The recently achieved DIN EN ISO 27001 certification marks an important milestone for KACO new energy — not only in technical development, but above all in our comprehensive responsibility toward the environment, society, and governance.
In an industry that is rapidly digitalizing, information security is a crucial component of sustainable energy solutions and is thus firmly anchored in our ESG approach.
Information Security as Part of Modern ESG Strategies
Sustainability today encompasses far more than reducing emissions or creating energyefficient production processes. Modern energy infrastructures are digitally networked, datadriven, and increasingly dependent on secure information flows.
For this reason, protecting sensitive data is as much a corporate responsibility as safety, environmental protection, or social standards.
Our new ISO 27001 certification officially confirms:
• We protect sensitive information with a systematic, riskbased security approach
• Our processes are strictly audited and meet international security standards
• Customers and partners can rely on verifiably certified information security
• We continuously improve our security and compliance structures
This strengthens not only our own digital resilience, but also contributes to a secure and sustainable energy system.
ESG at KACO new energy: Holistic, Measurable, and Transparent
For many years, KACO new energy has relied on clear, measurable standards in the areas of Environmental, Social, and Governance.
Environmental – Sustainability from Product Design to Energy Supply
• Production powered by 100% CO₂neutral electricity since 2006 — making us a pioneer in the industry
• Environmental management according to DIN EN ISO 14001, energy management according to DIN EN ISO 50001
• Environmentally friendly product design according to IEC 62430
• Life cycle analyses (LCA) according to ISO 14040/44, environmental product declarations according to ISO 14021
• High recycling rates — e.g., up to 79% recyclability for our NX3 devices
This means our products are not only efficient but also sustainable throughout their entire lifecycle.
Social – Safety and Responsibility for Employees and Society
• Occupational health and safety management according to DIN EN ISO 45001
• Focus on safe working conditions, responsible supply chains, and transparent communication
• Development and deployment of technologies that support the global expansion of renewable energies and thus promote social progress
Governance – Responsibility, Integrity, and Transparency in Practice
With the new DIN EN ISO 27001 certification, our governance commitment becomes even clearer: structured processes, clear responsibilities, audited management systems, and the highest standards in information security.
In combination with existing certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001, this forms an integrated management system that links quality, environmental protection, occupational safety, energy efficiency — and now also information security.
Why ISO 27001 Is Becoming Increasingly Important for the Energy Industry
Digital energy systems, connected inverters, cloud monitoring, and automated grid control create a new reality:
Without cybersecurity, there can be no stable energy transition.
Especially in the utility and largescale sector, information security, compliance, and digital resilience are becoming central requirements in tenders and investment decisions.
The ISO 27001 certification provides our customers with:
• Verifiable security for critical infrastructure systems
• Higher compliance for national and international tenders
• Reduced risks in the operation of connected assets
• Maximum transparency and trust
This makes information security a true competitive advantage — and a key component of sustainable energy projects.
ISO 27001 Strengthens Our ESG Alignment and the Future of Renewable Energy
With the ISO 27001 certification, KACO new energy reinforces its commitment to designing sustainable energy solutions that are not only environmentally and technologically advanced, but also digitally secure.
It completes our ESG profile and shows how closely sustainability, quality, safety, and future viability are connected.
For us, ESG is not a trend but a guiding principle — and information security is an indispensable part of it.
