Passion4IT on the way to Net-Zero
Becoming a pioneer for climate action in the region and achieving net zero by 2025
Recording the CO2 balance, internal reduction measures and own company forest in Germany with 3,200 trees
Problem
The IT services company PASSION4IT has deeply embedded sustainability in its values since it was founded in 2019. From the very beginning, PASSION4IT has been a member of One Percent for the planet and has since donated more than 1% of its annual turnover to environmental protection. Now the company wants to go one step further and anchor sustainability holistically in its own corporate strategy.
Christian Kirsch
Managing Director
By working with Planted, we were able to quickly and easily create a carbon footprint for our company and plant 3,200 trees in our company forest. Net Zero 2025 together with Planted!
Solution
Together with Planted, PASSION4IT calculates their internal CO2 emissions and promotes the preservation of our ecosystems. Another goal is the internal reduction of their emissions.
CO2 balance sheet
As a first step on the way to becoming a more sustainable company, PASSION4IT used the Planted SaaS software to collect data on operational emissions. This was entered into the CO₂ calculator of the Planted software solution and analyzed automatically. This revealed the biggest CO₂ hotspots and, in the next step, a reduction plan was drawn up to reduce the balance of 23.14 tons of CO₂e (from 2022).
Own local company forest
By planting 3,200 climate-stable trees, PASSION4IT is actively promoting the protection of biodiversity. The trees are planted in the vicinity of the company and provide an impetus for climate-stable mixed forest. This preserves the forest as an important climate protector and natural CO2 sink with all its protective functions.
Planned reduction measures
Sustainable design of the vehicle fleet
No business trips within Germany by plane
Use of used hardware
Operate server capacities with green electricity
More sustainable promotional gifts and equipment
Result and outlook
PASSION4IT's goal is to become Net-Zero and a leader in the region for true climate action by 2025.
By working with Planted, PASSION4IT was able to obtain an initial overview of its corporate carbon footprint, analyze its emissions, and identify CO2 hotspots. This was the first step towards a holistic sustainability strategy, on the basis of which the company's footprint of 17.37 tons of CO2e will now be actively reduced.
