The Koordinierungsstelle für Kreislaufwirtschaft, Energieeffizienz und Klimaschutz im Betrieb (KEK) is a public advisory service run by the Berlin Senate administration. Based in Berlin, Germany, it supports companies, associations and non-profit organisations with questions linked to circular economy, energy efficiency and climate protection in day-to-day operations.
KEK’s remit is practical rather than strategic: it offers neutral, free advice on how organisations can reduce resource use, save energy and cut emissions. According to the Berlin administration, its services are available only to organisations with a location in Berlin. The offer includes a basic advisory service, more in-depth guidance for small and medium-sized enterprises, and workshops for businesses. The unit also provides information events, newsletters and topic-focused sessions, including on heat, cooling, electricity, greenhouse-gas balancing and efficiency potential in companies.
The organisation appears to be part of Berlin’s broader policy infrastructure for climate and resource efficiency, operating under the city’s economic and environmental administration. Its contact and event information are published on Berlin.de, and the service is presented as a public support point for businesses navigating energy and climate obligations as well as cost-saving measures.
A formal launch event for the new KEK service took place on 11 March 2024 in Berlin, which suggests the current structure is recent, even if the broader advisory function builds on existing city services. The main contact person listed in available records is Jakob Brückner.
