Why Protect
the Climate?
Climate protection is essential for maintaining
the foundations of human existence.

Greenhouse Gases
Climate Change is a Fact
Climate Change Background
Climate Protection
The steady temperate rise in the
lower atmosphere is changing our
climate. It is caused by the growing
concentration of greenhouse gases
generated by humans. There is
consensus regarding this effect in
the global scientific community,
and it is maintained in politics and
the media alike.
The rise in carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases is amplifying the
greenhouse effect, thereby leading to
global warming in the lower atmos­
phere. The effects can already be
recognized today: Melting polar caps,
rising sea levels, and increasing wea­
th­er extremes are but a few exam­
ples. Further rises in temperature will
unavoidably lead to natural catastro­
phes such as flooding, drought, and
storms, as well as poverty, insuffi­
cient supply, and social crises.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
is a global challenge for securing
the foundations of human existence.
The only way to limit the tempera­
ture rise to a maximum of 2°C is by
working together.
The objective of climate protection
is to counteract man-made global
warming and to mitigate its conse­
quences. Comprehensive climate
protection is based on the following
principle: Firstly, avoid greenhouse
emissions, and then focus on redu­­-
c­ing them. Unavoidable emissions
should finally be offset by sup­
porting recognized carbon offset
projects.

Climate Protection
with ClimatePartner
ClimatePartner supports companies to effectively
practice climate protection and to enable their customers
to be active in climate protection. We have an extensive
portfolio of services for efficiently and effectively integrat­
ing climate protection into your value chain.
Climate Protection with ClimatePartner
We are your partner for
climate protection solutions
We have five core services for
comprehensive climate protection:
Corporate Carbon
Footprint (CCF)
Product Carbon
Footprint (PCF)
Avoiding & Reducing
Carbon Emissions
Investing in Recognized
Carbon Offset Projects
Positioning Climate
Protection Measures
The foundation for imple­
menting climate protection
measures consists in the
calculation of the carbon
emissions being generated.
A corporate carbon foot­
print shows the volume of
carbon emissions a com­
pany emits.
A product carbon footprint
shows the volume of car­
bon emissions generated
in a product’s lifecycle or
from providing a service.
On the basis of carbon foot­
prints we develop concepts
and strategies for avoiding
and reducing carbon emis­
sions.
Unavoidable emissions
can be offset in our TÜVcertified (technical inspec­
tion authority) processes by
supporting recognized car­
bon offset projects and thus
be made climate neutral.
We will support you in
positioning your climate
protection measures and
marketing your endeavors.
Our services include docu­
menting climate neutrality
and your active contribution
to climate protection with
certificates, ID numbers,
and labels.

The Carbon Footprint Methodology
Methodology – Low Effort at
the Highest Quality Possible
We calculate carbon footprints in
application of international stan­
dards, such as the Greenhouse Gas
Protocol and PAS 2050. We ensure
that we deliver the highest quality
possible to our customers with a low
level of effort employed.
For a Corporate Carbon Footprint,
the data relevant to emissions are
documented using individualized
tools that we have developed for a
specific branch or a specific company.
To calculate a product’s carbon
footprint, we apportion the corpo­
rate carbon footprint for individual
products and services, and then
account for additional input factors
specific to that product or service.
After performing the conversion, we
configure an individualized carbon
calculator that the company can
continually use to determine a
product’s carbon footprint.
IT Solutions and ERP/MIS
Integration – Implementation
Into Your Value Chain
We have developed software so­
lutions with online access for a
number of branches, making data
collection and calculation for carbon
footprints even more efficient. Upon
request, we provide interfaces for
internal company ERP/MIS systems.
It is also possible to comprehen­
sively implement carbon footprint
calculation into ERP/MIS systems.
This means our customers can cal­
culate carbon footprints at the push
of a button using a function that is
fully integrated into their own com­
pany software without the need of
a system change.

