Our Approach

Doing business means taking responsibility.

We take environmental impacts into account in our business decisions and are constantly refining our measures.

“For us, it is crucial not only to state sustainability as a goal, but also to consistently build on our own contribution.”

Our Own Contribution

Reducing our environmental footprint step by step.

As a management consulting firm, our primary environmental impacts stem mainly from transportation, events, IT, procurement, and day-to-day office operations. That’s why we focus our efforts precisely on the areas where we can have a direct impact.

  • Mobility

    We avoid unnecessary travel and promote lower-emission mobility, for example, through train travel, remote work, JobRad, and our Green Car Policy.

  • Events

    When planning our events, we consider travel arrangements, venue selection, catering, and materials to use resources more consciously.

  • IT & Procurement

    We scale our IT infrastructure to meet our needs and ensure the conscious use of resources in both procurement and operation.

  • Office & Resources

    In our day-to-day office operations, we reduce the use of consumables and ensure the mindful use of energy, water, and other resources.

  • Continuous Improvement

    We regularly review our measures and use internal initiatives such as ESG in Motion to promote knowledge, exchange, and concrete implementation in our daily work.

Our Commitments

Our Standards and Commitments.

Binding standards, external initiatives, and social engagement provide a concrete framework for our aspirations.
