Since complete avoidance of CO2 emissions throughout the value chain is difficult to achieve, companies can invest in climate protection projects and offset their residual emissions by purchasing certificates. To avoid green washing, this should always be based on a science-based calculation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/corporate-carbon-footprint\/\">carbon footprint<\/a>\u00a0in addition climate protection projects should be chosen carefully.<\/p>\n<p>DFGE &#8211; as the only partner of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/cdp-climate-change\/\">CDP<\/a> for Science Based Targets (SBT) &#8211; supports you holistically and according to scientific standards in the topic of climate strategy.

At DFGE, we support you in working carbon neutral in parts or as a whole. In this process, CO2 emissions caused by individual business processes or the entire company as well as the value chain are reduced, e.g. through energy saving and energy efficiency improvement measures.