Climate Protection
Strategies for Avoiding and
Reducing Carbon Emissions
Method
Comprehensive Integration
We work together with you to define
climate protection strategies based
on carbon footprints. We thereby
compile opportunities for reducing
and avoiding carbon emissions, and
jointly define climate protection
objectives and measures. The final
step is to incorporate a mechanism
for implementation tracking that can
be used to measure and document
the progress and success of climate
protection measures.
It is important that climate protec­
tion strategies are integrated into
corporate strategies as well as into
daily business processes. This is
the only way to effectively imple­
ment climate protection at a com­
pany. We provide our customers
with strong support in this regard.
One component of effective control­
ling is updating the carbon footprint
annually. This makes it possible to
audit objectives in a transparent
manner that is easy to follow.
Furthermore, it is important to
involve employees, customers, and
business partners for coordinating
joint efforts in climate protection.
ClimatePartner will provide you
with support for methods, training
programs, and seminars that we
have developed with our many
years of experience in communica­
ting climate protection measures.

The Mechanism of
Climate Neutrality
Function
Climate protection is a global issue.
Local greenhouse gas emissions
dissipate into the atmosphere uni­
formly. That is why, with regard to
the concentration of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere, it is irrelevant
where emissions are generated and
where they are reduced.
Climate protection is a global phenomenon
•Climate neutrality means:
Offsetting the emissions
generated at one location
by avoiding emissions at
another location
•R
ecognized carbon offset
projects avoid emissions
• Investing in certificates from
carbon offset projects makes
it possible to offset
unavoid­able emissions
Thus, it is possible to offset green­
house gas emissions that cannot
be avoided locally by saving carbon
emissions at another location.
That offset is performed investing
in carbon credits from recognized
carbon offset projects. This “clean
development mechanism” is an­
chored in the Kyoto Protocol and pro­
vides an additional instrument for
attaining climate protection objec­
tives to countries, companies, and
private individuals from industria­
lized nations. Furthermore, it makes
it possible for developing and emer­
ging market countries where carbon
offset projects are implemented
to utilize modern technologies for
energy generation.
For example, in order for a company
to operate climate neutrally, it can
offset all carbon emissions that can­
not be avoided locally by supporting
recognized carbon offset projects.
Advantages
Offsetting carbon is an active
contribution to climate protection.
Demand for climate neutral prod­
ucts is rising steadily. This provi­des
companies with an innovative
opportunity to distinguish them­
selves from competitors.

Investing in Carbon Offset Projects
with the Highest Standards
What Are Carbon Offset Projects?
Carbon offset projects are const­
ructions for generating renewable
energy (such as hydro power) or
saving carbon emissions (such as
reforestation). Carbon offset pro­­j­ects reduce greenhouse gas emis­
sions in a verifiable manner and
make an important contribution to
sustainable economic and ecological
progress in developing and emer­
ging market countries. The particu­
larly strong economic growth during
recent years in those countries has
led to rising energy requirements.
For the global climate, it is irratio­
nal to continue to feed this energy
demand with fossil fuels. Renewable
energies are needed. Carbon offset
projects make it possible for devel­
oping and emerging market coun­
tries to be provided with the corres­
ponding technologies and to finance
low-emission energy generation.
Auditing on a Regular Basis
In order for a project to be recog­
nized as a carbon offset project
and receive the right to issue car­
bon credits for international trade,
specific international criteria and
quality standards have to be met,
which are audited by independent
organizations (such as TÜV, SGS,
PwC). ClimatePartner makes it pos­
sible to offset carbon emissions with
a variety of certified and recognized
carbon offset projects.

ClimatePartner
Munich, Germany. The leading Corporation has
calculated the carbon footprint at its production
facilities in collaboration with the climate
protection consultancy ClimatePartner. As a
supplement to its measures for avoiding and
reducing carbon emissions, the Corporation is
also offsetting the unavoidable carbon emissions
at its production facilities by investing in
recognized carbon offset projects.
ClimatePartner
The Corporation is considered to be a pioneer for
environmental sustainability in its branch. In the
interest of implementing further climate protection
measures, the Corporation has commissioned the
Munich climate protection consultancy ClimatePartner
to determine the carbon emissions at its production
facilities. These calculations account for all direct and
indirect carbon emissions from production.
TÜV-certified
The Corporation has already been saving large
quantities of carbon emissions with its current
measures. It sources electricity from renewable
energies, thereby avoiding direct carbon emissions. The
Corporation will continue to ameliorate its carbon
balance in the future as well by implementing employee
training sessions on energy and resource consumption,
and increasing utilization of public transportation and
video conferences. Offsetting unavoidable carbon
emissions is realized by supporting recognized carbon
offset projects.
