Über uns

Warum jetzt?

Gebäude sind der größte Energieverbraucher in Europa. Sie verbrauchen 40 % unserer Energie und verursachen 36 % aller CO₂-Emissionen. Mehr als 85 % der heutigen Gebäude werden auch im Jahr 2050 noch stehen. Daher ist die Dekarbonisierung von Gebäuden ein wichtiger Bestandteil auf dem Weg zur Klimaneutralität.

Warum wir?

Wir bei VARM glauben, dass es ein absoluter No-Brainer ist, Gebäude energieeffizienter zu machen. Wie wir das schaffen? Indem wir Wärmedämmung neu denken und unseren Kunden dabei helfen, bis zu 50 % ihrer Heizkosten und ihrer CO₂-Emissionen einzusparen.

Unser Ziel?

Wir wollen Marktführer in Europa im Bereich Wärmedämmung werden und haben auf dem Weg dahin Großes vor. Hier ist deine Gelegenheit, mit uns dieses Ziel zu erreichen und Großes zu schaffen. Lass uns gemeinsam ein marktführendes und nachhaltiges Unternehmen aufbauen und einen positiven Beitrag fürs Klima leisten.
