In a world where sustainability has become an inescapable priority, Televes and the companies that make up Televes Corporation have emerged as leaders in adopting clean energy—specifically solar energy—as a powerful tool to carry our operations to a more sustainable future. With a firm commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility, we have achieved significant advances in integrating solar energy at our operating centers.

Televes’ vision goes beyond adopting solar energy as a source of consumption; we are determined to lead the change toward a cleaner, more sustainable world. Currently, the corporation has multiple solar energy installations at our main operating centers, which amount to a total capacity of 730 kilowatts.

The Televes headquarters is a testament to this commitment. Four solar energy installations, with a capacity of 100 kilowatts each, dot the rooftops of our buildings. Two of these installations were recently installed in the R&D center. They generate a real, measurable impact on energy consumption, supplying up to 30% of the center’s energy, with an annual average of around 10%.

And we're not stopping there. Our logistics centers and raw materials warehouse have another two solar installations, with capacities of 100 and 30 kilowatts, respectively. These installations have achieved more impressive results, with peaks of up to 90-100% of the buildings’ energy needs, and averaging around 40% annually.

Other companies in the Televes Corporation are joining this trend. Gamelsa, TRedess, and the compliance assessment lab Ladetel have also taken significant steps in this direction. They have implemented solar installations with capacities of 100, 50, and 50 kilowatts, respectively, leading the way with solar power systems that at their peak can cover up to 75-85% of the total energy required, demonstrating that sustainability is a goal that can be successfully achieved.

There's no more responsible way of raising environmental awareness than by leading with our actions. Our leading position in the industry means we must set an example with specific, measurable actions. The Corporation is determined to continue investing in innovative technologies that promote efficiency and sustainability throughout all of our operations. Each step we take in this direction helps to reduce our carbon footprint and to position ourselves as an example to be followed in terms of adopting responsible business practices.

On September 20, Dr. Peter Dosterschill passed away. He was an eminent intellectual property expert with numerous titles to his name, including a PhD in Engineering from the University of Munich, European patent attorney, Spanish industrial property agent, and German patent agent. At the Max Planck Institute, the University of Santiago de Compostela, Siemens AG, the law firm Bardehle&Partner, and lastly as director of the patent department at Bosch Siemens appliances, Dr. Peter Dosterschill had a brilliant career, which also included many speeches and publications. His death has left a permanent hole in the intellectual property field, and his loss has been especially mourned at Televes.

From our beginnings in 1958, we’ve been a driving force of technological development and innovation. However, our protection of these innovations was not always effective, in part due to a lack of experience in Spain in the field of intellectual property. This made it difficult for us to defend our exclusive use of valuable technologies, such as the SAT 90 satellite, the multi-satellite system, and the PRO45 antenna.

Dr. Dosterschill’s arrival as an intellectual property advisor at Televes marked a significant change. Under his guidance, the company took complete control of the registration process, creating an intellectual property department and making strategic decisions about what, how, when, and where to register patents. This process involved the entire organization, from R&D to production and marketing, with far-ranging analyses and monitoring of innovations on the market, and detecting possible infractions by the competition. The result is tangible and measurable. Over the last 30 years, Televes has generated numerous patents, both European, as well as American and Japanese, in addition to utility models and industrial designs. With Dr. Dosterschill’s help, we’ve won all legal proceedings related to violations of patents or utility models.

Dr. Peter Dosterschill’s legacy at Televes is undeniable. His contribution has allowed the company to excel in the market, driven by innovation and effectively protecting its technological advances. We remember our departed friend warmly and with gratitude.

Rest in peace, Dr. Dosterschill
