geothermal heating
After completion of the building extension in 2008, almost 2000 m² of office space is now heated with this technology. And – in summer – chilled. This has a great effect: in summer, the heat is fed into probe fields and work can be carried out at pleasant temperatures.
solar power
In addition to the self-generation of heating energy, the electricity is also self-generated. Since mid-August 2008 there has been a solar system on the roof of the SHEEPWORLD headquarters: 113 photovoltaic modules have been installed. The maximum power that can be generated by the system is 23.31 kWp.
wind turbine
SHEEPWORLD AG has been supporting the local project for regenerative energy in Ursensollen since 2014 and has acquired shares in a wind turbine. This generates around 750,000 kWh per year. For comparison: The average consumption of the company is around 200,000 kWh per year.
Climate-friendly shipping
We also make a sustainable contribution to climate protection when shipping via our e-shop by shipping with DHL GoGreen! In 2015 alone, we were able to offset 9.19 t of CO².
ROOTED IN THE Oberpfalz
Founded in 1997 in Ammerthal by Stefanie Kraemer (born Rölz) and Tobias Hiltl, SHEEPWORLD AG is still based in Ursensollen in the Oberpfalz. Only 10 minutes away from Amberg and directly on the A 6 motorway, there is a very good connection to the east (Nuremberg) and to the west (Regensburg/Prague). Despite the good transport connections, the company headquarters are in the 3,500 soul village of Ursensollen in the middle of the countryside and thus offer ideal working conditions for the round about 60 employees at the site.
