Sustainability
Not only is sustainable success the objective of our consulting activities. Sustainability in our actions is also a personal concern of ours.
We take corporate responsibility for our environment, which is why we have analysed the effects of our work and initiated measures to reduce negative environmental impacts:
-
In order to reduce our "ecological footprint", we have integrated various measures into our everyday lives aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and (plastic) waste.
-
For business trips, we replace air travel and taxi rides with more climate-friendly rail travel wherever possible. We also use videoconferencing and compensate for any CO2 pollution adequately.
-
Our headquarters in Frankfurt is located in a sustainable, ecologically high-performance building that meets the internationally leading LEED standard (LEED: "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design").
-
In addition, we support the following climate protection initiatives:
atmosfair is a non-profit company that emerged in 2003 from a research project of the German Ministry of the Environment (BMU). Voluntary climate protection contributions from companies and private individuals form the financing basis. With these, atmosfair develops and operates climate protection projects for CO2 compensation in developing countries in the fields of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) launched the Alliance for Development and Climate Change (Allianz für Entwicklung und Klima) in 2018. It offers a platform for non-governmental commitment and has the task of promoting development and climate protection at the same time. The activities of the alliance’s partners are voluntary and contribute to achieving climate neutrality or even climate positivity.
