We combine digital progress with environmental responsibility
We shape the digital future and take responsibility for the climate, our society and future generations.
Strategy
Our Strategy: Avoid. Reduce. Offset.
Our path to climate neutrality follows a clear set of priorities. Rather than relying solely on offsetting, we focus on a holistic strategy that tackles the root causes.
Avoid emissions systematically.
The best emission is the one that never happens in the first place. That is why we focus on digital collaboration and sustainable mobility.
Actively reduce resource consumption.
We improve our efficiency and source 100% renewable electricity for all our offices.
Responsibly offset what you cannot avoid.
We fully offset unavoidable emissions through carefully selected and certified climate protection projects.

Our Carbon Footprint: Transparent and Accountable
Trust is built through transparency. That is why we disclose our emissions data and have our progress validated independently. Since 2020, our operations have been climate-neutral, certified by TÜV Rheinland.
Our Goal: Net Zero by 2035. We work to steadily reduce our footprint across the entire value chain to achieve our ambitious net-zero target.

Focus Projects
More Than CO₂ Offsetting: Projects With a Lasting Impact
When selecting our compensation projects, we apply the highest standards, such as Gold Standard or VCS. We focus on initiatives that deliver holistic benefits. Here are two examples:
Protecting the Rainforest in Borneo
This project protects Borneo’s valuable rainforest. It safeguards a vast CO₂ carbon store and preserves the unique habitat of endangered species such as the orangutan.
Renewable Energy in Central America
We promote clean hydropower energy in Central America. This accelerates the transfer of climate-friendly technology and supports the development of local communities.
Our Initiative
Bee Sponsorship
90% of global food production comes from plants. Of these, 71% depend on pollination by bees. A single colony can pollinate up to 500 million flowers and plants each year, making a significant contribution to agricultural yields. The ongoing decline of bee populations and biodiversity is already causing visible losses across the environment and agriculture. It is time to protect bees.
That is why we are working with a partner to help protect bees, nature, and the environment. By supporting our own bee colony, we are making a valuable contribution to biodiversity.

Sustainability
Sustainability, Centred on People
Climate action is only one part of how we define responsibility. We take a holistic view of sustainability – environmental, economic and social.
Forward-Looking Entrepreneurship
A liveable digital future already depends on resilient business models, efficient use of resources and long-term investment rather than short-term profit seeking. This mindset shapes our day-to-day work. Together with our customers and partners, we develop solutions that create the future.
People at the Centre
Anyone who takes a holistic view of sustainability strengthens communities and creates fair conditions through education, health, and social inclusion. That is firmly embedded in our Salesfive DNA – for example through professional development and health programmes. We also support social initiatives and, of course, give our team members the backing they need for volunteer work.
