TRANSFORMING MINDS. TRANSFORMING COMPANIES.
We provide holistic solutions to improve one’s environmental footprint and to actively support transformations towards sustainability.
Thereby we follow our vision to empower any person to lead their own sustainability journey.
In order to incorporate sustainability ideas into corporate decisions, you need conviction – an individual conviction on the part of the decision-makers.
We offer companies a learning and experience platform for managers to make consistently usable the idea of „starting with oneself and then transferring the findings into entrepreneurial action”.
Here, one’s own life environmental impacts are assessed and the foundation is laid for further steps on the way to more sustainability in one’s personal life as well as in the transformation of the company.
We offer holistic sustainability consulting services that provide companies with a comprehensive understanding of the environmental and social impacts of their businesses. Scientifically sound and applying state-of-the-art standards and methods, our consultancy assists you setting courageous impact reduction targets and working consistently towards executing your reduction and compensation strategy.
On the way to a sustainable company, information, communication, persuasion, new learning and relearning are needed. To be able to offer our clients holistic solutions, greenzero has brought the HQ Group into the team. In this way we combine professionalism with digital methodological competence. When it comes to internal communication, management events, sustainability reports, a learning campaign or individual learning media, you should keep reading …
»During the development of our environmentally neutral dm product range, we took a close look at the life cycle assessment of many of our products and ingredients. In parallel, a greenzero project also enabled us to determine our personal life eco-balance.
The findings from this project had a lasting impact on me and were the ideal complement for me not to lose sight of the focus in our product development for the best possible environmental compatibility«
»The development of sustainable technology is the focus of umlaut and through the unique competencies of our engineers we can also play a significant role in shaping this in the next decade. The greenzero project served to show our colleagues the complexity of the topic in order to create new ways of thinking.
The individual results have shown a wide range, clearly describing the different life phases and styles of the participants. The professional impact through the travel activities was clearly visible and sharpened everyone’s understanding that sustainability as a consultancy can be achieved mainly through sustainable solutions for the client.«
»Saving our planet is not optional. Sustainability should be part of everything we do. Be it professionally, in industry or privately. All our decisions should be based on it. At umlaut, we want to do our part by offering our technological competence, but also our expertise in change management, to achieve this goal.
Being intensively involved with the topic on a daily basis has helped me to ask the right questions and to question my behavior practically all day long in every decision. I have learned a lot: about sustainability and about myself.«
»Each of us has known the facts of climate change for years. And we all actually know what needs to be done to stop the trend. Despite their explosive nature, the global figures, data and facts often seem abstract and far away.
The personal Life LCA is quite different: The inventory of one’s own (consumption) behavior is insightful, but above all it appeals to us emotionally. Getting the green footprint of one’s own life in black and white makes us think, without raising a moral finger. I will make some decisions more consciously in the future, both as a private person and in my role as a leader and shaper of an organization. And it is the latter that has particular effectiveness.«
The Nutreco-owned company Skretting is a global leader in providing innovative and sustainable nutritional solutions for the aquaculture industry, operating in 18 countries and producing 2.4 million tonnes of feed annually:
“The application and implementation of the Life Cycle Assessment method helped us tremendously to understand the impact of our company and the products we sell as well as to develop meaningful and efficient footprint reduction strategies based on facts. For example, we learned that 96% of our company’s carbon footprint is related to the raw materials we purchase. The results give us deep insights over which raw materials and suppliers contribute most to our footprint (and why) and which ones are the most promising to focus on strategically to lower our footprint, without risking an environmental burden shift.”
