The direct CO2 emissions of ConPolicy are low. However, the CO2 emissions created by their energy use and business trips are minimized by:

  • -use of green electricity that is not produced with coal or nuclear power
  • -their website is hosted by a provider that uses green electricity
  • -they dispense with flying as often as possible - if this should not be possible we compensate the CO2 emission of each mile
  • -they only use environmentally-friendly paper in their communications
  • -they use the “go green” service of Deutsche Post DHL to compensate CO2 emissions that relate to the dispatch of letters
