Companies that set an example.

A1

The implementation of the "CO₂-neutral grid" initiative through voluntary support of climate protection projects via Climate Austria was the next logical step in addition to reducing CO₂ emissions with energy efficiency activities and switching to electricity from 100% renewable energy sources. This partnership facilitates "CO₂-neutral" phone calls, internet surfing, and TV watching for A1 clients using the A1 network.

Apotheke an der Wien

"The need for natural products is increasing. But the range on offer is often confusing. Many products labeled “organic” do not correspond to our ideas of natural origin and sustainable management. That is why we have opened the BIOTHEKE for our customers.

Recognizing the connections between science and nature creates a general understanding of our joint work towards a climate-neutral pharmacy. We also want to empower our customers to take responsibility for their own health and the environment."

Ars Electronica

As an event certified as a Green Event by the Upper Austrian Climate Alliance, we want to keep the Ars Electronica Festival's carbon footprint as low as possible. To this end, we reflect on our internal processes and procedures, think of the festival's life cycle in cycles and consider this holistically in the fields of action Mobility, Catering & Catering, Event Location with Energy, Water, Sanitary Facilities, Technology and Equipment, Procurement and Waste, Social Responsibility and Communication. In the implementation of our sustainability strategy in the field of action mobility, the cooperation with Climate Austria is an important building block. This enabled us to compensate for the CO₂ emissions generated by the air travel of artists and other protagonists in 2022 and thus support national and international climate protection projects.
