Environment & Resources – Rental Park
Energy-efficient and durable technology
The G+B Rental Fleet is continuously being developed. When selecting new equipment, we increasingly take into account not only quality, performance, cost-effectiveness, and availability, but also energy efficiency, durability, and resource utilization.
For us, this is not just about the latest technology, but also about using existing systems as effectively as possible over the long term.
Accordingly, we have professionally coordinated our maintenance, procurement, and sales management.
Efficient Technology in Action
LED, Projection, and Audio
Modern LED, projection, and audio systems deliver high technical quality while also using energy more efficiently. When making new or replacement investments, we therefore prioritize not only performance but also energy efficiency, quality, and durability.
Planning and Executing Events Efficiently
Digitization
Digital solutions have long supported us in planning and executing events, as well as in our internal processes. They help us streamline workflows, make information accessible, and reduce paper use wherever digital processes can be effectively implemented.
We are continuously refining these structures.
Utilizing Resources Across Locations
Locations & Logistics
With our six locations, we serve our customers nationwide. We allocate technology and expertise on a project-by-project basis across all locations. This creates flexibility and makes the best use of available resources as needed—and we systematically take transportation and logistics into account as well.
Using Technology to Meet Needs
Life Cycle & Mindful Procurement
Before making new purchases, we assess what is actually needed and whether existing equipment can be utilized within our cross-site rental fleet.
At the same time, we monitor technological developments, customer requirements, and demand. If it becomes apparent that demand for certain products is declining, we take timely steps to repurpose or sell them and proactively plan necessary investments in up-to-date technology.
A large portion of our procurement is managed centrally from Bergisch Gladbach. This allows us to consolidate needs and better coordinate procurement. The principle of “need before procurement” applies to all product groups and purchases across all areas.
People & Community
For us, inspiring people also means taking responsibility for the people who work at and with G+B.
Fair working conditions, equal treatment, respectful collaboration, and health and safety are among our binding principles.
Training and continuing education have been a top priority at G+B for many years. Through apprenticeships, dual study programs, and the G+B Academy, we invest in the next generation, professional development, and personal growth. Together with FOM, we are further developing this approach with a range of study programs tailored to our industry.
Our employees’ perspectives are also an integral part of this: their feedback, experiences, and ideas help us further develop our company and our collaborative work.
Responsible Corporate Governance
For G+B, responsibility is also part of the way we manage our company and build business relationships.
Our Code of Conduct provides a binding framework for this. It covers, among other things, human rights and labor rights, equal treatment, health and safety, environmental protection and resource conservation, fair competition, corruption prevention, and data protection. These principles also apply to our collaboration with suppliers and subcontractors.
