Mobility
We are aware that the mobility of our employees in the course of their professional
activities must be sustainable. Unthought-out business trips can have a significant
impact on the environment, which is why we apply the following principles in relation
to business travel:
-
The most important principle for business travel is to reduce it to a minimum. We use video conferencing and other virtual communication tools to reduce the need for business travel and thus save emissions and costs.
-
If a business trip is unavoidable, we choose the most environmentally friendly means of transportation to get to the destination.
Corporate Carbon Footprint
We work with external partners to understand our CO2 emissions and to develop targeted strategies for avoiding and offsetting emissions.
Facilities
-
We take care to conserve resources in our offices in order to reduce our environmental impact and be more sustainable overall.
-
We use energy-efficient lighting systems such as LED lamps, switch off unnecessary appliances, use energy-saving devices and optimize air conditioning and heating to minimize energy consumption.
-
We recycle paper, plastic, glass and other waste! In addition, materials such as recycled paper and environmentally friendly office supplies are preferred in purchasing.
-
As far as possible, we use water-saving technology and pay attention to the conscious use of water.
-
We create incentives to encourage employees to use public transport (subsidized Germany ticket), bicycles (job bike) or to form car pools. We also encourage and support working from home to reduce the number of commutes.
-
We offer our employees the option of flexible and individual workplace design. Plants are an integral part of our space planning, as we believe that this improves the mental health of our employees through good air quality.
-
We promote electronic communication, digital document management and the use of cloud storage solutions to reduce paper consumption.
Handling with Resources

We use resources such as water, energy and raw materials efficiently. Our efforts in this regard have been supported by the Ministry of the Environment’s environmental innovation program.
