Our team is working hard to minimize our carbon footprint, but most importantly, we are building a carbon management solution that allows event organizers to predict, manage, reduce, report and offset report the CO2 emissions that originate from the organization of events.

We are really excited about the impact that our tool can have in terms of (1) carbon footprint awareness, and (2) taking action to reduce it.

Cutting down on your flights and moving towards train travel has a significant impact on your carbon footprint.

For domestic routes under five hours by train, take the train.
Railway stations are often more centrally located than airports, which makes arrival and departure easier and reduces the footprint of using taxis.  

Mark this action as completed as soon as you change your corporate travel policy accordingly.


Trains over planes

For intercontinental travel, a seat in business class produces __two to three times__ as much CO2 as an economy seat. 
First-class seats even produce up to __six times__ as much CO2.

Mark this action as completed as soon as you change your corporate travel policy and make sure that you buy only economy class tickets from now on.

Economy flights only

Use video conferencing whenever possible 

Set up a policy for sustainable business travel

Switching to a 100% renewable energy provider for your office energy is a simple but effective step to reduce your company's carbon footprint. It is important to use a reliable provider which transparently communicates the orgins of its energy.

Switch to a 100% renewable energy provider, including electricity and other energy consumption from heating, hot water, etc. Often it’s the most impactful thing companies can do immediately. 

Even if you lease your office, it's still possible to switch, but it requires some time and effort.

We recommend the following green electricity providers in Germany: [Greenpeace Energy](http://www.epa.gov/WaterSense/products/toilets.html), [Naturstrom](https://www.naturstrom.de/geschaeftskunden/), [Elektrizitäts Werke Schönau](https://www.ews-schoenau.de/ews/energiedienstleistungen/angebote-fuer-gewerbekunden/) 

Note: The difference in savings from the future footprint offsetting will often be more than a slight increase in energy cost. 

Your office (and warehouses) run on 100% renewable energy

Switch to sustainable heating

Buy your own solar plant

Advocate for a more sustainable energy consumption

There are many established as well as new banks that offer similar services to their traditional competitors, except for one important difference: They invest your money according to high sustainability standards.

Assess your current bank's credentials

Decide on your approach

Your corporate finance can influence the climate more than you think. Use this power:
- Look at how the company capital is secured, such as where it gets its project financing and loans. Where possible, move this business to [banks](https://www.triodos.co.uk/about-us) that refuse to invest in businesses dependent on fossil fuels.
- Talk to your accountants. They can help set up systems to measure and manage climate related externalities. They can support your finance team in raising and allocating the funds your organization needs for transition and adaptation, embedding greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions within your organization’s decision-making processes, and accurately tracking and reporting performance against reduction targets. 
- If your company operates in the financial sector, ensure your financial investments support [low carbon initiatives](http://fossilfreefunds.org).
