Sustainability and social commitment

Our mission for the environment and our society

Driving the energy revolution, addressing the impacts of climate change and promoting the sustainable use of resources are the key drivers and motivators behind our work. The responsible use of the earth’s resources is ingrained in our philosophy.

Our commitment is evident in the development of solutions that empower our customers to make informed decisions and act responsibly. With over 60 years of experience in digitally capturing the changing world, analysing and visualising data, we strive to contribute to a more sustainable future.

Everything we do is based on making a positive contribution to the environment, society and each individual.

IT solutions for sustainable resource management

The future of our planet requires bold decisions more than anything else. To turn those decisions into visionary action, they need to be based on data, modern technology and smart ideas.

Our job is to deliver that data. We provide IT solutions and services that help our clients collect, process and understand the data they need. In doing so, we enable them to sustainable actions and decisions.

Together, we are helping to reduce the impact of climate change so that we can all look to the future with confidence.

Our commitment to the environment

We have implemented an ISO 50001 energy management system at all our German offices. Combined heat and power plants, photovoltaic and rainwater harvesting systems and state-of-the-art building automation technology have been installed at many of our locations. We promote e-mobility, e.g. through company electric cars and the gradual conversion of the entire company fleet to e-mobility, our own charging stations, e-bike sharing and our own e-bike station. Our websites are hosted on servers with a low carbon footprint.

We align our activities with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations to achieve sustainable economic, social and environmental development worldwide. It is particularly important to us that our solutions enable our customers to use our natural resources more sustainably. This has been our mission for more than 60 years.
