Our Climate Neutrality
Your Climate-Neutral Supply Chain and Procurement Consultancy
ClimatePartner is Our Partner for Climate Protection
By partnering with ClimatePartner, we can offset any unavoidable CO2 emissions through international projects certified for climate protection. ClimatePartner is committed to transparency and traceability for its climate protection efforts, which TÜV-Austria has verified. Supporting these projects helps us contribute towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
How Did Our Company Become Climate-Neutral?
1. Identifying Our CO2 Emissions: In partnership with ClimatePartner, we detailed our Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF), taking every element from heating and energy to office supplies and employee travel into account.
2. Avoid and Reduce: We strive to avoid and reduce our CO2 emissions whenever possible by reducing business travel, adopting sustainable mobility solutions, and utilizing renewable power sources. Regularly updating our CCF helps us track the success of our efforts.
3. Offsetting CO2 Emissions Through Climate Protection Projects: By supporting three climate protection projects, we can offset all remaining CO2 emissions and become a climate-neutral company. These projects save CO2 through measures, e.g., reforestation or substituting climate-damaging technologies with environmentally friendly alternatives.
These Are Our Selected Climate Protection Projects
Supporting Indigenous Peoples in Colombia in Protecting Their Forests
This REDD+ project is the largest in Colombia, protecting 1,150,200 hectares of vital rainforest and its biodiversity. It also provides essential services for 16,000 indigenous people, such as education, healthcare, sanitation, and food security. Working directly with the local communities, it seeks to improve the quality of life while promoting sustainable economic growth.
The project strives to achieve sustainable change through economic practices and conservation while protecting indigenous territories. It encourages self-governance within the communities, increased monitoring of the regions, better communication and transport systems, and improved food self-sufficiency for six different ethnic groups.
Improving Health, Biodiversity, and Gender Equality in Southern Ethiopia
This carbon offset project in the Central Province of Zambia provides clean drinking water through boreholes, helping to reduce cholera and other diseases caused by poor water quality. It also reduces atmospheric emissions by saving around 60 000 tonnes of CO2 annually. By using less firewood in water treatment processes, the project contributes to improved health as it lessens exposure to smoke that is produced when boiling over an open fire.
Our project not only improves water quality but also has a positive effect on gender equality: Clean water provided through the installation of boreholes reduces the time girls and women spend collecting water or firewood, allowing them to obtain an education or pursue other economic opportunities.
Climate Protection Through Micro-Energy Loans in India
The people of India often lack access to clean energy, so they must resort to products that can seriously damage health and pollute the environment. Cooking over open fires creates smoke indoors, while oil lamps provide light but with open flames that increase the risk of injuries and fire hazards. Additionally, burning scraps of materials like firewood create further CO2 emissions.
Through ClimatePartner's project, we are combating these issues while supporting local businesses. Accessible micro-energy loans give regional entrepreneurs the ability to offer affordable energy-efficient products, with a particular focus on encouraging women in the workforce. With start-up capital and training, these women can take advantage of this opportunity for financial stability, and other households can benefit from clean cooking stoves and solar lights. The project saves an estimated 100,000 tonnes of CO2 each year - a positive outcome for both people and the planet.
