Sustainability at status C

Responsible today, tomorrow and beyond

We stand for holistic digitalisation and paperless processes – and thus for a sustainable, environmentally conscious future.

For us, digitalisation and sustainability go hand in hand – because simply by integrating our resource-saving solutions, we are helping our customers to minimise their carbon footprint. We are convinced that acting responsibly in the here and now lays the foundation for a world worth living in tomorrow and beyond.

Our commitment to the German "Sustainability Code"

Although, as a company with fewer than 250 employees, we are not legally obliged to report on sustainability, we have made a conscious decision to prepare a Sustainability Code report. In doing so, we want to make our endeavours towards sustainability transparent, disclose them and set our own benchmarks.

Our measures include the precise measurement of our CO2 emissions, electricity and heating consumption, as well as raising awareness of our social responsibility as a company operating throughout Europe. Our aim is to keep our consumption of resources stable or even reduce it - despite our company's growth.

These endeavours are a central component of our corporate strategy and will help us to continue offering sustainable solutions in the future.

Together we are shaping a sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

Our sustainability strategy comprises a large number of measures that we continuously review and improve:

  • Process management and strategy: We disclose our processes and regularly scrutinise them. We have drawn up detailed reports on our CO2 emissions in order to continuously monitor and optimise our resource consumption.

  • Sustainability community: We have set up our own community that deals specifically with sustainability issues and promotes initiatives such as fair trade coffee and sustainable advertising materials, such as our plantable flyers.

  • Sustainable products: In addition to sustainable advertising materials, we also rely on long-lasting technology and avoid annual replacements in order to reduce electronic waste.

  • Environmentally friendly mobility: Our employees prefer to travel to our customers by train or in car pools in order to minimise CO2 emissions.

Sustainable coffee at the Berlin office of 19grams Specialty Coffee

Our partnership with the Berlin-based coffee roastery 19grams is based on shared values: Sustainability, quality and transparency. 19grams favours direct trade and close and fair partnerships with farmers worldwide, especially in Costa Rica, Colombia and Ethiopia, promoting sustainable farming practices without middlemen. This close cooperation ensures fair prices and enables coffee farmers to establish and maintain sustainable cultivation methods. This way, 19grams not only returns high-quality beans, but also knowledge and resources to the local economy.

The cooperation with our neighbours at Alexanderplatz in Berlin also has very simple logistical advantages: the short transport routes mean fewer emissions and support local value chains. We not only benefit from a weekly delivery of freshly roasted beans, but also make a small contribution to protecting the environment by reducing logistical steps.

Through this cooperation, we as a company are relying on a partner that is committed to preserving coffee-growing regions and promoting sustainable production methods and is continuously working to minimise environmental impact and strengthen local communities.

WIEWALDI coffee roasters: Our sustainable coffee dealer in Cologne

We also source the coffee for our Cologne office from a reliable and sustainable source: WIEWALDI Coffee Roasters. WIEWALDI is our go-to supplier for specialty coffee: climate-resilient, high-quality, with punch and full flavour. Community coffee from cultivation to cup.

Through this cooperation, we support a company with strong roots in Cologne and save emissions thanks to short transport routes.

Owner Anna sources the coffee through personal contacts and focuses on long-term partnerships. By sourcing our coffee from WIEWALDI, we support fair trade, which enables everyone involved in the production chain to make a living. They are also committed to increasing the visibility of women and their work, whether in cultivation, import or local partnerships.
