For a sustainable future through software innovation

Our sustainability goals are clearly defined and closely integrated into our corporate strategy. From 2022 to 2025, we aim to reduce our energy consumption by 30% and CO2 emissions by 40%. We also promote the use of renewable energies and rely on energy-saving technologies.

In 2016, we as a company recorded an increase in our CO2 footprint compared to 2015 of 6.78% as a result of our business trips by car. Unfortunately, our CO2 emissions also increased significantly in 2018, reaching a peak since the beginning of our measurements.

This increase was due to increased business travel and increased use of cars. In our analysis, we identified business trips, car rides and remote working as major savings factors.

The years after 2018 brought significant changes in our carbon footprint. In 2022, we were able to drastically reduce our CO2 emissions to just 0.61 tonnes. This massive decline is due to several factors, including the introduction of home offices and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which have led to a reduction in travel activity.

The difference between 2016, 2018 and 2022 is impressive. Between 2016 and 2018, CO2 emissions increased by 6.58%, indicating an increase in business travel and the use of cars. But after 2018, we have reduced our CO2 emissions by a remarkable 90.16%. This shows how effective the promotion of remote work and the reduction of travel can be.

Overall, we have saved 89.83% in the last 5 years by adapting our travel behaviour and switching to sustainable working practices. This shows that conscious action and the introduction of home office can lead to significant savings. Out of 60 employees, only 8 employees come to the office every day on average, compared to 2018, when all employees drove to work every day. The 8 employees travel an average of 12 km for the work.

Our successes are measurable: thanks to our sustainability efforts, we have reduced our energy use by 90% in the last 5 years.

We promote diversity in our workforce and rely on employee engagement to create an inclusive corporate culture. Instead of sending Christmas presents to our clients, we use the budget to donate to charities that support homeless people. As a locally based company, we not only support international aid organisations such as Doctors without Borders, Reporters Without Borders, UN Refugee Aid, Amnesty International and Unicef, but are also committed to local aid workers. These include Gast-Haus, Bodo and DoDog, which work intensively for animals in need and the needs of the homeless by providing direct, immediate help. We value diversity in our workforce and encourage employee engagement in order to create an inclusive corporate culture. We focus on joint projects and initiatives on social responsibility. These actions underline our commitment to a positive social impact, both globally and locally.

Our financial performance is in line with our sustainability strategy. We believe that economic success and sustainability can go hand in hand.

We are aware of the sustainability risks and are actively working to address them. This includes possible regulatory changes and the challenge of meeting our sustainability goals. However, we are confident that our innovative strength and commitment will help us meet these challenges. Innosoft remains committed to putting sustainability at the heart of our business practices and actively contributing to creating a sustainable future.
