Our company is climate-neutral!
Together with ClimatePartner, we have calculated our greenhouse gas emissions and worked out Delico AG’s carbon footprint. Offsets, along with the prevention and reduction of greenhouse gases, are an important step towards comprehensive climate protection.
The individual steps we are taking
-
Calculating emissions
When we calculate our corporate carbon footprint (CCF), we include all emissions sources, such as energy and heating, but also business travel, employee commutes, office materials and other emissions that we cause as a business.
-
Preventing and reducing emissions
Our CCF shows us where we can reduce our CO2 emissions further. We update it each year, which lets us keep track of our success in reducing emissions.
-
Offsetting emissions
Nonetheless, there will always be emissions that are unpreventable. We offset them consistently by supporting two climate protection projects from the ClimatePartner portfolio. Forest Protection in Mataven Kolumbien

Creating transparency
Using ClimatePartner ID Tracking, our climate neutrality can be examined based on our “climate-neutral company” label and ID number:
By investing in climate protection projects, we also support sustainable development in countries in the Global South. This includes fighting poverty, promoting gender equality, developing educational opportunities for girls and generally improving living conditions in developing and newly industrialising countries.
Our climate protection projects
-
Forests are one of the planet’s most important tools for storing carbon dioxide, they are home to incredible biodiversity and they are a source of life for all people. However, forest areas globally have shrunk in size drastically in recent decades due to increasing settlement, agricultural usage, illegal logging and mining.
Forest protection projects ensure that forests are preserved in the long term and that the protection of forests is given a higher value than their deforestation. Together with the local population, project participants protect the area from negative influences. To allow for this the projects create alternative sources of income and educational opportunities. Depending on the project region, forests store varying amounts of carbon per hectare. Particularly high amounts of carbon are stored in the vegetation and soil of tropical swamp forests, primary rainforests, or mangroves. Forest protection projects in the ClimatePartner portfolio are registered with international standards.
