What goes up must come down.

Commitment to Sustainability & Carbon Removal

Jubel takes a structured approach to climate action with a three-step strategy: Measure, Reduce, Remove. They believe you can’t manage what you don’t measure, so they work with their carbon accounting partner Zevero to measure their carbon emissions. They then look to reduce their absolute carbon footprint as well as the carbon intensity of each litre of beer sold. Aware that reductions alone can’t eliminate their entire footprint as of yet, especially while they are doubling the size of their business every year and doing so with an outsourced supply chain, Jubel has committed to offset 100% of its externally validated emissions every year. 

Jubel treats this as a self-imposed environmental tax, which means that as the business grows so will the size of their environmental tax, unless significant steps are taken to reduce their carbon footprint. By pricing these emissions internally and investing in high-quality carbon removals, the company is not just taking responsibility for impact—but driving systemic decarbonisation over time.

To remain transparent on their progress, they report their year-on-year carbon footprint, carbon reduction strategy, and carbon removal portfolio. Read more.

Commitment to Sustainability

Reducing emissions is top priority in the sustainability agenda at Impact Festival. Their strategy is guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and the European Green Deal. Beyond hosting an event that discusses innovation and sustainable transformation, the festival also strives to lead by example in sustainable event organisation. Following the action areas outlined by the Federal Environment Agency, sustainable practices are integrated into every phase of the festival’s planning and execution.

While every effort is made to reduce emissions, Impact Festival acknowledges that a large-scale event will inevitably generate carbon emissions. Recognising the areas of complete emission reduction that are currently unattainable, the festival takes responsibility by actively mitigating its impact through carbon removal and other sustainability initiatives.

"We try to do everything we can to minimise our Event Carbon Footprint (ECF). However, we are aware that we cannot currently reduce to zero when organizing an event. That’s why we see it as our responsibility to counterbalance the unavoidable through targeted investments."

– Rick Neu, Impact Festival

Coffee production is inherently carbon-intensive, from cultivation and processing to transportation and roasting. While Prolog had already taken steps to reduce emissions, they acknowledged the need to go beyond reductions and engage in high-integrity carbon removal. The challenge was identifying a solution that aligned with their values: scientifically robust, transparent, and impactful.

Recognising the environmental impact of coffee production and transportation, Prolog sought a long-term strategy to not just reduce their emissions but also actively remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Introduction by the B Corp Network ensures a partnership with aligned company values, passion, and importantly, trust.

“We want to take ownership of our emissions, not just through reduction but by actively contributing to solutions like carbon removal. Working with Klimate has helped us make informed and impactful decisions.”

-Jonas Gehl, CEO of Prolog

Setting Ambitious Goals‍

OC&C’s primary goal is to reduce its carbon emissions significantly. While they have signed up for net zero targets, they are realistic about the challenges ahead. Acknowledging that their most direct emissions come from their offices, this requires time-consuming changes such as moving buildings or altering leases. And, as a growing firm, emissions might increase in the short term, which poses a challenge in demonstrating their commitment to sustainability.

On the back of a recent B Corp Certification, OC&C’s recent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policies have matured. Highlighting the firm’s historical commitment to good practices, this journey acknowledged the need for a structured approach. This recognition led to a pivotal decision: to take action on their ESG commitments and understand their carbon footprint in detail. And with that knowledge came the decision to do something about it.

“We had historically done a lot of good things, but we've never pulled it together into a sort of singular policy. We knew that this was going to be a long journey. But, as a small company, we were kind of lost on how to access quality, permanent, carbon removals.”

- Deidre Sorensen, Partner at OC&C

This is where Klimate stepped in, providing a diverse range of highly permanent removals tailored to their specific needs.
