Our contribution to climate protection
Responsible transportation. CO2 emissions related to climate change are a concern for the economy. We also rely on transportation in our activities. Therefore, we have decided to calculate all emissions generated by shipping between our logistics centers and branches and to make a corresponding contribution to climate protection. In this, myclimate helps us as an experienced sustainability partner.
Our collaboration with myclimate
Thanks to the cooperation with myclimate, we take responsibility for the CO2 emissions caused.
Climate finance for transport emissions flows into a portfolio of international climate protection projects. The projects supported by myclimate meet the highest standards (Gold Standard, Plan Vivo) and thus contribute to the UN's SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). In addition to targeted greenhouse gas reduction, myclimate also supports educational and advisory projects. This promotes social, ecological, and economic development in various regions.
DQ Solutions supports, among others, the following international myclimate projects
For efficient cookers save habitat for the last mountain gorillas of Rwanda
Less firewood consumption means habitat for animals, less deforestation, fewer greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, more time and money, and improved health for women and girls in Rwanda! This is achieved through the subsidized sale of energy-efficient stoves to families around the Volcanoes National Park in the northwest of Rwanda.
Circular economy through plastic recycling in Romania
This climate protection project promotes the recycling of used PET bottles and other plastic waste. The recycled PET flakes and granules obtained are reused, for example, in the packaging industry or for insulation materials in the construction sector. This conserves resources and reduces the impact on the climate.
The blue forests of Madagascar protect coral reefs
Healthy mangrove forests, also called "blue forests", store CO2, protect the population from natural hazards, and help preserve coral reefs – a vital habitat for endangered species. The climate protection project promotes the sustainable use of mangroves to prevent deforestation and degradation.
