Sustainability

This is how you can reduce CO2 emissions and achieve climate neutrality.

Start your Journey to Zero for a sustainable future

In our environment, which is characterised by innovative technologies, sustainability is a constant companion. As an IT service provider, we see it as our responsibility to promote technological excellence, make our contribution to a sustainable future and integrate sustainable aspects into our services and processes. Be it through energy-efficient cloud transformation and cloud architectures, AI solutions to optimise resources or sustainable software development that enables long-term value creation. We shape the digital transformation in such a way that it is both innovative and future-proof.

Our services for your Journey to Zero

In the long term, environmental sustainability is the biggest challenge for companies and organisations of all kinds. In addition to legal regulations, it is above all the expectations of stakeholders that require rapid action. With the "Journey to Zero", Materna offers a modular concept for a sustainability strategy from which companies in all sectors can benefit. The Journey to Zero ranges from the creation of a roadmap to the compilation of a carbon footprint and consideration of various use cases for CO2 reduction through to the automated creation of a CSR report.

We accompany you on this journey with various consulting and implementation services, which we provide alone or together with partners from our ecosystem. Our focus is on the implementation of digitalisation projects to reduce CO2 emissions. We also advise you throughout the entire Journey to Zero and provide guidance to help you stay on course.

Where are you on your journey? 5 use cases for more sustainability

Numerous requirements and expectations increase the complexity of the topic of sustainability for companies. These may be legal requirements, customer and supplier specifications or employee expectations. Our strategic consulting clarifies open questions and gives you orientation: What are the starting points for your company? What quick wins can be realised and how do they contribute to a long-term strategy?

From 2023, companies in Germany with 250 employees or more will be required to prepare an annual CSR report. This means that all company divisions must record, collate, evaluate and prepare all data onCO2 emissions. Every year anew. Summarising and preparing this data manually ties up enormous resources and is also prone to errors. We offer integrated partner solutions for carbon footprinting and CSR reporting that enable you to reduce your workload in the long term and conserve resources.

From 2023, companies with more than 3,000 employees will have a special duty of care - from 2024, this will also apply to companies with more than 1,000 employees. The duty of care includes, among other things, complaints procedures, risk management and the presentation of supplier lists. Structured processes, the commitment of resources and the associated costs are the basic prerequisites for complying with the transparent supply chain. At the same time, the pressure of impending fines weighs heavily on companies that do not comply with due diligence.

We support companies throughout the entire process of a transparent supply chain: from data collection and analysis to the establishment of guidelines, compliance checks and advice on customised software solutions.

OffsettingCO2 is an option for optimising theCO2 balance. Offsetting projects must be carried out annually. In the long term, this approach becomes time-consuming and cost-intensive, as it can be repeated annually while the supply situation remains opaque.

Whether a digital twin for production, optimised route planning as a mobility solution, improved energy management for buildings or simply the optimisation of processes to reduce costs - there are numerous starting points in various industries for reducingCO2 by digitalising processes. We support organisations from consulting and implementation through to long-term hosting so that you can fully exploit your sustainable digitalisation potential.

Positioning yourself as a modern, sustainable employer can give you a decisive advantage in the competition for talent. Let's sharpen your employer brand together. For example, shine with professional video content on your sustainability strategy.

It is also important to sensitise existing employees to the topic of sustainability. We offer you customised e-learning courses on topics such as environmental management or diversity, equal opportunities and participation.
