Environmental protection

Environmental protection is a particularly important aspect in this context. For many years, we have been optimizing our daily activities to ensure that we use our resources sparingly. Simple issues such as waste separation and paper avoidance are of course a matter of course. However, as an IT company - without industrial production - it is essentially about the use of renewable energies for operations. A few years ago, we switched internally to using 100% renewable electricity. All of the servers and data centers we use also rely entirely on renewable energy and operate their systems in a CO₂-neutral manner.

Avoiding CO₂ from air travel and transport

We kept air travel to a minimum even before the pandemic and rely on rail travel within Germany whenever possible. Even before the pandemic, we had the option of working remotely, partly with the aim of avoiding car journeys. We support local public transport with a subsidy for HVV monthly tickets and new company vehicles are equipped with electric drives that are charged exclusively with renewable electricity. We also provide our employees with company bicycles.

We create forests

To ensure that future generations can also live in a healthy environment, we participate in the reforestation projects of The Generation Forest. The cooperative plants permanent generation forests on degraded areas in Panama. This not only measurably offsets CO₂, The Generation Forest also provides a protected habitat for endangered animal species and an important economic perspective for local people.

By reforesting tropical forests in Panama, they counteract global deforestation and naturally remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Every hectare of generational forest absorbs 20 tons of CO₂ every year.

By expanding and connecting existing habitats, the biodiversity of tropical rainforests is promoted. Endangered species such as the jaguar and the toucan, as well as threatened tree species, find a home in the generation forest.

Around 90 percent of Panama's indigenous population live in poverty. The forestry approach of the reforestation projects offers new economic prospects and financial security for the local people - in the long term.

Data-based optimization of the CO₂ footprint

100% Carbon neutral Badge von klima.metrix

As a data-driven company, we love the opportunities that arise from data-based analyses and optimizations based on them. Back in 2020, with the support of the start-up klima.metrix, we therefore began to analyze our carbon footprint in great detail based on internal data and information. This approach gave us the opportunity to first classify our footprint so that we could then take concrete measures very quickly - namely those with the greatest positive impact. We are continuing along this path and can easily document and analyze our progress based on data.

Protecting our environment is a matter close to our hearts. As a company certified by ClimatePartner , we make a financial contribution to climate protection and are currently offsetting 179,400 kg of CO₂e through reduction, avoidance or compensation. We ensure that all of our company's emissions are offset and thus support the "emPOWERing Africa continent-wide" project.

Our way forward

Sustainability has become an integral part of our values and our daily activities.

And when it comes to climate protection, this means continuously analyzing in detail, adapting our actions and reducing consumption while offsetting all emissions in order to work in a climate-friendly manner.
