Environmentally sound operations and reduced energy consumption are Ricola’s top priorities, and the company thus constantly sets itself new targets. The Herb Center in Laufen, opened in 2014, also contributes to environmentally sound operations.
Constructed of earth and clay, the building’s facade saves a great deal of energy in comparison with conventional facades. The building complies with the latest environmental construction directives, regulating temperature and humidity itself. The building is heated with waste heat from the production site next door. The 815-square-metre photovoltaic installation on the roof of the Herb Center has supplied the building with power since 2017, delivering about half of its energy requirements.
