The difficulties we encounter:

We as a company Foto Koch, try to optimize our processes and make them more sustainable, over which we have influence. One difficulty is that we have no influence on the production of the products. We try to use our resources to influence the industry and provide our input. It is particularly difficult to achieve greater sustainability in the technology sector, as materials are used that are simply not sustainable. Nevertheless, we are noticing a change in the industry towards a greener future.

Climate Pact Düsseldorf - we are partners!

Climate-neutral by 2035 - with this goal in mind, the state capital Düsseldorf, the Düsseldorf Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the Düsseldorf Chamber of Skilled Crafts and District Crafts Association founded the "Düsseldorf Climate Pact with Business". The cooperation network supports companies on their way to a more climate-friendly and sustainable future.

DHL Group has set itself the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 42% for direct and indirect emissions from purchased energy and by 25% for other indirect emissions by 2030 compared to the base year 2021. The mission is to reduce all logistics-related emissions to net zero by 2050. For this reason, Group-wide environmental protection programs have been developed. This also includes the Germany-wide sustainability program.

The GoGreen Plus service actively reduces CO2e emissions in shipping and thus makes an active contribution to climate protection.
