Whenever the flat ebonite disc races towards the goal at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour, the goalkeeper is grateful for every inch of padding at his disposal. Even though the Young Eagles goalkeeper is the best-protected man on the ice,taking part in the fastest of all team sports can still lead to the odd bruise. MVV Energie admires the courage of the ice hockey players – with our sponsoring we support both the youth team and their fully fledged counterparts, the Mannheim Eagles.

m = Mut (courage)

Providing constructive criticism within our company, exchanging views honestly and respectfully irrespective of hierarchical considerations, promoting ideas and standing up for our values – all these steps require courage. And it is this courage which also empowers us to achieve economic success. We relied on the market potential in our environmental energy and energy-related services businesses and invested in these high-growth fields at an early stage. In other areas we took the necessary restructuring measures at the right time and prepared our company for future market conditions and customer requirements. One example is the Electricity Fund product we developed in 2005, which has enabled us to convince and acquire numerous customers across the whole country. Our approach has paid off and we will continue to courageously tread this path.
