Support for
international climate protection projects

Financing climate protection projects is an effective tool for taking responsibility for climate protection. After avoidance and reduction, unavoidable emissions can be offset and positive social and ecological effects can be achieved at the same time. When selecting our product portfolio, we also pay attention to internationally recognized standards and high quality.

Your advantages
at a glance

  1. Offsetting unavoidable emissions: Climate protection projects make it possible to offset emissions that cannot yet be avoided, in addition to our own reduction measures.
  2. Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): By supporting climate protection projects, you promote sustainable development – for example by creating jobs, protecting biodiversity or improving the quality of life in developing regions.
  3. Promoting sustainable transformation: They support climate protection measures that would not be feasible without external funding and thus make a decisive contribution to the global climate transition.

How to obtain
climate protection certificates

Step 1

Determination of requirements

At the beginning, we determine how many carbon offset certificates you need – based on your greenhouse gas balance and the emissions you would like to offset. You will also receive an overview of the carbon offset projects currently available, including a price list and project description.

Step 2

Decommissioning

We officially retire the selected climate protection certificates so that the emissions are permanently offset. You will then receive a certificate of decommissioning as proof that offsetting has taken place.

Frequently asked questions,
that we answer

Climate protection certificates make it possible to offset greenhouse gas emissions by promoting recognized climate protection projects. Each certificate represents one tonne of saved or bound emissions. As it is the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that matters for the climate and not where they are produced, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) concept enshrined in the Kyoto Protocol makes it possible to offset unavoidable emissions as additional measures alongside avoidance and reduction by purchasing high-quality climate protection certificates.

Government measures alone are not enough to achieve the 1.5 degree target. Companies’ business activities such as production, transportation and energy consumption cause considerable greenhouse gas emissions. Global emissions reduction can only succeed if companies in industrialized countries act voluntarily and consistently.

Offsetting is effective if it is used responsibly. Climate protection always starts with avoiding and reducing emissions – but a certain residual amount is unavoidable. Offsetting offers a way of offsetting this footprint and at the same time promoting climate protection projects worldwide. Greenwashing occurs when companies focus exclusively on offsetting instead of actively reducing emissions. Those who take climate protection seriously use offsetting as a supplement to a long-term, sustainable strategy.
