Environmental pollution and climate change are two crucial challenges of our time. We want to be part of the solution and are convinced that it is possible to reconcile business and the environment. Technology is not the only solution, but very often the best one. We believe that “a little better” is not good enough – that is why we track our carbon emissons, reduce where we can, and communicate honestly about where we stand.
Climate Responsibility.
Westernacher tracks its greenhouse gas emissions annually in accordance with the GHG Protocol.
Reducing our emissions is an integral part of our sustainability strategy. We provide transparent information about our measures, goals, and progress.
Our approach follows three principles:
Measure. We regularly track our greenhouse gas emissions, taking into account all significant sources of emissions from our business operations.
Reduce. We regularly analyze our emissions data, identify opportunities for reduction, and implement appropriate measures to reduce emissions.
Offset. Reducing emissions is a priority for us. To offset any remaining emissions, we also participate in certified climate protection projects.
Our sustainability solutions, developed by the Westernacher Group itself, are making a difference. Our version of the CO2 Monitor has helped us become more climate responsible and can also be used in a wide range of industries to achieve sustainability goals.

Energy.
Our goal is to continuously reduce our energy consumption and expand our use of renewable energy sources.
Resources.
We are committed to the responsible use of resources and implement measures to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities.
Consumables.
Resource efficiency is an integral part of our business operations. Through digital processes, extending product lifecycles, reusing resources, and incorporating sustainability criteria into our procurement practices, we are continuously working to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities. Laptops, monitors, cell phones, and office furniture are reused, passed on, or properly recycled whenever possible after they are no longer in use. When selecting materials, packaging, and promotional items, we take various sustainability and procurement criteria into account. These include, among other things, the percentage of recycled content, the origin of materials, recognized certifications, and regional sources, where available and appropriate.
