We have been committed to environmental and climate protection for a long time, and now we have also made an official commitment. Since mid-July 2023, we have been part of the international "science-based targets" initiative, where companies can set science-based targets and thus commit to climate protection. As the only South Tyrolean company to date, we have set ourselves a concrete, very ambitious target: We have to save 46% of our CO² emissions in Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 (reference year is 2019).

Scope 1 and 2 includes all direct and indirect emissions of the company. In our case, these are those generated by our headquarter, such as for heating and electricity, and those for the company's activities, such as our consultants' business trips to clients.

For SMEs, this is the most ambitious target possible and if every company were to commit to it, according to the initiative's calculations, global warming would be stopped at +1.5 degrees.

This initiative convinced us because, as the name science-based targets suggests, it is based on scientific calculation methods and, above all, because no compensation payments are allowed here.

So there is a lot for us to do if we want to reach the target, but we accept this challenge and want to lead by example.
