Climate protection has been important to syracom for quite some time now. Our employees participate actively in projects like the installation and care of a meadow orchard which syracom owns in Wiesbaden as well as the colonization of bees on this meadow. It is important to us as a business to act environmentally friendly and with social responsibility.
At the end of 2017, syracom decided to go one step further, to determine its own CO₂ foot print, and to compensate for it as climate partner of Naturfund by participating in a climate protection project – planting trees in Madagascar. In return, we receive the Blue Planet Certificate as CO₂-neutral business.
Our climate balance was studied during an in-house project. It shows which places in the company generate how much CO₂ annually. In this manner we determined the number of trees we would have to plant to compensate for our CO2 output.
The non-profit nature preservation organization Naturefund fights for the protection of ecosystems by awarding the Blue Planet Certificate. Since healthy forests and soil store large quantities of CO₂, Naturefund, with the help of its partners, protects forests, plants trees, and preserves other forms of ecosystems.
We are happy to be able to contribute our part to the protection of the last rain forest of Madagascar as well as its unique biodiversity.
