
urban energy, a company of the adesso Group, focuses on intelligent CO2 and energy management. With ZeroC, an intuitive software solution for real estate operators and companies, all energy values can be recorded and visualised in real time.

In our podcast format IT-Tacheles, experts discuss everything that moves the IT world. Of course, the topic of the green cloud also comes up. In this episode, Pascal Reddig, Competence Center Manager Google Cloud at adesso, talks to Business Developer Manuela Schwarze about this trendy topic. Whether through Spotify, Lieferando or Sharepoint - many of the services we use every day today are cloud services. The problem with them? They consume a lot of energy. Experts even predict that by 2030 we will need 20 to 30 percent of global energy for these services. Green Cloud aims to change exactly that and offer an alternative without a negative environmental impact.
With the messenger system Trust-IT-Box, our partner PBM has developed a solution that meets different customer needs while conserving natural resources.

Small wind, solar and hydroelectric power plants alone can neither compete on the electricity exchange nor take over system services such as maintaining the grid voltage for the electricity grid. These services are currently covered primarily by fossil energy sources. In the VideKIS project, decentralised small plants are combined into a virtual power plant in order to compete with fossil energy sources both for system services and on the electricity exchange. In the process, artificial intelligences in a central control system take over the control and marketing of the services. In addition to the adesso SE Line of Business Utilities, urban energy is also involved in the research project.
