WE HAVE BECOME A
CLIMATEPARTNER

Climate-neutral catalogue since 2019

Our goal is for both our products and our corporate values to be geared toward
sustainability. We therefore want to take responsibility for the emissions resulting
from printing our catalogue and give something back to nature. That is why we have
been producing a climate-neutral main catalogue since 2019. This means that we
compensate for the unavoidable CO emissions caused by printing by supporting
2
climate protection projects.

CO compensation and regional conservation
2
International climate protection combined with regional commitment

The CO is entirely compensated by one of the following climate protection projects,
2
each of which is certified according to international standards. For each ton of
compensated CO , a donation will be given to the Bergwaldprojekt (Mountain
2
Forest Project) to co-finance the outreach weeks in the Freiburg Stadtwald (Freiburg
City Forest). The project (climatepartner.com/1056) protects more than 97,000
hectares of forest in Pará at the Brazilian Amazon estuary and prevents commercial
deforestation. It creates alternative sources of income for local families. The largest
Colombian REDD+ project protects 1,150,200 hectares of rainforest and preserves its
biodiversity (climatepartner.com/1402). It provides education, healthcare, sanitation
facilities, food security and other social services for 16,000 indigenous people.

Clean drinking water

Clean drinking water helps people and the environment in Mozambique

This drinking water project (climatepartner.com/1360) provides around 102,000
inhabitants with access to clean drinking water by repairing and installing wells
in the provinces of Tete, Sofala and Manica in Central Mozambique. Providing clean
water means that households no longer need to treat water at open fireplaces.
This in turn reduces the carbon dioxide emissions produced by the combustion
process. It also prevents diseases that can be caused by air pollution from open
fireplaces, which often affect women and children in particular.
