We are Climate Neutral - Our events as well
Compensation of CO2 emissions
We have recorded the CO² emissions of our company together with ClimatePartner and created the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF): from heating and energy to employee travel, business trips and office supplies. We also calculated the CO² emissions of not only our own events, but also those of our customers during the event: each participant uses his or her laptop and smartphone for 2 hours and accesses our server data.
Offsetting CO² emissions is another important step in holistic climate protection, in addition to avoidance and reduction. Emissions that cannot be avoided locally can therefore be offset by climate protection projects elsewhere.
CO² emissions in 2021: 17,000 kg CO²
Climate protection projects
Marine protection
We invest in a climate protection project for marine conservation worldwide. Over 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean every year. Especially in developing countries, the infrastructure for proper disposal is often lacking. Stopping the plastic flood while improving the lives of collecting communities - this is the approach the Plastic Bank is taking. In Haiti, Indonesia, Brazil and the Philippines, local residents collect plastic waste. At collection points, they can exchange it for money, food, drinking water, or even school fees. The project ensures that less plastic ends up in the sea. Instead, it is recycled and processed into so-called "social plastic", which serves as a raw material for new products, such as packaging.
Green in and around the office
Where possible, we continue to avoid and reduce our CO² emissions, because we want to become even "greener":
