Our website is climate neutral.
Anyone who uses the internet causes CO2 emissions. Because servers and data centres run around the clock and consume electricity. "If the Internet were a country, it would have the sixth-largest electricity consumption in the world," according to an energy expert from Greenpeace. Every click therefore causes CO2 emissions.
Websites are climate-neutral if the resulting CO2 emissions have been calculated and offset. On the basis of our monthly page impressions, we have determined the CO2 emissions caused by our website together with ClimatePartner and offset them through a certified climate protection project.
At www.climatepartner.com/15358-2011-1001 you can transparently see how many CO2 emissions were caused by our website and which project we support.
