  • Cooperation for sustainable energy supply in Arlesheim, Münchenstein and Reinach

    Cooperation for sustainable energy supply in Arlesheim, Münchenstein and Reinach

    Primeo Energie and uptownBasel are intensifying their collaboration. The two Basel-based companies signed “two important contracts” at the end of December 2024, explained Primeo Energie in a press release. Among other things, they aim to use the waste heat generated on the site of the competence centre for Industry 4.0 in Arlesheim to heat thousands of flats in the surrounding municipalities of Arlesheim, Münchenstein and Reinach.

    To this end, uptownBasel partner Primeo Energie is making Building 4 available on a long-term basis. This is where the Münchenstein-based energy supplier will set up the transfer centre for the competence centre’s waste heat. The second contract concerns the site network. Under this contract, Primeo Energie is responsible for both the operational management and maintenance of the network on the 75,000 square metre site of the competence centre. The site grid includes high and medium-voltage lines for supplying energy to the site and its nine buildings.

  • Swiss and German debt collection industry exchange ideas

    Swiss and German debt collection industry exchange ideas

    Both associations have developed codes of conduct in recent years that define rules for fair debt collection. The Code of Conduct of Inkasso Suisse has been in effect since December 1, 2020. Since October 1, 2021, the Code of Conduct of the BDIU has been mandatory for all members of the German Debt Collection Association.

    Martin Wehrli explains: “With our code of conduct, we take into account both the legitimate interests of creditors to have their claims settled and the no less legitimate interests of consumers, whom we want to protect against abusive collection of claims. We see debt collection as a mediative, dispute-avoiding and communicative activity. This is the only way to reach amicable agreements. Both the Code of Conduct of Inkasso Suisse and that of the BDIU are formulated in this spirit.”

    “Our member companies are a pillar of the economy. Especially in these economically challenging times, they ensure that companies are supplied with liquidity, thus securing entrepreneurial livelihoods and many jobs,” adds Kirsten Pedd. “However, debt collection companies only live up to this great responsibility if they treat everyone involved in the collection of receivables fairly. Debt collection service providers commit to this with our Code of Conduct.”

    The two associations will continue the exchange that began during the development of the respective code, both bilaterally and within the European umbrella organization FENCA (Federation of European National Collection Associations), whose founding members include Inkasso Suisse and BDIU. A dialogue between the ombudsmen Stephan Glättli (Inkasso Suisse) and Brigitte Zypries (BDIU) is also to be initiated.
