Corporate Sustainability

Our focus is on the sustainable use of resources: We make our business decisions with the aim of being environmentally efficient and reducing our need for materials and energy to a minimum.

Sustainability is embodied in our DNA

We believe our company’s focus on success must also match the sustainable use of resources and development of the surrounding components of our business: our operations, employees and business partners.

We further think that digital collaboration through SaaS is resource-efficient in and of itself. The adjustable nature of public cloud hosting environments allows us to scale when required, which reduces our overall material and power consumption demands. It also minimizes the need for in-person business, thereby reducing the necessity for travel.

A viable approach to a sustainable company requires sustainability to be engrained into the DNA of all our processes and business decisions.
